Quito is a fairly cheap place to live, but things can still get out of hand if you don't watch your spending. As far as eating goes, I tend to imitate the locals. I eat fruit and yogurt for breakast, a sizeable lunch around 1:00, then I'll just snack in the evenings.
Attached are pics of daily menus at various restaurants. A three- or four-course lunch (almuerzo in Spanish) costs anywhere between $1.50-$4.50. A typical lunch always includes a soup, a main course, a dessert and a natural fruit juice. My favorite restaurant is a vegeterian restaurant called El Maple. They seem to put a lot of thought in their dishes. I usually go to El Maple when I want to treat myself and splurge for lunch at a whopping $4.50 for four courses.
