Turtle's Head

Location:
La Niña 626 y Amazonas
La Mariscal, Quito, Ecuador

Restaurant, Bar

V!VA User‘s Description

An excellent Scottish-owned pub in Quito's Mariscal district and the only spot in Quito to get home-brewed beer.  Three varieties of micro-brewed beers are for sale from the on-site brewery.  The Turtle's Head also has great hamburgers and snacks along with pool, darts, fuse-ball and occasionally, live music. The pub is very British in look and feel, enhanced by cartoon strips from the adult comic Viz, that are displayed on the walls and in the toilets.

Price Description: Price for food and drink for one person: $5-8

Great beers

Rating: 100%

This place was great. The Turtles Head have their own microbrewery. Normally I like pilsner type beers, but this pub has a red-ish coloured beer that is really tasty. Great onion rings too, and lots of fun playing darts, fuseball and reading the Viz magazines that are framed on the wall around the place.

Besides the delicious food, the fabolous beer, I fell in love with Ana, a new waitress.

A Great British Pub!!

Rating: 100%

It has been a couple of years since I frequented La cabeza de tortuga, but while I was in Quito there was no better bar. The staff were very friendly, as were most of the regular drinkers. The pool table was great, though a little pricey, (take some english 20p's though and its a bargain), the food was good quality, and the choice of beer was the best around. Drinks and food were a little expensive, but you pay for quality i'm afraid.
