Jodoco Belgian Brew

Top choice in Cuenca


Blessedly authentic Belgian beer, brewed in Cuenca and served alongside lovely bistro fare, is poured at this appealing plaza-side spot with patio seating. A jazz soundtrack and clean, moody interior set the scene for a relaxed sip of craft-beer bliss. We love the Petit Belge: not an obvious fave, but subtly spicy and refreshing after a day's sightseeing.
