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.

    My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner on the rooftop. Gorgeous setting next to the main temple! We ordered mezcal cocktails, the tomato and burrata salad, the quesadilla, and the short rib entrée. Everything was delicious and without a single flaw. They surprised us by mixing up a fresh salsa in a molcajete at the table. Got to try fried grasshoppers -a salty ingredient in the salsa if you prefer. Do not miss this opportunity when in Oaxaca!

    Food took toooooo long to be served , Confusion with our order , we were planing to have a great evening for our 40th anniversary and tuned to be a bad experience.. More name of restaurant than a real experience At the roof top we were seated next to a table with a lot of kids being noisy and no romantic at all

    For all the hype, this place was a little disappointing. The food was very good but not spectacular. Salsa made fresh tableside was fun! The setting is beautiful, and we were glad we experienced it.

    Noise level was high from parade and firecrackers in Santo Domingo Square, which just added to the ambience. Food was incredible, especially squash blossoms which I could eat every day. Turkey in black mole also great and portion was large- I took half home. Cold in the terrace and they didn’t turn on heaters although I requested it twice. Generally highly recommend!
