Everything about Zazu was perfection. Presentation spectacular. The food: amazing. Our waiter Diego was the pinnacle of hospitality. Meeting the chef, icing on the cake. We did the 7 course tasting with the wine pairing. We enjoyed every moment and every bite!

We were visiting Quito on the way to Galapagos and the food was amazing. They worked with my sons allergies. The stone crab appetizer was one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had. Luckily we all ordered different appetizers and main courses. We are planning on going back before we leave. Highly recommend it.
