Caf\u00e9 Mosaico opened its doors in 2003, offering locals and tourists a caf\u00e9 with an extraordinarily breathtaking view of Quito that is simply unparalleled.<\/p>\n

Alexander and Lidia Karras opened the caf\u00e9 with a clear vision to elevate their food, service, and ambience to an unprecedented level that was nonexistent in Quito at that time.\u00a0 Born of Greek and Italian roots in New York City, the founders saw a dire need for a unique establishment with a blend of European and American styles.\u00a0 The Karrases wished for the atmosphere of a casual European caf\u00e9 where people can enjoy a simple conversation over a great cup of coffee, yet with the option to order a large New York style salad or sandwich.\u00a0 Incorporating their roots, the founders additionally desired to serve flavorful Greek food, which at the time, was unavailable in all of Ecuador.\u00a0 Before opening, few believed that the caf\u00e9 would attract many visitors given how new establishments with unique concepts seldom have easy beginnings. \u00a0Despite such obstacles however, after being open for a mere four months, Caf\u00e9 Mosaico was already having to turn away customers due to the overflow of people that wished to eat at the establishment.\u00a0 And just as a caf\u00e9 should be, it became, and to this day remains: \u201cthe place to see and be seen\u201d.\u00a0 With nearly one million visitors to date, Caf\u00e9 Mosaico remains committed to being an integral part of the Ecuadorian experience, a must-see for all tourists and locals alike.<\/p>\n
