Plaza Foch

The intersection of Mariscal Foch and Reina Victoria streets used to be a quiet plaza with a few restaurants and one or two bars, but over the past several years Plaza Foch has become the place to hang out and be seen by Ecuadorians and travelers alike.

Smack in the center of La Mariscal, this square is host to dozens of bars, cafés, and restaurants, and is steps away from the hottest night clubs. It's rocking nearly every night of the week and packed with hundreds of party-goers on the weekends.

In addition to a offering a lively and late night hangout, the locale sometimes has weekend artisan markets, outdoor music performances, and is a popular place for an afternoon café con leche.
