Where Can I Meet-Up with Other Expats in Cuenca Ecuador?

Ask Frank and Angie: We are visiting Cuenca soon and would like to meet other expats in some group settings. Know of any regular meetings or places that are frequented?

We did some research and found several places in Cuenca where you can meet with other expats. We had to do the online research because we rarely frequent the expat restaurants, although, there are a couple places we list that we have gone to because the food is good and prices are fair and we also list a few in our free restaurant Guide. 



We enjoy bringing business to the local community of restaurants as well, and so if you haven’t already seen it, we do list several tried and true Ecuadorian traditional almuerzos and a few not so traditional, in our FREE Cuenca Restaurant Guide 16 Good, Inexpensive Restaurants in Cuenca Ecuador! (Third Edition)
