The 16 Best Restaurants In Oaxaca

"You can tell by the line of people waiting outside Boulenc that something good is happening inside. This bakery and café serves croissants, pain au chocolat, and almond croissants, and more recently started doing Mexican staples like conchas and pan de muerto in the weeks leading up to Día de los Muertos. The cafe is located in a pleasant courtyard, and serves shakshuka, stacks of pancakes with homemade jams, and pastries from next door. It’s great for breakfast, but it’s also worth checking out at lunch when they do pizzas out of a wood-burning, salads, and sandwiches." - liliana lopez, kylie han

"This chic cafe has a little bit of everything: third-wave coffee; incredible pastries; house-made jams, pickles, and other preserves; plus sourdough pizzas, fancy toasts, and an array of bready delights made by the head baker and co-founder, Juan Pablo Hernandez. Breakfast and brunch should start with a croissant or concha, but can be rounded out by rich shakshuka or a pile of waffles. Lunch is for pizza, salads, and sandwiches. The mood here is relaxed, and the casual, airy space includes a cozy bar in back. The Boulenc team also operates a small adjacent hotel called Bed and Bread, as well as a shop, Succulenta, where you can take home many of the pantry goodies you enjoyed at the restaurant.

Visited last year, and was just going through my photos and this place I had to write a review! The food was flavoured, quality and clean. The aesthetic of the restaurant was natural and quirky. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting.

Super lovely place for yummy but fairly priced food in Oaxaca. We loved it here. We had the fruit salad and french toast. Both wonderful. The staff were great too. We’ll be back for dinner! ☺️

This was a recommendation from a friend and I'm so glad I went! I only waited 5 minutes for a table, on a Sunday morning, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The croissant was delicious, and the avocado toast was probably one of the best I've ever had. It definitely caters to tourists more than locals, but it doesn't feel pretentious and the prices remain reasonable.

This was my breakfast and lace in Oaxaca. I’m all for quality food, being Italian, and this place met my standards!! Great fruit and granola bowl in the morning, but also great salads, avocado toasts end bakery made with sourdough. Great atmosphere too. I highly recommend it!

I’ve visited the Boulenc in Barrio Jalatlaco and was excited to check out this location too — and it did not disappoint. Both spots are outstanding, but this one has its own unique charm with open-air, two-level seating and a fully stocked bar area. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for any time of day. Breakfast was delicious, and after 2pm, their wood-fired pizzas take things to the next level. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

Very nice atmosphere close to the bakery place. The roof opens up on sunny days to have natural light. Very nice!od iendly and approachable staff Good selection of food Panini are exceptional especially the salami one. Kefir is also tasty and super natural! All ingredients seemed fresh and well selected

Oooh, where to begin ? wooow, I over ate just it was incredible. First, there was no sign to see the restaurant. It was 100 m from my hostel and was recommended by the reception. Atmosphere: You enter into another dimension an open roof, and on the sides, a high roof full of greenery sculptures and art installations, the decore is so harmonious and alive . Staff: very neat, not so young people you feel that they are working with passion always having an eye on you smiling and friendly. Food : I ordered a lamb hamburger it came with 3 sauces and pickle along side potato chips , the best quality ingredients I've seen so far in Oaxaca city, very on point burger no extra sauces or ingredients, all is perfectly balanced with taste and texture. I asked to see when do they close to see if I come back at night , they close at 10h30 so I couldn't wait , I ordered a wooden oven mushroom pizza with spinach 2 types of cheese one local one aged purple onions garlic butter ,,, I can't remember specifically but I ended up eating a full pizza on top the burger.. They have sourdough and sweets , can't wait for the night to go back for dessert. And ohhh while goin to the toilet I was surprised to see people hanging outside , having drinks,, it's a wc and bar at the same time , I really loved this ingenious idea . You won a 5 stars and my heart ❤️

Really lovely cafe/restaurant located in a great spot. The inside is lovely and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Would recommend the mushroom sandwich and the 3 cheese sandwich (very cheesy obviously). Sandwiches priced between $135 - $150 and taste fresh! The drinks were lovely, and they give you free water!

