    Venessa did a wonderful job with many different dishes, both savory and sweet. It was a pleasure! We did not meet at the location indicated in the description but instead at her home- which surprised us.

    Vanessa cooked some great food, and had excellent conversation! She's bilingual so Spanish or English works out either way! Come with an empty stomach or you won't be able to finish all the wonderful food!

    Vanessa was a wonderful cook and great conversationalist! She was also very willing to share recipes. My favorite food was the highland ceviche and the espumilla!

    I loved this experience! Vanessa and her husband were such welcoming hosts, and it was fun to try new foods and hear the history behind it. I went solo but ended up meeting new friends, too! It’s been a significant highlight of my time in Cuenca!

    What to expect

    Begin your tasting session in a carefully selected local setting, where food is not treated as a spectacle, but as part of everyday life in Ecuador. You’ll meet your local host and a small group of fellow travelers before starting a guided tasting of up to 32 traditional Ecuadorian foods, paired with local drinks. This experience is designed for curious eaters — no cooking skills required, just an appetite to understand how people in Cuenca actually eat. As you taste, your host explains what each item is, when locals eat it, and why it matters culturally. You’ll learn details that rarely show up on menus or food tours, helping you decode Ecuadorian cuisine far beyond restaurants. The rhythm is relaxed and social. There’s time to ask questions, compare flavors, take candid photos, and enjoy the moment without rushing from stop to stop. You leave with a deeper understanding of Ecuador food culture, real memories to share, and the confidence of our 5-star money-back guarantee.

    Discover the flavors of Cuenca with a local culinary expert, guiding you through up to 32 unique tastes that showcase Ecuador’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage — a fusion of Andean roots, colonial elegance, and southern highland traditions. This is not a cooking class, not a walking tour, and not your typical sit-down meal. It’s a feast for your senses and your curiosity. Sample golden llapingachos, taste sharp artisanal cheeses from the nearby highlands, and sip canelazo, a warming drink made with cinnamon and naranjilla. Cuenca’s unique blend of altitude, tradition, and innovation adds depth to every bite. Join us on this unforgettable journey into Cuenca’s vibrant food scene and cultural soul! This experience happens in the safety of our chef's home and not in a culinary studio. You'll get a glimpse into how locals live, cook and eat.

    The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
