Z-Food

Quito, Ecuador

Part fish shop, part restaurant, Z-Food is all about sustainable, responsible fishery and fair trade. Visit the counter to buy the freshest catch of the day or sit down to enjoy an extensive menu of ceviches, seafood starters and fish mains. Highlights include a creamy Ecuadorian coconut rice with seafood aplenty and parmesan cheese, the salmon poke bowl with prawn and octopus, and the whole fish of the day, either grilled, oven‑cooked or fried, with roasted vegetables in balsamic vinegar, confit local potatoes with mushrooms, quinoa tabbouleh or rice. Ceviches are made at the table with a choice of fish, prawn, octopus or mixed seafood and several options, including peanut, prawn stock and cilantro, while vegetarian options range from oyster mushrooms to avocado and palm of heart ceviche. There's a wonderful outdoor seating area as well as the nautical-white interior, and drinks include refreshing Bloody Marys and a great selection of wines.