This is a hip Oaxaca establishment. Everyone constantly recommends this place. We came here twice so far. The first time was for pastries and the second time for the sandwiches. Pastries: - All are so delicious!!! I really liked the croissants and pan dulce - Everything seemed fresh and constantly baked Sandwiches: - Super delicious - Banh mi (I believe it's vegetarian - mushroom based) - BLT (that bacon - more like pastrami - was soooo thick and good) - I was a big fan of the bread - When you order, you pick it up on the side (there will be a place to pick up your sandwich) The line here can be sometimes long (not sure why it gets long sometimes since my orders typically go quickly). I think it's from people being indecisive sometimes (rather than the staff). The staff is super quick You can pay by credit card too

Heard lot of good things about this place but the place didn't meet the expectations. I guess it might have been good at some point but the taste didn't keep up with increasing customers crowding this place. Long waiting, at least 40 mins around breakfast time. We had 2 chocolate milk, one cappuccino, shakshuka and ciabatta vegetarian sandwich. Service and ambiance were good but we had much better food at other places in Oaxaca. Chocolate milk at casa mayordomo was much better, cappuccino had only slight hints of espresso. Shakshuka is their own version not the standard one and tasted alright. And veggie sandwich was full of mushroom and cheese, there weren't other veggies in it really. Overall not worth the wait, you can find other good places in Oaxaca.

So many great things to say about Boulenc. If you're interested in having something a little different from Oaxacan cuisine, this is the place. Brunch and the pizzas are delicious! It's basically a restaurant that you can come and have breakfast or a cocktail. There's a mini bar in the back. Great service!

Dare I say a can't-miss spot in Oaxaca? Among a world class culinary landscape, Boulenc definitely stood out as a highlight. Shout out brother Omar and Miss Andrea for the recommendation. Adored the ambiance - high ceilings, unique, and thoughtful. Our coffees and juices could not have been better. The shakshouka and croque monsieur featuring their fresh sourdough were simply divine. And the almond chocolate croissant? Say less. Thank you, Boulenc.

This is a beautiful establishment with amazing pastries and breakfast. They also serve lunch and dinner here. I'm not sure how the lunch and dinner options are but the breakfast is amazing. My fiancé and I ordered the molletes and shakshuka. The molletes were just ok, not my favorite. But the shakshuka is a winner. Portion sizes were huge. Make sure to come early because there's always a wait but the line goes pretty fast. We came here on a Friday morning at 10AM and waited for 15 minutes. I will definitely be coming back here the next time in town. You won't regret it!

I fell in love with the aesthetics of this place; there are different rooms and the open-air concept is enticing. My friend and I ordered some brunch foods which weren't very "Mexican" but it fuses some American foods with traditional Mexican flavors which is perfect for those who appreciate fusion foods. The coffee here is my favorite; I would highly recommend the latte de dulce de leche frío for anyone who likes sweeter drinks. They also are so flexible here; they let me use their wifi, outlets, and I ended up staying here for 6 hours working on my laptop and drinking different coffees.

If you need a break from Oaxacan cuisine, then try this place for a wonderful sandwich. My wife had the tostada con jamón serrano and I had the banh mi. Sandwich menu looked very global/diverse - from the above to Reuben to monte cristo. Our sandwiches were great and the service was top notch. Also great background music! Whoever preps the playlist is a big-time blues fan, which was a touch of home for this Memphis guy.

A cool brunch spot in Oaxaca. Pictured is my wife's molletes with some of the thickest bacon pieces I've seen. My entree was a ham and cheese toast which was solid, but get the molletes if you can. I also ordered the melon and strawberry agua fresca, and that was easily one of the best drinks I've ever had. Server was nice and the place had cool art on the wall. Good vibes all around.

Ok, wasn't really expecting this, what a great find. Three parts to this lovely restaurant, the bakery, sundries, and coffee to go area and the restaurant located to the right of this. Baked goods and bread looked stellar, great sauces and items to take away, good coffee etc. Inside restaurant was casual and comfortable, staff efficient and nice, we didn't go upstairs.

I came here on three separate occasions and WOW WOW WOW. I wish i lived near there so i could go every day. At first i had the croissant de jamon y quesillo. the croissant was buttery and flaky and just perfect. I had the latte estragon frio as a drink and I was literally shaky right after, the caffeine hit hard on this one. I was told the pizza here was delicious so we went a different night and LOVED that they had the option to order halves of different pizzas. So we ordered 4 different halves. All so so good. And the best dish there, hands down, is the Shakshuka. I cant do spice so I asked if they could accommodate that and they were more than happy to. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. You all need to try. This place is also a hotel and you can stay there which is pretty neat. The servers were all so kind and the service was great. There was a small wait time each time I went but it is 100% worth it.

Best pastries in all of Oaxaca! Enough said. Popular place that locals visit every morning, so it's definitely worth visiting.

Not much I can say that hasn't already been said about this place. It is an essential spot to visit in Oaxaca. The food is always consistent and delicious. They have great coffees and teas, as well as pastries and the best breads. It's a really cool place, sitting outdoor and I believe you can also stay at this location.

