Jamie L

"...One moment we were tasting highland comfort food, then something from the coast, then flavors tied to the Amazon. The drinks changed along with the dishes — hot, cold, fruity, herbal. It made me realize how much variety fits inside a relatively small country. If you don’t have time to see all of Ecuador, this at least lets you taste how diverse it is."

This felt like traveling through the whole country without leaving the table....
