Museum of Yucateca Gastronomy

The place is incredibly pretty and food isn’t as at all, but it’s not incredibly either. It is still a must go if you’re in Merida. A lot of traditional options and the service is great. You can get a good reference of what your experience in Merida will be like, by having food here on the first day of your trip.

If you want to try a wide variety of traditional Yucatecan dishes, this is a must-visit spot. The food here feels more high-quality and healthier compared to similar dishes at the market. Beyond the food, you can also watch how tortillas and *cochinita pibil* are made by hand in the backyard, which makes it a great place for an authentic experience. The staff are friendly, and the space itself is beautiful. If a friend were visiting Yucatán, this is definitely a place I'd want to take them to.

What a Gem! By far the best restaurant we have come across in our Mexico travels. The food was excellent and the restraunt was amazingl with a beautiful large courtyard and even an air conditioned dining area as well. The staff were very friendly and our waitress spoke English. She was able to understand any adjustments we needed with our meals.

This is not so much a museum, as an excellent restaurant, with a shop and display. The museum of Yucataca Is Gastronomy, is an excellent restaurant with typical Yucatan dishes that you will not find anywhere else. We found that the food was excellent, and the portions were very large. I made an entire meal of the shrimp appetizer, while my companions ate the negro relleno, pibil, a tasty Yucatan tamale, and other dishes. The food was good, and note that the prices match the quality of the food. Afterwards we hit the store / museum. It talks about different ingredients, how food is prepared, and they have artifacts from the time. The restaurant is worth visiting for the food!

A very nice establishment. Service is outstanding, English is limited. 4700 pesos for 7 of us so not too bad, but pricy for Mérida. Food was good but there is definitely better.

Wow. I was blown away by everything we tried and how gorgeous the atmosphere was. The best restaurant we’ve been to, hands down, in our 1 week in Mérida. Every dish was well seasoned, tasted fresh, and looked amazing. Each cocktail was crafted beautifully and even the flan was amazing (I’m usually not a fan of flan). We will definitely be back!

They have a beautiful indoor courtyard. The music is romantic classic music. The cheese empanadas were cheesy. The parrillada meal perfect for 2 people and came with handmade tortillas. Tres leches cake was yummy. Great fast service. Local beer. They have the underground food reveal at 3 pm all the way in the back of the restaurant. Authentic Yucatan cooking.

This restaurant is beautiful, set in a colonial style courtyard with plenty of plants. I was encouraged to dine here by my tour guide. However, the food was disappointing- my least favorite dinner I’ve had in 2.5 weeks of dining at local restaurants and eating amazing Mexican food. The food was DRY, salty, and lacked flavor and came out way to fast to be prepared to order. Highlight of the meal was the free tortilla chips. They do have vegan items and the staff speaks English. I would not recommend it. Try Holoch instead.
