Oui Chef

South Coast


This new edition is one of the coolest hangout spots in town. A converted VW campervan food truck fronts onto a sleek patio with fairy lights and wooden tables, offering typical French dishes like crepes and beef bourguignon. Finish with a chocolate dessert and proper ground Ecuadorian coffee. All ingredients are sourced from local farms. It's behind the Barcelo Colon hotel.
