Listed #2 in Cuenca restuarants by Tripadvisor, but we consider it #1 in our book. A short taxi drive up the hill from downtown. Giovanni always prepares the food beautifully and it is fun to see his latest re-purposed creations. The first time we were there, Giovanni was moving a neighbors. cow to a new grazing location. The second time the neighborhood llama was staked out for grazing. We missed the animals on the third visit. If you get lost finding it, he will send his son down to the main road (a couple of blocks) to guide you.
