The whole experience was amazing. I opted for the tasting menu with pairing drinks and it was the best decision I’ve made. The food was superb, with an amazing combination of local and Mexican flavours. The drinks were matched very well, with Mexican wines, mezcal and even a sake. The cocktails were also excellent. The service was also top-notch, with personalised attention and very knowledgeable staff. Definitely an experience not to be missed.

About the restaurant

A cargo del chef Luis Pabón y la sommelier Gabriela Moreno, la experiencia gastronómica —que hace eco de la rúbrica de hospitalidad contemplativa deL Hotel Casa TO—, se inspira en un cuidadoso diálogo entre las preparaciones y sus maridajes, donde los fogones y la cava son los medios por los cuales sus anfitriones consienten a los comensales.

Para la cena se han concebido dos menús: uno a la carta y otro para degustar en siete tiempos, maridado con vinos y mezcal.

Las recetas creadas por Pabón rinden un homenaje a la cocina de temporada, brindando protagonismo a la frescura de los productos y sus distintos matices: dulces, ácidos y picantes, enfatizados por el dominio de distintas técnicas de preparación.

Moreno, a su vez, apareja el menú con una selección de vinos Pét Nats, orgánicos, blancos ligeros, naranjas y tintos suaves con bajo contenido de alcohol, también conocidos como vinos glou glou –frescos, jóvenes y divertidos.

Glou Glou was such a wonderful experience for my partner’s birthday. They even gave us a slice of tort with a candle. The sauce chef is *chef’s kiss* exceptional. Some of the best sauces I’ve ever had - throughout the meal. The service is generally good. I do feel as though, compared with other high end restaurants I have dined at, there needs to be more cohesion between kitchen and front of house. Definitely a bit of chaos for clients to see, and with not that many covers. Food great, wine great, generally very expensive (globally, not in Mexico). And I do think that (birthday kindness aside!) generosity isn’t GlouGlou’s thing. A wonderful treat for a special occasion.

About the restaurant

Criollo is located in a neighborhood adjacent to the center of the city of Oaxaca.
Chef Luis Arellano is a cook with a spirit that is both attached to his roots and creative and evolutionary.
He builds the menu adapting to the local products available and the seasons, inspired by the different techniques of Oaxacan cuisine, making nods to the coast, the valleys, the mountains and the Istmo of the state of Oaxaca.

About the restaurant

Aquí, un ritmo animado acompaña la transparencia de luz que hace vibrar los colores. La sutileza de lo esencial subraya el poder evocador de los olores y sabores que surgen de la cocina de Alejandro Ruiz.

Se mezclan los aromas y los sabores de hierbas mediterráneas con las oaxaqueñas. Así, la albahaca y el romero comparten sus tintes con la hoja santa, la pitiona y el shorobobo. Asimismo, granada, pescados y mariscos, venado y cordero alternan con chapulines, huitlacoche y quesillo.

Cinco sentidos influenciados por una extraordinaria vivencia gastronómica.

Casa Oaxaca is one of the top restaurants in Oaxaca de Juárez (Oaxaca City). The menu is unusually spectacular, the top level is open to the sky with a view of Santo Domingo cathedral. There are several waiters per table, so food arrives timely and no finished plate sits very long on the table. I highly recommend Casa Oaxaca.

About the restaurant

Restaurante Catedral brings local, regional and international dishes together to offer a truly unique menu. Start your day off with a breakfast of Teotitlan Del Valle Style eggs or the Socorrido, which is a pork rind casserole with sausage, egg and cheese served in a red sauce with Water Chiles stripes. Restaurante Catedral is the perfect place for a date night. Come enjoy the house specialty of homemade ravioli with Hierba santa that is filled with suckling pork and topped with grated cheese. Restaurante Catedral also serves meat and seafood dishes, like the roasted beef tenderloin, grilled octopus and fried mullet.
