Fanesca in Quito

It seems like every restaurant has fanesca right now.  Why not try several?  IŽve tried a couple. One was at a more or less fast food restaurant near Ramón Roca and Seis de Diciembre and it was pretty good. It was a little strong on the peanut flavor. I think the restaurant was called Menestra Negra.   I had another one on Eduardo Salazar, between Diego Noboa and Juan de Dios and it was even better.  It came with the figs and cheese dessert as well.  I donŽt remember the name but the restaurant was on the second floor and the first floor was the typical tienda with snacks and drinks. If you donŽt like strong salty fish flavor, ask for it without fish or on the side.  I probably wonŽt try anymore this year.  6-10 dollars a bowl is way too expensive for me.  IŽll stick to 2 dollar almuerzos.
