MEET CHEF NOÉ

Born in the rural town of Loja, Ecuador, Noé is the eldest of 10 siblings and grew up in a home rooted in love, humility, and hard work. With a family that depended on farming and the rhythm of the seasons, he began working in the fields at a young age, later selling ice cream on buses and helping in small restaurants to support his household.


Despite walking hours to attend school, Noé was always driven by a hunger to learn. One day, his teacher showed the class a map of Ecuador, and as he looked at Quito in the distance, a dream was born — to go beyond the borders of his small town and build something bigger.


At 8, he began cooking rice for his family, and by 12, he was waiting tables during school breaks. It was there he discovered his true passion: the kitchen. Over time, he trained himself in Ecuadorian, French, and Italian cuisines, developing a culinary voice that blends global inspiration with deep cultural roots.


Today, Chef Noé brings that story to every dish at Noe Sushi Bar, where tradition, innovation, and heart come together on every plate.
