NOIS: Restaurante & bar Oaxaca centro

NOIS is not just a restaurant; it’s a sensory journey that takes you from death into the afterlife, guided by the deep and mystical flavors of Oaxaca. Every dish is carefully crafted to tell a story — a culinary narrative that honors the region’s tradition, soul, and creativity. Our server, Máx, made the night truly special. Her warmth, knowledge, and passion transformed an exceptional dinner into an unforgettable experience. She made us feel part of the magic behind each creation. The attention to detail, impeccable presentation, and emotional connection of the menu are worthy of a Michelin star. Without a doubt, NOIS deserves a Michelin star for its innovation, elegance, and absolute respect for Oaxacan flavors. A must-visit gem for anyone seeking more than a meal — a spiritual and artistic experience that only Oaxaca can offer.

My final meal in Oaxaca ended up being one of the best ones, and the full tasting menu stood out from the rest of the fine dining places I visited in the city. The service was warm and attentive from the start, and the storytelling behind each dish was the best I’ve ever experienced. Every course felt thoughtful and personal, the yellowtail and beef dishes especially blew me away. A perfect way to end my culinary journey in Oaxaca.

Going on three years traveling throughout beautiful welcoming México, Oaxaca de Juárez is one of our favorite cities. Sights. Sounds. Smells. It’s all here. We chose Nois as one of our three celebration dinners for our anniversary. It did not disappoint. Although of appetites could have been bigger (issues for me with change of altitude from sea level 😳) we sampled some of the most beautiful food. The presentation is so exquisite it’s a shame to dig into it. Our service was kind, informative, patient- basically fabulous. We highly recommend this Oaxacan food experience. Obviously not the only ones, it’s a Michelin Star restaurant!

We dined as a group of four and tried the six-course tasting menu, but unfortunately Nois didn’t live up to the hype. At $2500 MX pp, Service was inconsistent, with multiple allergy mix-ups despite repeated confirmations. The pacing dragged, and paper napkins that disintegrated felt out of place in a fine dining setting. While the plating was lovely and the yellowtail standout, most dishes lacked the depth and excitement we expected from the reviews. Perhaps it was an off night, but overall, I wouldn’t recommend Nois and feel the Michelin guide should reconsider its inclusion until consistency improves.

Experienced the new winter tasting menu and it was warm and comforting as they described it. I did the 6 plate tasting menu and it was the perfect amount of food.

Really impressed by the quality and creativity of this restaurant. Amazing fine dining experience with unique flavours and an interesting story. Both the chef and the staff had thought about every detail and I can recommend to have a drink from the bar as well. Will go back to try the full tasting menu!

We decided to come here based on a solid recommendation from a friend who visited a few months ago. My partner and I came in on a Thursday evening with a same-day reservation, and they easily accommodated a vegetarian-friendly tasting menu. They only offer tasting menus here, either six or nine courses (we chose 9 courses for $3k pesos) The service was great and the presentation of each dish was lovely and inventive. They highlighted local Oaxaca ingredients in every single dish. The place wasn’t busy on a Thursday evening in November, but I’m sure it will be packed soon! How lucky am I to be able to say this tasting menu impressed me much more than one we did in CDMX earlier this month, which was twice the price.

Wow! World class cocktails and cuisine right I n the heart of Oaxaca city. NOIS blew all my expectations and the food and service is world class. This restaurant will put the name of Oaxaca and Mexico at a different level. Don’t miss it!
