VERTUEUX — French-Ecuadorian cuisine, haute cuisine style

There are fusion restaurants that "mix."
And then there is Vertueux, which composes.

Vertueux is a gourmet restaurant in the truest sense of the word, with a rare and powerful identity: a confident, elegant, and perfectly mastered fusion of French and Ecuadorian cuisine. People don't come here just to tick the "exotic" box. You come to experience cuisine that tells a story: the meeting of French precision and the sunny generosity of Ecuador, of technique and emotion, of detail and obviousness.

A merger with real backbone

The difference is noticeable from the very first minutes: Vertueux does not offer a "superficial" fusion.
It is not a French menu with a tropical touch here and there. It is a cuisine conceived as a dialogue: French gastronomic rigor meets Ecuadorian inspirations that bring relief, depth, colors, textures, and intensities.

And the result is exactly what you would expect from a modern gastro restaurant:
dishes that surprise without losing their way, that dare without forcing, that make an impression without shouting.

A gastronomic experience, but a lively one

Vertueux is one of those restaurants where you can feel the touch, the vision, the level.
The cuisine focuses on balance: acidity, roundness, freshness, power—with French precision that brings everything together and Ecuadorian energy that electrifies the plate.

What you experience here is not a traditional dinner. It is a progression. A rhythm. A construction. You move forward dish by dish, as you would through a story—and you understand that the identity of the place is not just a setting: it is in the taste.

The atmosphere: intimate, elegant, perfect for a special occasion

Vertueux has that rare talent: being gourmet without being rigid.

The atmosphere is elegant and cozy, with just the right amount of intimacy to give your meal a special touch. You can come here for a big occasion, an important birthday, a celebration, or a special evening. But you can also come here on a date—and it's almost unfair how much the place elevates the experience on its own.

It's the kind of place where an evening becomes "special" without you even having to say it.

Who is it for?

For those who like to be surprised, but with class.
For those who want a gourmet experience unlike any other.
For those seeking a fusion cuisine—between French precision and Ecuadorian inspiration that brings warmth, vibrancy, and personality.

Vertueux is also perfect for a dinner for two where you really want to get it right: because intimacy, high standards, and originality form a formidable trio.

Why Vertueux remains in the lead

Because when French and Ecuadorian cuisine come together, the result is something rare: a cuisine that is both masterful and vibrant. And Vertueux achieves exactly that.

You leave with that feeling we all seek:
having discovered a unique, serious, inspired place—a restaurant with soul.

Vertueux is not just a good restaurant.
It's a signature.
