Each region carries its own conditions climate, soil, altitude, and rhythm all influencing how ingredients grow, are sourced, and ultimately prepared. 🌿

From the coastal warmth, to the cold of the highlands, to the depth of the Amazonía, every environment brings a distinct character not only in flavor, but in the way food is understood.

🇪🇨✨ at COTOA, reinterpreting the flavors of each region becomes a way of honoring Ecuador paying tribute to its diversity, its ingredients, and the cultural richness that lives behind every dish.

Today, we celebrate something truly special for us. It’s a great milestone along the way. 🇪🇨✨

Cotoa has been honored by the MICHELIN Guide with a Bib Gourmand distinction a recognition that celebrates flavor, quality, and the experience we strive to create every day.

This moment belongs to our team, to everyone who believed in us, and to every lesson, challenge, and victory that shaped this journey.

And above all, it belongs to Ecuador to our ingredients, traditions, stories, and to the Ecuadorian culinary community that continues to inspire the world.

Before Cotoa, there was Somos, our restaurant back in Ecuador the place where this dream first began, and where our team of more than 40 people continues to give everything they have to share Ecuadorian cuisine with the world.

Thank you for being part of this story. 🤍

At this year’s Annual Concierge Day, conversations around Miami’s dining scene brought together some of the people shaping where the city is headed next. ✨

Chef Alejandra Espinoza joined Michael Beltran and Alexander Ringelb for a panel focused on the evolution of Miami gastronomy, the cultures influencing it, and the flavors pushing it forward.

A meaningful moment for COTOA and for Ecuadorian cuisine to be part of a larger conversation about what hospitality and dining in Miami can become. 🇪🇨

Thanks to for the invitation and for bringing these conversations together.

In Ecuador, plátano isn’t just one thing. 🇪🇨

It’s a whole language. Verde, maduro, maqueño, orito each one with its own purpose, texture, and way of showing up at the table.

Brought to the Americas centuries ago, it became something else here: an ingredient that adapted, evolved, and rooted itself deeply into everyday cooking and identity. ✨

From crispy chifles to soft maduros, from broths to masa, plátano is not just cooked it’s transformed. At COTOA, we explore those possibilities through dishes like our green plantain empanadas, sweet plantain tortellinis with seco de pollo, Cangrejada con Patacón, and our Snapper Encocado served with sweet plantains. 🍌

The Andean Negroni is our way of bringing familiar flavors into a completely different setting. ✨

Built from the classic structure of a negroni, but inspired by ingredients and aromas that feel closer to the Andes, warmer, earthier, and deeply rooted in where we come from.

A cocktail that feels bold at first sip, but keeps unfolding the longer you sit with it. 🍸🌿

Being part of the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team paddock as the first Ecuadorian restaurant was far more than an invitation — it was an opportunity to share Ecuador with the world. 🇪🇨🏁

For a few days, our flavors, ingredients, and traditions arrived at one of the most iconic stages in the world through every plate we served.

From our ceviche Jipijapa, panes de yuca and hornado, to the stories behind each preparation, we were proud to bring a little piece of Ecuador to the Aston Martin house.

More than anything, we’re deeply grateful for the hospitality, generosity, and warmth of the Aston Martin team. Being alongside them, learning from their culture of excellence, and sharing this experience with their guests and collaborators was truly special for us.

Thank you to Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team, and to the incredible sponsors and collaborators who helped make this possible: .tableware ✨

And thank you to everyone who continues believing in our vision of taking Ecuadorian cuisine further into the world.

Seguimos. 🤍
