Restaurante Theatrum
ECUADOR
Over what used to be know as “Plaza de las Carnicerías” in Quito’s old quarters, this square also doubled as a bull fighting ring. The Teatro Nacional Sucre, one of south america’s oldest opera house and a jewel of renaissance classicism, hosts Quito`s most important and avant garde restaurant.
This iconic restaurant reveals to us one of its stars, the “Tagliatelle al seco de chivo”.
