Ecuadorian Home Cooking Experience

Lourdes Pozo Suarez
Lula
Lourdes Pozo (Lula), founder of Lulapo was born in Guayaquil Ecuador, but has lived most of her life in Quito. Raised in a traditional ecuadorian household, Lula learned from her grandmother and mother the secrets of home cooking.
Her family’s property in La Merced, Valle de los Chillos is 17 km away from Quito (45 minute drive). Here you can find the peace, quiet and amazing views that only the highlands of Ecuador can provide.
Her cuisine is based on local ingredients harvested the same day, fresh from “La Huerta” or supplied by local farmers. Enjoy brunch like a local when visiting Lula’s family home, while learning about traditions and culture from the best host in town, Lula.
Welcome to Ecuador, Enjoy life!
from 11:00 am until 5:00pm
Our Brunch
Ur brunch is made with fresh, seasonal ingredients — many picked straight from our garden (la huerta) each morning, and others sourced from nearby farms and local shops in La Merced. Everything is prepared and served the very same day to keep it as fresh as possible.
Brunch is enjoyed at the table, in different cozy corners of the house, at different times. The menu changes with the season, so every visit brings something new to discover.