This review is for the baked goods. I tried their croissant and almond croissant and they are acceptable but not out of the ordinary. From speaking with locals they used to be on a higher level but the last few years the quality has gone down as their volume has gone up. Totally understandable but if you are picky about your croissants I found a better one at a much smaller bakery nearby. If you are in the area I would say go ahead and try Boulenc for yourself - I feel Boulenc is not bad I was just disappointed based on all the super high reviews. It didn't live up to the hype.

In a bout of exhaustion after some long days (and nights) a western meal sounded beyond comforting. This was also a spot quite highly rated and reviewed by various food publications. Though I had initially intended to come for some pastries and coffee, I'm very glad we sat in the restaurant and came for a dinner. We went in pretty late in the evening around 10 pm after a bit of a sluggish day and ordered the Greek salad, and salami pizza. I also had a few glasses of the house wine. The wine was pretty decent considering the price, super easy to drink and mild/dry. For food, I found the Greek salad to be really interesting. It was light on the vegetables and quite heavy on the cheese. It also had some lime (I think?) squeezed in. I interpreted it as the Mexican flare on a Greek salad. The pizza was great. They are known for their fermentation, and the pizza crust did not disappoint. Great crisp, chew, and acidity. The pizza is accompanied by two salsas, catrina and macha (chili oils). Both were good but the macha was definitely our collective favorite - but very spicy! Didn't expect to get dessert but honestly it was such a hit. I believe it was a brownie and ice cream combo but the ice cream was incredible. It has an almost seductive buoyant texture that melts but still has a good heaviness to it. If this ice cream was sold on its own, I'd probably get it in a pint. Overall, I think we paid $35 per person for this meal, with drinks and dessert.

This place always has a wait so you know it's good! We stopped by 3 times and finally around 8:00pm the wait was down to 5 minutes and we could grab a table. The croissants are delicious!! They are known for their pastries so we had to try something and the almond croissant did not disappoint. The pizza was also delicious! The crust was beautifully baked and the cheese was very fragrant and delicious. We sat in the upstairs area and it was very moody and cozy!

Exquisite food The food at this café bakery restaurant is exquisite! We enjoyed our main meals and the desserts (tiramisu made with hazelnut biscotti and brownie) were amazing. The main meals were accompanied by their signature sourdough which was terrific! (Note that several Oaxacan eateries are using the Boulenc sourdough!) Unfortunately, the lack of lighting meant that everyone had to use their phones to see the menu, the food and their bills! The music was also a bit too loud so it was hard to hold a conversation.

I seriously don't know how this place have 5 stars Yes the food wasn't bad but The whole place has bad bad energy all the staff is super bitter and unfriendly The place had a depressing vibe in the ground floor But when I went to the bathroom there was a bar and stairs to a balcony with way happier music and better vibe felt like a different restaurant. Basically there's so many other amazing places in Oaxaca I will not recommend this.

Boulnec was our most visited food spot of our trip. We came here twice and was it worth it. Wouldn't say it's the most authentic Oaxaca cuisine but it was a great breakfast spot for healthy eating. We would start our breakfast with a Green Juice and Coffee. I would customize my order of the Aguacate Y Cilantro by adding poached eggs and bacon. Basically Avocado toast with eggs and bacon. Super delicious. Forgot to ask what the name of the pastry we would get was called but if you see in the photo the pastry is a 10 out of 10 in flavor!

We met some family for brunch here and waited about 15 minutes. We originally went to the Jalatlaco location but it was closed. The old building is beautiful, it's a small place but worth it. The food is amazing, we had avocado toast, shasuka, croque monsieur. All coffee drinks and hot chocolate were so good. I ended up ordering an Irish coffee and the cream on it was out of this world.

Mullen does not really need another five star review. It's popularity is well deserved. All of their food is excellent the salad,s , sandos, all the breads are outstanding, as is the ambience and the service. When you tired of typical Mexican fare , this is a great place to dine.

The burgers was great. Juicy and high quality ingredients. Pizza was great too. Cool garden like atmosphere. Drinks were very refreshing too. We had lemonade and raspberry lemonade. Only downside was the roasted potatoes/fries. They were bland and dry.

I love the vibe. It became the place I wanted to start my day every morning in Oaxaca. I live in San Francisco and it reminds me a bit of Tartine, one of the top bakeries/ patisseries in my city.

