About Cutana
Cutana is the culinary brainchild of Chef Arturo, a seasoned Ecuadorian chef with over 20 years of experience in the art of cooking. At Cutana, we bring together the vibrant flavours of Ecuador with the refined techniques of European cuisine to create an unforgettable dining experience.
Chef Arturo’s journey began in the bustling markets of Ecuador, where he learned to cook alongside his grandmother, a skilled and passionate cook who operated a market stall. Over the years, his expertise evolved as he worked at renowned establishments across Spain and London, including Michelin-starred restaurants and Bib Gourmand-awarded venues. Now, Chef Arturo has taken his passion and expertise to create his own brand, blending the soul of Ecuador with the sophistication of Europe.

Our Vision
At Cutana, we are more than just a dining experience. We are a celebration of family, heritage, and innovation. Chef Arturo’s family plays a vital role in shaping the essence of Cutana. His wife, Yngrid, a wine enthusiast who loves music, curates wine pairings that perfectly complement our dishes. Their children, Arturo and Alejandro, inspire the creativity and love that goes into every plate. David’s passion for baking and Alejandro’s love for football add unique flavours of inspiration to our story.
Our goal is to share the warmth and joy of Ecuadorian culture while embracing the modern culinary world.
Our Food
Our menu is a harmonious fusion of Ecuadorian and European flavours, crafted to delight your senses. Each dish is prepared using the freshest ingredients, with many sourced directly from local farmers and markets, just as Chef Arturo’s parents once did with their fresh produce business.

- Cutana’s Burger
- Plantain Melt
- Dulce de leche
