Kitchen Table is a must for those wanting to get the authentic Tulum experience. We came on our first night in town, and started off with the Jungle Bread, and it was probably the best bread I've ever had in my entire life. I would highly recommend getting it if it's on the menu. Speaking of their menu, it seems to be rotating, but I ordered the pork belly (which I believe always stays on regardless), and it was phenomenal. I'm not the biggest pork guy, just thought I would give it a try and it definitely paid off. It was cooked to perfection. The drinks are great as well, between the two of us we had the KT margarita, and two K Tikis, both of which were delicious, but I didn't really taste any alcohol in them. Definitely go to Kitchen Table if you're in town! read more

It was my first time coming to this restaurant and I can definitely say I wasn't disappointed. From the vibrant and savory food to the light yet flavorful drinks, my entire experience here made my trip worth remembering. I usually eat at many restaurants where the food can sometimes feel heavy, yet each dish was so delicious I was almost tempted to order multiple of the same. When I did, it wasn't heavy at all! So if you're looking for a place to eat generously while feeling good, this is the place for you! Not to mention this is my first time in Mexico and I had high expectations for dinner there. Nonetheless, the presentation of the dishes, the overall flavor, and the experts of the culinary arts in the kitchen completely surpassed my expectations! On a final note, if I could rate this place more than 5 stars I would!!! read more

A friend recommended Kitchen Table as a must visit during our recent vacation to Tulum this past June and we were wowed by the service and quality of the food! The atmosphere is intimate and focused on the food versus some other Tulum restaurants where it's about 'the scene'. The short ribs and octopus were the best we've ever had. We loved it so much we came back for my fiancé's birthday dinner and they made it a special night customizing the menu for us. Also highly recommended getting dessert in the dessert area and trying some of the home made after dinner drinks -- spectacular! read more

Had the most incredible meal here while visiting Tulum. We ordered the sope, pork belly, short ribs, and the caramel pot for dessert. Every bite was better than the last and the cocktails were incredible as well. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was amazing - Camila was the best. Highly recommend! read more

I don't typically write reviews, but this experience was far from acceptable. If I could rate this a zero I would. What a horrible experience. I was genuinely looking forward to eating at kitchen table based on what I have read online and heard from friends. My experience was quite the opposite To begin we arrived at 9:25 as there are only two sittings. The host informed me that it would be a few minutes and if I wanted to have a drink I could do so at the bar. Fast forward 40 minutes and I still had not been seated. This wasn't just my experience but multiple people that were waiting for their reservations. One couple waited well over an hour just to be seated. Not the start that I was expecting. Finally got to my table and a couple that had entered 25 mins before me still had not received any food. This was the experience that I encountered. It was over an hour before I received my appetizers. Basic things were lacking such as having water on the table. I had to ask the waiter if it was possible to have water. By this point I was no longer hungry, I just wanted the food to come out so I could eat and get out of there. The food was "good" not "great". The restaurant lacked l leadership from all levels from the way the kitchen was run to the host in the front of house. It was shambolic to say the least. No urgency from anyone even though they were an hour behind. If you have a limited time in Tulum I would not recommend as there are so many great spots. read more

Beautiful restaurant and kind people with a passion for food explains this place. Okay maybe the prices might be a little expensive but nothing crazy for the quality. My favorite dish was octopus and truffles as desert. Although appetizers were great as well with a Mexican touch..really enjoyed and would recommend read more

We went last night at six which is when they open. We didn't have a reservation but they told us we would have a table in ten minutes. I went right across the street to the ATM to get cash because they don't accept credit cards, and when I came back they had told my husband that in order to get the table all the people had to be present, and that for the next table there was a 50 minutes wait. Also, since there are no walls, there are huge bats flying around the tables. read more

