Coastal Soul, Latin Spirit

A vibrant dining experience inspired by the Ecuadorian coast

Stirred by the freshness of the Pacific Ocean and infused with the rhythmic soul of Latin culture, this new dining concept evokes the character, color, and warmth of Ecuador’s coastal landscape.

The interiors are defined by a muted, natural palette of cream and ocean blues, washed woods, and handcrafted macramé, creating a light, breezy atmosphere that feels both grounded and elevated. At the bar, sun-bleached walls and oversized bongos add a touch of playful nostalgia—transporting guests to another time and place, where every detail tells a story of culture, craft, and coastal beauty.

Step into a world where the crisp ocean breeze dances through the air, and the vibrant pulse of Latin culture is woven into every detail. This new dining experience is a celebration of the character and brilliance that defines the Ecuadorian coast.

The ambiance is carefully curated, with washed woods creating a sense of natural warmth, complemented by a muted palette of cream and blue that mirrors the tranquil hues of the ocean. Handcrafted macramé artfully drapes the space, adding an intricate touch that pays homage to the artisanal spirit ingrained in Latin culture.

As you settle into this airy haven, you'll find yourself transported to the heart of the Ecuadorian coast, where the essence of the sea is palpable in every corner. The design is not just aesthetic but a sensory journey, inviting you to savor the freshness of the ocean in every bite.

At the bar, sun-bleached walls surround you, creating a backdrop reminiscent of coastal cliffs kissed by the sun. Oversized bongos stand as playful sentinels, their rhythmic presence adding a whimsical touch to the space. Together, they form a portal, inviting you to leave the present behind and embark on a journey to another time and place.
