Quito’s Nuema Restaurant Named in Top 100 Restaurants in the World

Conde Nast Traveler has named its top 100 restaurants in the world, and Nuema in Quito is number 61. It’s nestled in the Illa Experience Hotel & Spa, and I had the extraordinary opportunity to experience this restaurant firsthand.

Run by Chef Alejandro Chamorro and his Pastry Chef wife, Piedad Salazar, the restaurant raises its own fresh Ecuadorian herbs and other produce for farm-to-table dining.

An old city with both new and historical architecture, Liverpool is big enough to give you plenty to do but small enough that you don’t have to endure London-like congestion.
