Embracing French Heritage in Quito
Established in 1958 by René Elie, Cyrano stands as a beacon of authentic flavors of France in the heart of Quito. René, motivated by his rich French heritage, aimed to bring traditional French recipes and baking techniques to the people of Ecuador. This endeavor not only satisfied the local palate but also introduced a genuine taste of France that has delighted customers for decades.
The Evolution of a Family Tradition
Over three decades since its inception, the legacy of Cyrano was further enriched when Dany and Christian Elie returned from California to continue the family’s baking tradition by founding Corfu. This expansion underscored the Elie family’s dedication to preserving the art of French baking. With a history spanning over 300 years, their commitment to quality and excellence is evident in every pastry and loaf produced.
A Commitment to Quality and Responsibility
Today, Cyrano boasts a team of expert bakers with over a decade of experience, dedicated to crafting high-quality traditional French baked goods. Their passion and craftsmanship have contributed to the growth of the company, which now proudly operates 17 outlets across Quito. Emphasizing social responsibility alongside culinary excellence, Cyrano is not just a bakery; it is a staple in the community, continuing to share the authentic tastes of France with each delicious bite.
