Valentine’s Day in Ecuador: celebrating love like at home
In Ecuador, Valentine’s Day is not only about couples. It is a celebration of love, friendship
and togetherness, known as “Día del Amor y la Amistad”.
It’s common for friends of all ages to give handmade cards, make calls, and exchange small
meaningful gifts with special friends and loved ones.
Love shared at the table
Food is always the heart of these meaningful moments in Ecuador. It is not just about what is
served, but who you share it with. It is a time for warmth, intimacy and being deeply
connected to those sharing moments with you around the table. Cooking, sitting together
and taking time to enjoy the meal is one of the most genuine ways to express love.
Celebrating far from Ecuador, without leaving it behind
Living in London, special dates like Valentine’s Day often bring a sense of nostalgia.
Memories of home, familiar flavours and the comfort of feeling you belong.
El Inca Plebeyo was born from that feeling. From tradition, home and roots, with a touch of
innovation. Our goal is for every guest to feel as if they have stepped into an Ecuadorian
home.
