Eat & Drink in Cuenca!
Czech Beer & Food
There is a thriving international beer scene that’s brewing up fantastic results from the Andean waters flowing into Cuenca.
Cuenca boasts a large immigrant/expat community after all. And this clearly shows throughout the city’s brewpubs. Nowhere else in South America have we seen such a vast array of local breweries representing their home styles from abroad.

For Adventurous Eaters: Try Cuy in Cuenca
Guijebamba is the oft-recommended restaurant in Cuenca to try cuy. But be aware that Guijebamba requires a call-ahead order (or a very long wait) to prepare. You’ll also need to order an entire cuy, which is $22. So it’s not particularly conducive for anyone who may simply want to try cuy for the first time.

nstead, look for cuy at the aforementioned Av Don Basco. Or we can personally recommend Picanteria Reine del Cisne, near the Mirador de Turi. Here, you can order a 1/4 cuy meal for $5.50 or even a mixed hornado and cuy plate for $8.50. That way you’ll have plenty of other food to fall back on if you decide the cuy isn’t to your taste.
