Zero Lab Restaurant - Fine Dining

Tradition elevated to haute cuisine.

Our Ecuadorian green plantain patacones, fried in pork lard following ancestral technique, achieve the perfect balance between crispness and tenderness.
They are delicately paired with artisanal mustard and banana vinegar, accompanied by fresh ceviche, tropical mango, premium tuna, and the subtle aroma of traditional sal prieta.

A contemporary interpretation of authentic Ecuadorian cuisine — inspired by criollo flavors and the living culinary memory of our people.

An opening course that honors the land, respects tradition, and celebrates Ecuador’s gastronomic heritage.

We invite you to experience cuisine that transcends the plate. 🔥

No son visitas, son parte del estándar que nos inspira a mantener el nivel alto. Gracias por confiar, por elegir calidad y por hacer de este espacio algo verdaderamente exclusivo. 🤍

Pacific Corvina — Tradition & Tropical Breeze

Fresh catch of the day from the Ecuadorian Pacific:
silky-textured corvina, precisely cooked, served with creamy Scottish-style potatoes and a delicate criolla mustard sauce.

A light pickled garnish adds brightness,
white shrimp gently finished with subtle passion fruit notes,
and a pasture-raised poached egg providing natural richness.

Crispy green plantain patacones complete the experience —
a dialogue between coast and highlands that honors Ecuadorian culinary heritage.

Served at Quito’s landmark restaurant, where authentic Ecuadorian cuisine is respected, traditions are preserved, and local ingredients are celebrated.

Reserve your table today and experience Ecuador through flavor — limited seating available nightly.

Slow-cooked pork belly,
with blistered, crackling skin kissed by fire,
resting over a creamy purée of Andean ocas and mashuas.

It is accompanied by a fresh, lightly smoked chimichurri,
perfumed with páramo arrayán —
an ancient aroma that recalls wood-fired kitchens, hacienda courtyards,
and the generous tables of old Quito.

A dish that revives countryside tradition,
where time cooked without haste
and the land spoke in every bite.

We await you at the emblematic restaurant of Ecuadorian cuisine,
your home in the city.

Do not miss the experience.

We believe in Ecuadorian cuisine the way one believes in memory:
with respect, with patience, and with slow fire.

A mote stew that breathes tradition,
paired with wood-fire confit pork belly,
golden like the afternoons of the hacienda.
Freshness awakens with the classic curtido
bathed in sour orange,
a perfect balance between countryside and breeze.

Alli shamushka kanki — welcome —
because here the table doesn’t only nourish, it embraces.

And to close the ritual,
a well-chilled chicha,
like the exact pause after a good memory.

In the finest Ecuadorian cuisine restaurant in Quito,
your home awaits: the table is set, the fire is lit,
and the memory of a country is turned into flavor.

HE ROMANTIC SECRET WEEKEND

A clandestine celebration of love, roses & chocolate

Amar también es cubrirse los ojos.
Sentir primero, nombrar después.
Rosas andinas que perfuman la piel, chocolate oscuro que derrite la boca, champagne frío que confiesa lo que la voz no dice.
Un fin de semana para desaparecer juntos, para celebrar el deseo con elegancia Fine Dining Lovers y para brindar en secreto entre aromas, texturas y complicidad.
La experiencia inicia el viernes a las 12:00, cuando la ciudad no sospecha nada y ustedes ya están dentro del ritual.

Viernes 13 & Sábado 14 de febrero — Quito, Centro del Mundo

Reserva. Lo demás no se cuenta.
