Tropic Adds Cooking Classes at Zazu to Quito Campaign

Ecuador's leading purveyor of extraordinary experiences, Tropic, is passionate about sharing the stories and products of Quito's finest artisanal workshops - and now culinary stars.

"May We Introduce You" is a campaign of award-winning ecotourism company Tropic that creates unique memories through visits to the country's finest boot maker and chocolatier. And now guests can engage in a gourmet cooking class at the Relais & Chateau-designated Zazu Restaurante as the centerpieces of Quito tours, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

"Tropic has its finger on the pulse of what we consider the crème de la crème of experiences in Quito and beyond," Says Jascivan Carvalho, President. "For an establishment to make it onto our elite and privileged "May We Introduce You" list is a commitment that owners of these select companies make to provide Tropic guests VIP status through special tours and amenities."

The third addition to the list is Zazu Restaurante, considered to be the finest restaurant not only in Quito but in all of Ecuador. Tropic's guests may engage in a private cooking class that concludes with drinks, appetizers and the company of one of Zazu's accomplished Master Chefs.

This will be the first gourmet Relais & Chateau cooking class to be offered in Ecuador. Tropic's clients enjoy a private dinning and kitchen area for an intimate interaction and exchange with the chef. The cost is $100 per person for the two hour experience.

Zazu Restaurant emphasizes fresh and locally sourced ingredients served in the subdued elegance of a grey and white décor. Since opening in 2007, its contemporary Latin menu is regularly updated. Guests may learn how to prepare - and then sample -- among others, Ecuadorian-style ceviches, yellow potato gnocchi with truffles, and Pangora (stone crab) and avocado salad seasoned with lemon foam.
