Chimborazo Restaurant… amazing food, great value, awesome brunch

chimborazo1

A few weeks ago we were looking for a place for brunch with friends on a Sunday morning. When Beata recommended Chimborazo it struck a memory… I had lunch there a number of years ago  but not brunch. Reviews were awesome… we decided to give it a go and were not disappointed.

They have both an outdoor patio and inside dining, but there was no wait for inside dining so we chose to eat in the simple, cheery dining room decorated with items from Ecuador and the Andes. The food was delicious, but what impressed us even more was the generous servings at very reasonable prices!

In the words of the restaurant itself,

“At Chimborazo our desire is to introduce our guests to the traditional cuisines of Ecuador and the Andean Highlands. We serve hearty dishes familiar to Ecuadorian family tables.

Marcos Pinguil, the owner and chef of Chimborazo, came to Minneapolis from the Cañar Sierra via the tropical coast where, from a young age, he learned to prepare dishes from
Ecuador’s varied regions.

In local indigenous lore, Chimborazo volcano represents Taita (Father), while the neighboring volcano represents Tungurahua (Mama). Otavaleño textiles and traditional Quichua
music bring the spirit of the Andean Highlands to your dining experience.”
