On October 1st I turned 61. My first birthday in Ecuador!
Nieve took me out to one of our favourite (and expensive restaurants) "Zircus". She must have called ahead because when we arrived the table was encircled with rose petals.
We didn't order anything. She knew what I liked and had pre-ordered it: Steak and Langostina along with quite a number of side-dishes, plus one of our favourite wines: Trapiche Malbec.
Zircus is a fairly new restaurant in Cuenca. It is attached to a new hotel which is located next to the Estadio Alejandro Serrano Aguilar near Ave de Solano.
The least expensive nightly cost in this hotel (according to their website) is $103.70 USD (including tax). The rooms are quite spartan looking as is the restaurant (i.e., if you are looking for a cozy place you might consider an alternative).
In previous visits to this restaurant it has typically cost us $45 for the two of us which has included a glass of wine with our meal. This is one of the most expensive meals I have had in Cuenca.
Upon our return to the house we were greeted by her youngest son (Xavier) and his wife (Veronica) and in-laws who wished me a happy birthday.
A few days later, Xavier and his wife showed up with a very yummmy birthday cake.
