Located in a…read moreslightly more upscale suburban part of Merida, the place was empty aside for us, but we did go at a strange time of day I guess. Maybe it's more popular for dinner. The waiter did not know a word of English, so be prepared to order and understand the menu in Spanish. When we told him we were American and could only speak a tiny bit of Spanish, he walked off and muttered what sounded to me and my girlfriend like "shit!"! He didn't seem to know how to respons to anything we said in Spanish. Oh well. The bread and chimichurri sauce were delicious. I ordered the burger, which didn't have any flavor, but seemed to have lentils and therefore protein in it, which was a good thing. The salad was tasty. I would recommend trying it out at night time. PS- the coffee was excellent and strong.

We were greeted by two gentlemen's and they informed us that they didn't have enough tables but after a few mins they set us a table near the pool.

This place was amazing !

The trade-off here is that the menu rotates and is limited to their theme of the night plus their standing menu of pastas; for us, this wasn't a concern, but picky eaters could check out their menu on Facebook or outside the courtyard. We went on Lebanese night and had a delicious babaghanoush, mushroom shawarma and mana'eesh. Note: Wear bugspray.

Delicious Healthy and Vegetarian Restaurant in Merida!…read more I visited Savia Vegana for lunch one afternoon during my stay in Merida this November. I loved the unique décor inside the restaurant. They serve a different menu of the day every day with soup, entree and fresh juice included. You get to choose between a few different options for the soup, main meal and juice. I ordered the garbanzo bean soup and vegetarian lettuce tacos, along with a Jamaica drink. Everything tasted absolutely delicious and fresh. I paid a total of 75 pesos for my complete meal, which was very inexpensive and a great value for what you get! The restaurant serves vegetarian/vegan dishes made from fresh and organic ingredients and healthy twists on traditional Mexican foods. The service was excellent and my server was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was really chill, relaxed and peaceful, which made for a very enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fresh and healthy meal in Merida. I cannot wait to return here next time I find myself in Merida!

We had a variety of dishes which were all great but the mole was the star of the show. Beautifully done. Bonus- there's a bookstore also ran by the owners of the restaurant above the main dining room. You can't miss this place on your next visit to Merida EDIT: We loved this place so much we decided to come back again on our last night. As before, the service was amazing and I was able to pick up some great art and architecture books as well.

To start, bugs would not stop falling from the sky...a bit gross, however it was raining a bit and…read moreit is sort of an outside restaurant. Ordered a mango and strawberry daiquiri and they were not blended. Rim was something strange. Not salt, sugar nor tajin. Service was very slow. The guy was nice but would rather chat with his coworkers. Ordered an avocado pizza, and it tasted like something from the school cafeteria. Chaya crepes were soggy, drowned in sauce to the point where it nauseated me. God help anyone who comes here looking for a fulfilling meal. Included gratuity into the check, but told me I didn't have to pay it if I didn't receive good service. What a weird spot to be put in!?

We've been coming to Amaro for a long time. We've had very good food, including Fish Amaro, Chaya…read moreCrepes, Salmon Pizza, and a chicken dish the name of which I can't recall. There's a great variety of drinks--nice traditional mezcalitas, chaya cocktails (with xtabentun), clericot, beer, wine, you name it. The last year or so they've had, in my opinion, a very fine singer/guitarist; she's there, I believe, Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and maybe Saturdays. Music starts at 8:30 (it used to start at 8:00, and I wish it still did or at 7:30) -- no cover. (That's not to say that on the other nights you won't hear good music; over the years there have been many fine trova singers.) All in the atrium of an historic building: in our opinion, a special if not unique place in Merida.

We shared: the ceviche de camarón, maíz y calabaza asada; the pesca del dia (that came with Mexican herb gnocchi and a tartar sauce); the memelitas; and a dessert (panna cotta with passionfruit sauce). We also had a few cocktails each (all of them were great). No complaints about the menu, food, or drinks! The location is wonderful! The restaurant is one of several that overlook the Parque de Santa Lucia. Great outdoor/al fresco dining. There was live music while we enjoyed our meal, and it just had a great ambiance overall! The service was also great - very friendly and helpful! Definitely a great place for dinner out in Merida! I'd be happy to repeat it!
