(Google translation) In January 2020, we had the pleasure of eating in Mikuna Upina. He loved us! I have been in Tena several times for work, and this is one of the most interesting and charming restaurants in the city. The food is inspired by the coast of Ecuador (where one of the co-owners grew), but also has a sense of fusion with an interesting variety of dishes. In fact, we had trouble deciding what to ask because everything sounded great, and I knew even better! The highlights of Mikuna Upina 1) The food. The menu is very well thought out. It was fun to read and hear about the dishes, and the flavors were delicious and exciting! 2) The environment. The restaurant has an outdoor and relaxed atmosphere that is also romantic. When we visited, a young couple was dating. 3) The view. Mikuna Upina is located on several levels of a building overlooking the river, the bridges and the center of Tena. It's a fantastic view and you can see the pedestrians go and come along the bridge. 4) Sustainability. The restaurant was opened by two people working at the local university, which is an institution focused on science and natural resources. The owners thought a lot about making their restaurant sustainable. They used scrap and recycled materials for furniture and decorations, and incorporated local native plants to make a 'living wall'. Be sure to ask more about sustainability: this is an impressive and very attentive approach by the owners. In general, I recommend Mikuna Upina. I can't wait to visit Tena again! Stunning restaurant, excellent food, attentive owners who pride themselves on their establishment and the meals they serve. (Original) In January 2020, we had the pleasure of eating at Mikuna Upina.
