Situated behind Acapulco beach in Rio we found this restaurant after looking at Trip Advisors reviews of Rio restaurants. The review was correct, an excellent find. A small dining room with attentive staff, wonderful food and menus on an Ipad. About £100 for 2 diners which included a good bottle of wine, we found that we enjoyed ourselves very much... More

I can not say enough good things about this restaurant. We arrived without reservations and they were able to squeeze us in. The wine list is very nice and we were able to find a reasonably priced wine that I like. If you are a foodie, this menu will impress you. I hade the Waygu beef tartare with white truffle... More

The same quality (5 stars) restaurant in the USA would cost 3x what I paid at Zazu. Excellent fish dishes... best I have had in Quito.. Very Good service, but really it is about he food. Find time to experience this place ... reservations highly recommended. Located a few blocks from the JW Marriott.

One of the best meals we had in Quito. Everything was delicious, but the seafood ceviche was the best I ever tasted. I wish I could have gotten it as a main course. The service was impeccable. I would have returned again if I had the time. The restaurant is on a small block in a fairly deserted area, so... More

Zazu is a great restaurant by any standard. We enjoy good food and I always remember the five or ten we have most enjoyed. Zazu is now on that list. They have a great menu, delicious ceviche, creative mains - I loved the prawns and red curry, as tasty the last bite as the first and good wine pairings. Service... More

An amazing restaurant with incredible food and great service. So good we went back twice. The sea bass was amazing, as was the octopus, the wagyu beef, the sashimi... all delicious. Great wine list as well. A pricey night out, but if you are going to spoil yourself, this is the place to do it!

Although we had a number of enjoyable meals in our recent trip to a number of areas in Ecuador, Zazu stood out as the premier restaurant. My wife ordered off the regular menu while I had the 7-course meal. Each course was better than the prior one. The cost of our meal might have been expensive by Ecuadorian standards, but... More

This is an excellent choice if you want to have a nice dinner in Quito. The restaurant is beautiful and the service is great. My husband had the tasting menu and I had the sea bass, and we would recommend both. A great choice if you like seafood. It is a bit expensive if you also order wine with dinner... More

Very good restaurant with singular seafood plates that differ from the comum food you use to find in the most of places. The service is helpful and the price is fair.