My friends and I went there and got three different drinks and they all tasted the same, their food options were very limited as they had ran out of everything. I don't recommend going on Monday, on Wednesdays they restock so you'll have a better chance of getting a fully stocked menu. I went on a Wednesday and had better luck. Although I have an avocado allergy and let them know and my sandwich came out with avocado. It got removed off the bill and compensated it with a free pastry. The pan de muerto with cajeta was very tasty. The service was good, the waiters are very friendly. But depends on who you get some are not as attentive. The setting is really cute. Very touristy. Almost everyone eating there we're not from Oaxaca. I would rate it a 3 simply based off of the pastry I tried. The rest of the stuff on the menu is worth more of 2.5

She loves a good bakery and I'm always interested in what's at the top of everyone's list in certain cities. Boulenc came up on numerous lists as I was researching yummy bakeries to try in the area. I knew I'd walk over for breakfast while in town. The space is perfect and I found them with ease. I was going to order to-go when I realized I actually had time to stay, so I walked around to their restaurant side and secured a table. Service was quick and friendly. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their fresh baked pastries. I also wanted a little yogurt dish with fresh fruit so I paired that with my latte and chocolate almond croissant. Boulenc makes for the perfect special bakery and restaurant setting for a lovely breakfast if you're looking for sit down or takeaway. I'd have to say I agree with the crowd, this place is a definite must if you find yourself in Oaxaca.

Yelp
Boulenc comes across as a hipster-hangout for breakfast; just look who's in line. While the crowd seemed touristy, we saw no Americans. This is a place to start your day with in-house baked goods of croissants, pastries or rolls or a full breakfast entree of French toast or pancakes. If that doesn't wake your senses, the medium/dark full-bodied coffee will. Quick attentive service was friendly. The interior vibe is retro-chic and it is relaxing and airy, like sitting down as a child at your mom's breakfast table.

Wow, what can I say? Everything at the shop was incredible. The breads, the jams, the honey, the yogurt, the hummus and even the service. The shop is nestled right next to the lovely bed and breakfast. Everything between the shop, bed and breakfast and the restaurant were separate yet all together. What impressed me the most is the kind and friendly service.

This place is so good, there's been a line out the door both times. I feel like I'm in NY waiting for the hot breakfast spot of the moment. I love the spinach quiche. The almond croissant was good, but quite dry. I wouldn't order it again. Minus one star for that. The alfajores were perfect and paired nicely with the coffee. I'll be getting more to go. The service was fine; nothing exceedingly friendly nor exceptional. Take small bills because even though they have a lot of traffic, they don't like to make change for 500 pesos and wouldn't accept 1,000. Solid spot, kept me satiated during my trip to Oaxaca.

We knew we were in for a treat when we had to stand in line for fifteen minutes. After being seated, our server was very attentive and took our orders right away. My wife had a latte with an almond croissant while I had the cappuccino with a chocolate croissant. We also ordered the English muffin with eggs. The food was delicious. I wish I knew about this place sooner. I highly recommend it.

5 stars hands down! Make a reservation or come early and prepare to wait. We waited 25 mins. Per my photos attached, all good was delicious. I will say, I'm biased when it comes to shakshuka given I've had very tasty shakshuka in the states, particularly Israel, unfortunately but fortunately. This one comes pretty sweet due to the sweet tomates, so I left most of that behind but ate the eggs. They're French toast was by far a fave item of mine. So easy to tear and it melts in your mouth! The best I've had by far! **Must order** Fruit, granola, with yogurt, we got an order of that, and a custom one with kefir because we wanted the probiotic. We loved the probiotic! Note, it's bland, but if you're a fan of it then get it, otherwise stick to the original. The tea, was by far fresh (can you see how green it is??), so I recommend it if you're thinking about a hot tea. Last but not least, the service and ambiance (not to mention the cool decor and building) was awesome! Buen provecho!

Boulenc in Oaxaca, Mexico serves artisan breads, pastries, and food in a beautiful, airy space with foliage and art. We got the molletes and the hot cakes to eat, green juice, and the juice of the day (cucumber orange) to drink. Everything was tasty and I loved the table salsas. One has sesame seeds and I believe cranberries, so good and flavourful! The space is big and full of greens and plants. There's a downstairs space and upstairs. We sat upstairs. Service was nice and the server had great recommendations. They also have a pastry shop just next door. We got a couple pastries and an iced coffee with tarragon to go. We got the almond croissant and orange cornbread, the cornbread was fantastic! So delicious! Would love to come again!

