This place is something very special. We spent a magical evening here under some light rain and had…read morean amazing night. Anna (Ana?) was our server and took great care of us. 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.

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.

Really happy to have visited this vegetarian friendly cafe our last day in Merida. It was a nice…read morerefresher from the usual meat based traditional fare found in most of Merida. Everything was made for us fresh and tasted really great! We had ice lattes, caramel and mocha. Each one was made with coconut milk. I had the sandwich with veggie ratatouille and cheese on it. I got a fried egg on the side and threw that on top as well. It also came with a side salad. It was filling and flavorful. My friend had the quesadilla with black beans. Also filled with veggies and cheese. We really enjoyed our food and would recommend!

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'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.

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!
