Why Travelers Love ORIGEN ROOFTOP
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Such a beautiful rooftop! Really great views of all of centro histórico. Bring spf, there are umbrellas but the sun is quite strong. Amazing views of the city center and Quito. I will be coming back, but this time at night! Excellent food and drinks, service is still slow, could be better, there's no music, I hope they'll add it soon. I've been there a few times and that's the only thing I think is missing. The prices are still good, not too exaggerated. The place is very pretty, the view is incredible. I love it. It's one of my favorite places to watch the sunset or have a get-together with friends or family. 🫶🏼 I loved the michelada ❤️

A very nice place located in the center of Quito. The visit is wonderful. One recommendation I would make is to have a host so that when you go up to the terrace and there's no availability, he can help you manage. I say this because it happened to us, and we had to wait until a table became available. During the time we were there, many more people came up hoping to find tables. The waiter who served us tried to help us at all times, and he had to do everything himself. I think they could use someone to help them manage these types of situations so that the people who go up have a great time. The food is very good, and the lemonades are next level. I ordered a mandarin lemonade, and it was insane. Let's hope they can improve that aspect; hence the 10/10 location and service.

I went with my family and it took them about 30 minutes to serve me and take my order. The place is beautiful but if you are short on time I do not recommend it. I saw many people leave upset because of the slow service. I saw that they were given a sweet potato courtesy and they never gave it to me and that was during the week. For the price, the food should be a little better than what I showed, it cost 30.
