Siam
Siam cooks up delicious Thai food, and, while the portions are bit small, it's a nice break for those fed up with Ecuadorian food.

Su Cebiche
This slick little lunchtime joint serves excellent coastal specialties. Try the sopa marinera, a delicious mixed-seafood soup, or one of seven types of ceviches.

Texas Ranch

Theatrum
On the 2nd floor of the historic Teatro Sucre, creatively concocted and extravagantly presented prix-fixe meals are served to a well-heeled crowd before the show downstairs. It's one of the city's most elegant dining rooms.

Tianguez
Tucked into the stone arches beneath the Monastery of San Francisco, Tianguez is one of the city's most perfectly situated cafes. Tables on the plaza are ideal for an evening canelazo (Ecuador's favorite hot alcoholic drink - aguardiente livened up with a dose of hot, fresh fruit cider) or an afternoon te de coca (coca leaf tea).
-
Trattoria Sole e Luna
This is an excellent restaurant with a delightful nouveau-Italian atmosphere and friendly service. It's great for lunch, and the risotto is tops.

Varadero
Owned by the same folks as La Bodeguita, Varadero serves Cuban sandwiches and light meals and has live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights.
-
Zócalo
Zócalo is a popular restaurant-cum-bar with a prime, 2nd-floor location right in the hub of the Mariscal Sucre - hence its popularity. The atmosphere is fun, and the food (snacks, Mexican-style dishes etc) is decent.
