I can think of two other restaurants in Quito that have traditionally done Thanksgiving dinners: Adam's Rib, the corner of Reina Victoria and Pinto, en La Mariscal The Magic Bean, the corner of Foch and Juan Leon Mera, La Mariscal I've had Thanksgiving dinners in both places (not on the same day, mind you!) and can say that both dinners are quite good. I'm in Nairobi at the moment, so I don't know what this year's prices will be...
