Bar-Restaurante El Mirador

The Oriente


Five blocks north of the main square, this is where Macas folks come to chill with a couple of cold ones, including Ecuadorian microbrews, if you're into that sort of thing...which we are. Kick back on the terrace alongside Parque Recreacional, overlooking the mirador (viewpoint) over the Río Upano. Edible offerings include steak, pasta and salads.
