    Delicious food and an attentive staff made this a wonderful dinner. For appetizers we had the octopus and the pork taquitos. Both were great and the octopus was perfectly cooked. For dinner we had the sea bass and the grupo. Again, both were perfectly cooked. The restaurant feels high end but everyone is welcomed in their casual clothes. A great experience.

    Zazu was a wonderful dining experience, my wife and I felt as though we were on a date! The ambiance was elegant, sophisticated and well designed. The menu was interesting and featured an Ecuadorian influence, both historic and modern and our dishes were delicious. The attention received from Zazu's staff was excellent and refined. The wine list ranges from the most sophisticated to local Ecuadorian wines. For all the above, Zazu was very reasonably priced! Zazu is not to be missed when in Quito Carlo Zaskorski, architect.

    Everything from amuse bouche to dessert was excellent. They were accommodating to a guest with food allergies and the prices were half what they would be in the US.

    Was expecting more. I did the tasting menu and wife got a few a la carte items. Staff was nice enough. Food was good, but overall it feels overpriced. Lots of foreigners (unsurprisingly). I wouldn’t go back. Not much character inside / pretty sterile decor. Drinks weren’t interesting - just traditional cocktails and wine.
    Zazu QuitoResponded on January 10, 2025
    Dear Jesús, We sincerely apologize that your recent dining experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide exceptional cuisine and ambiance, and it's clear we fell short during your visit. We take your feedback seriously and are committed to addressing the concerns you've raised. Our goal is to offer a memorable dining experience for all our guests, and we regret that we did not achieve this for you. We hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity to serve you and provide the exceptional experience we aim to deliver.
