Casa Hood

Location:
Luis A. Martinez (between Halflants and Alfaro)
Baños, Ecuador

Restaurant

By Malcolm Ravenscroft

Tucked away behind the market, part café/restaurant, part bookshop, part cinema, Casa Hood is an eccentric gem. The decorations made up of family snapshots, leftover New Years masks and bizarre art work combine with the friendly and helpful staff to create a great atmosphere. The international food is truly delicious and very reasonably priced - try the blackened Cajun-style sea bass, falafel plate, spicy curry, or black bean stir fry. There is also an extensive choice for vegetarians, in addition to yummy desserts and coffee drinks. The book trade, afternoon cinema show (4 p.m.) and the end of evening happy hour (9.30 - 10.30 p.m.) make this a place not to be missed.

Traveler Reviews of Casa Hood

Arrogance...

Rating: 0%

The employees are very friendly and professional, but the owner is very arrogant and not wellcoming at all. I've been there once and will never go back. Sad, because the place itself is nice.

The best in Baños

Great spot that I wish we'd found sooner. It's off the main drag a couple of blocks, but the atmosphere is great. There is lots of character and a great book collection, not to mention killer food.

This is just a great place to chill out. Drink some of their great teas, their food is very tasty, spicy. Just great.
