Zazú - Restaurant Quito - Ecuador

Offering a modern interpretation of Peruvian cuisine, this stylish restaurant is filled nightly with diplomats, oil expats and Quiteño high society. Stand out appetizers include thinly sliced octopus served with a creamy olive dip, and crispy mushroom and artichoke "empanadas" encased in wonton-style wrappers. There are plenty of main dishes to choose from for meat eaters, including tender New Zealand lamb chops, but the house specialty is seafood. The unusual combination of tuna in a spicy pineapple sauce is spectacular. Accompany your meal with a perfectly made pisco sour or a bottle of wine ($16-400). Service is attentive and you may even be lucky to get a visit from the chef himself. Call ahead to reserve if you want to be sure to find a seat at one of the 10 or so tables.
