"Leaving my family farm outside Loja, Ecuador, I moved to Europe and learned to cook in some of the best restaurants. After years of missing home, I decided to bring a little bit of Ecuador, with a twist, to London by opening up El Inca Plebeyo."

What our guests say

Excellent restaurant. While I've eaten at South American restaurants many times, they've been mostly Argentinian and Peruvian, so it was my first time at an Ecuadorian place. It was definitely worth it. All the dishes were good, both starters (croquettes and aubergine) and mains (spinach lamb and fish stew). The quinoa dessert was amazing. I enjoyed the decor and the service was fast and friendly. I guess the only note is that the mains - especially the lamb - were a bit small in size, so you might need something extra.
Recommended in any case.

Great food, atmosphere, and location! You can tell these are dishes made by a chef with knowledge and experience of Michelin restaurants. We loved every bite, explosions of flavours, a whole experience. We had the pleasure to meet the owner, a gentleman and a master in his craft. Would totally recommend this spot!

Don't think twice, come to this restaurant. this place is a must try if you want good food that is not your standard cuisine. The ceviches and tiradito were some of the best I've had. All the meals were fresh and flavorful. The quinoa pudding dessert was out of this world and very unique. It's been a while that I've had food that surprised me and I eat out and about all the time. Highly recommended place and the service is also on point and very friendly atmosphere. Just plan to come here you will be happy.

What an amazing local gem 💎
If you want to taste the real Ecuadorean food you cannot miss it!
The ceviche is so fresh and tasty, the tuna fish soup was delightful and the quinoa dessert with icecream the perfect end to an amazing dinner.
Our server was lovely and give us great suggestions, definitely recommended!

So I would rate the food 4.5. I’m giving 5 overall because it is good. Tasty, fresh and different. Subtle flavours but harmonious and delicious. The pork belly was v good and the yellow fin tuna soup was deep and comforting and lip smackingly scrummy. The famed quinoa pudding is a concoction that reminds me of crème brûlée and rice pudding. So I enjoyed that as that’s 2 of my favourite puddings rolled in 1! It was v relaxed and a lovely atmosphere. Friendly service and cool vibe and decor. Will come again.
