Mea Culpa

Mea Culpa prides itself on being 'the most exclusive place in Quito', with a strict dress
code, reservation-only policy and prime real estate in the Archbishop's Palace. The 200
year-old building that once housed monks is now frequented for romantic meals and busi-
ness meeting of Quito's elite, but the food surpasses its ambience. Try the flaming
gelato
crepes and you'll see what I mean.
Accommodations

Blue House Hostel

With psychedelic murals painted over every available surface, a traveler-run bar and fun
backpacking atmosphere, Blue House is a no-brainer for budget travelers. Dormitory and
private rooms are clean, affordable and full of people from around the world, and most
come to socialize. Due to its popularity it may be difficult to book a bed, and that's why
the P'tite Blue House was created (José Calama and 6 de Diciembre).