Amazing spot for breakfast and lunch. It's so tasty that we alway go at least twice on every trip (with stops at the pastry window throughout). Once for breakfast and again for lunch. Bolognese is slammin, always ask about the daily soup. For breakfast always load up with a selection of pastries. Then move onto the goods like French toast with cajeta.

If you are craving a more American style brunch this is the spot. Just like top brunch spots in the US, you will likely have a long wait for a table. Unlike the US, the food comes so fast it feels hurried, and staff seem focused on turning it tables over providing service. That said, the food was excellent. I just wish I could have relaxed while enjoying it.

Simply amazing! Quality food, drinks and customer service! The decor, the music.... everything is just incredible! Came here 3 times in a span of 24 hours. I fell in love with the French Toast! OMG it is insanely delicious! I also had the mini breakfast burger... and the English muffin, a carajillo and orange juice. For dinner we had the margarita pizza, gnocchi pasta, Caesar salad and a smash burger, I also had two drinks but I can't recall the names. ALL meals were tasty. The customer service goes hand in hand with the food--they are so savvy and so courteous. I would go to Oaxaca just to come here over and over again! Come early to beat the crowd.

Unfortunately I found this gem of a restaurant on my last day in Oaxaca. I had a ham and quesillo sandwich on a fresh delicious croissant which was to die for. Served with a great spicy sauce on the side. The place is actually a bakery as well so any kind of sandwich should be great. Also have pizza which many patrons were enjoying so I figure their pizza must aso be great! They serve a large selection of fresh pastries as well that look delicious. Had a fresh brownie with Mexican vanilla ice cream that was also very good. Highly recommend this restaurant as a casual doing spot. Prices are also very reasonable.

During my morning walk, I stopped for coffee and croissants, and stayed for the amazing Cesar salad!! It was busy as usual. However, the staff were attentive and calm, always a good sign during busy service hours. The space is light-filled and the scheme was interesting. When you're in Oaxaca, make Boulenc a part of your experience.

This was a nice little break of French-inspired cuisine while visiting Oaxaca. The croissants are everything they need to be and more! Perfect flake, butter, and their breakfast menu is amazing! We had the shashuka and a breakfast croissant sandwich with cheese and ham and an over medium egg- everything was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

In addition to my review of 2020, I am adding this review regarding the bakery next door to the cafe. The breads and pastries are as good as anywhere I've traveled. My favorite bread is Pan de Andrano. Not a particularly sweet bread, it's a dark bread laced with blueberries. This makes a great toasted buttered slice. Try It!! My favorite pastry has to be the Croissant de Almendras. This bakery has organic honey that has a uniquely distinct flavor, as any local honey should. Service is friendly and helpful, though no hablé inglés, just point to what you want. You won't be disappointed! The Boulenc Bakery 5 solid stars

Almond croissants are AMANZING in the bakery. The shakshuka breakfast was amazing in the restaurant portion. Totally recommend both.

The service was great and so was the food. I had their croissant sandwich with bacon and egg it was really good. Only thing I was disappointed in was the coffee, I had a cappuccino and americano and both were small. I felt like I was drinking an espresso shot or even a cortado. Prices are good, not over priced. They don't serve drip coffee.

Fuimos a Boulenc para comer ayer. Tiene una decoración muy rústica y agradable. Éramos cinco personas. Comimos un quiché, canelones, pita con cordero, ensalada de la casa y tostada con jamón serrano. A cada uno nos gustó nuestro plato, aunque los favoritos fueron los canelones! Estaban increíbles. Bebimos zumo de naranja natural, buenísimo, y compramos un hojaldre que tiene una mora negra encima y va relleno de una crema ligera que estaba excelente. Recomiendo este lugar!

Best bakery in the area! Recommend to come here early in the morning to avoid the wait. This place is very spacious and has a chill vibe. The bakery and the restaurant is separate but they are right next to each other. Their almond croissant is to die for! The croissant is crispy, nutty and buttery. The almond filling inside is very flavorful and it was oozing out when cut in half. The ham and cheese croissant is just as delicious. Highly recommend to add an egg to the sandwich. The coffees are really smooth and great as well. Really enjoyed my breakfast here!

Excellent service, great location, this place is famous for their almond croissant and by far the best I've ever taste, everything cook to order. Excelente servicio, este lugar es famoso por su pan de almendra, y esta súper delicioso, la fruta esta súper fresca y todo esta muy delicioso.

Really enjoyed our chocolate croissant - pretty close to the ones we had in France. Hot chocolate was good and unique with spices. I still prefer Argentina hot chocolate more - it was more dense and probably just melted chocolate bar with hot Milk. Mexican hot chocolate feels lighter and even with milk it was less dense.
