We've been back there multiple times now, great looking place with good food and very friendly and caring staff. Make sure you leave some room for the dessert which is to die for! More

Similar to other restaurants as far as menu and service. No complaints, but nothing outstanding to say Wow... More

Very tourist/ex pat orientated, Kookaburra cafe was like a little slice of home in Ecuador - and sometimes that's just what you need when you're travelling for a while. Great breakfasts and awesome coffee, run by a very friendly Australian couple. It was just what we were after so if you're craving some western food and hospitality, head to Kookaburra More

The food was excellent and reasonably priced.I had a n omelette with wild mushrooms which was great and Chris,s special juice concoction again great. Chris and Jenny are Aussies but soon a Canadian couple... More

Delicious sandwiches and breakfast and a warm, clean, inviting atmosphere. This is clearly an ex-pat spot and has Australian owners, so the food and service are what you would get in the US or Australia. Daily specials, great desserts, and menu in Spanish and English. More

I go on Sundays because it is one of the few breakfast restaurants open in the a.m. on Sunday. They are in transition of ownership right now but I expect the new owners will keep everything the same including great service and great food in a warm and natural ambiance. More
