“Without a doubt, one of my favorite places. I really enjoy the personalized attention from Chef Oscar and his staff, especially the bartenders, who are very attentive. The food is excellent and can be enjoyed at the bar or in the main dining room, depending on the occasion.”

“I was invited for my birthday and didn't receive any special treatment, even though it's not relevant. The place is beautiful and sophisticated, but the service isn't the best. I ordered a personal paella, but unfortunately, it was very salty, had very little rice, and the bottom crust was burnt. The owner offered me another one, but it was too late. If they improve a few things, it would be a very good option for Spanish cuisine in Quito.”

“Irati is, without exaggeration, the gold standard for Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine in Quito. If you are looking for the very best the city has to offer in this category, this is it — and it stands comfortably above comparable restaurants like Casa Damián. The experience at Irati goes far beyond excellent food. Every dish reflects precision, authenticity, and deep respect for Spanish culinary tradition, while still feeling vibrant and contemporary. The flavors are bold yet balanced, refined without being pretentious. From perfectly executed seafood to rich, soulful Iberian classics, everything arrives at the table with confidence. A key part of what makes Irati exceptional is its owner, Chef and ethnologist Oscar. His warmth, experience, and cultural depth elevate the evening into something more than dinner — it becomes a curated journey. He doesn’t just run a restaurant; he hosts an experience. His presence adds personality, storytelling, and a level of hospitality that is increasingly rare. The wine selection deserves special recognition. Irati offers an impressive and carefully curated variety of high-quality labels, including outstanding bottles like Teso La Monja. Whether you are a seasoned collector or simply enjoy a great pairing, the cellar here is serious, thoughtful, and exciting. In a city that continues to raise its culinary standards, Irati is not just keeping pace — it’s setting it. If you appreciate authentic Spanish cuisine, world-class wines, and an atmosphere shaped by expertise and passion, Irati is in a league of its own.”

“Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. We followed the server’s recommendations, but both dishes were terrible. The orejas were horrible, and the paella was overly salty and had an unpleasantly hard texture. It did not taste fresh at all. The desserts were also a letdown—they tasted stale, as if they had been sitting out for a week. To make matters worse, we parked in their designated parking lot, only to find that they allowed another car to block us in. We had to wait 30 minutes before we could leave. Overall, this was a frustrating experience, and we definitely won’t be coming back.”

“Very good Spanish food, quite authentic flavors. Good service and a cozy environment, with bullfight themes. The Cochinillo and the Paella were very good!”

“Well, at this place we spent around $200 between four people, since we ordered appetizers, four main courses, and a rosé wine. Okay, I'll start from the beginning; parking is a bit limited, but there are spaces, and the area is quite busy, which might be a little tricky. However, the restaurant's atmosphere is very nice. There aren't many tables, or at least I'm not sure if there are more plants, but the decor is quite cozy and classy, ​​with a large window where we could sit and enjoy a relaxing view. The waiter was friendly and attentive; no complaints there. The food was delicious 😋. Honestly, very few restaurants make me say that so frankly. Perhaps the appetizer wasn't quite what I expected; it wasn't bad, but it was just okay. But the main courses and desserts were all truly excellent. I would definitely return to this restaurant with great enthusiasm and high expectations. The price of each dish is worth it; it's a bit pricey, but money well spent. Bring special people to this restaurant, not just any ordinary person, because they will truly enjoy the evening.”