This place isn't bad but is over priced and only accepts cash or crypto currency (not a joke). There is an ATM across the street but know that it charges around 20 bucks to take out cash (combining ATM and bank fees). There was a decent selection of mostly Mexican wines, which was nice to see. The food was decent but not great for the money. A complaint is that we ordered grilled shrimp, which were not de-veined. This is pretty standard (de-veining is slicing shrimp down the back to remove the intestine). Call me crazy but when I pay 20 bucks for a plate of food, I don't want to eat shit - literally. We also ate at cheap taco places in Tulum and they all knew how to de-vein a shrimp. It made me wonder what else was or was not happening in the kitchen. read more

The atmosphere at this restaurant was amazing. It's everything you want to feel in a tropical destination. A big palapa. Open kitchen. Candles lined up the staircase with Jack Johnson playing in the background. There were pillow seats with small tables in the waiting area and a huge beautiful bar before you reached the top of the restaurant. It's a small restaurant with only about six tables so I would imagine in high season there would be a long wait. Cocktails were spot on and had that artisanal flavor we are so used to in San Francisco - and served in mason jars which is always nice. We ordered crispy fried camarones with a sensational mayo dip of some sort, as well as the grilled mango salad with arugula, basil and a blue cheese dressing. For dinner, we shared the hog ribs with mashed plantains and the skirt steak with Lentils and Swiss chard and they had some curry spices on them. We loved the meat in both dishes but thought it was all a bit too salty. Everything was amazing and the waitress Michelle was super good and we loved how involved the chef was. He said sorry that our food was taking too long (which wasn't long at all) and waved as guests came in. You must try this place !!!!!!! read more

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is visiting Tulum and looking for a top-notch meal in a romantic setting. The setting is absolutely gorgeous in a jungle-sequel atmosphere with romantic lighting and an open kitchen. The service is 5-star with friendly and attentive staff. You can't go wrong with any of the food here, but I would highly recommend the house frijoles, fish of the day, and avocado starter. read more

This was our favorite spot in Tulum. The atmosphere , food, and service were excellent. When you arrive, try to ask for a table near the kitchen so you can watch the local staff prepare your dish. It's a unique environment. I also recommend the 6 PM reservation so you can see and experience the jungle hillside at sunset. Our waiter was from Mexico City and spoke fluent English. Really, all of their staff including the hostess and bartender were great. We ordered a couple appetizers and the pork belly (we were honestly seafooded out at this point). Get the stuffed avocado if it is still on the menu. Portion sizes are decent The cocktails were also very good! After dinner they have a lounge area in the back where they serve dessert, coffee and drinks. Definitely do this if you have. The coffee is unreal. All in all we spent $92 USD including tip for 2 cocktails, 1 beer, 2 appetizers, 1 entree, 2 coffees, 2 desserts, and one glass of mezcal. read more

This is my second visit and favorite restaurant in Tulum. The octopus is to die for, literally amazingggg. The quesadilla is fantastic, deviled avocado, the shrimp appetizer.... literally dream of this meal. My only regret is not being able to eat it all and not living closer to it. It is worth every penny. Book a reservation now. read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!! this restaurant was absolutely disgusting! the bread was like a hockey puck and lima bean spread was gross. The fish had no flavor, the ribs were also not good. the quesadilla although it was the best thing we had still was bad. the dessert was about the worst thing i've ever put in my mouth... literally. Also it rained on us, and there was a scorpion that almost bit someone and they came through right in the middle of our meal someone came through with a pail of smoke and I felt like I couldn't breathe. this was one of the worst dining experiences i've had. the food we ate at the cenote was better than this and that's saying a lot! read more

Fantastic spot. We loved the environment and open kitchen. Great spot for a date, but could be fun with a group too. On the jungle side. All local produce and loved watching them make it. We had the mushroom quesadilla which was out of this world the octopus, and tuna--all excellent. When traveling to Tulum it is not to be missed. Also they accept cryptocurrency, first I've seen that. read more

My husband and I absolutely loved our dining experience at Kitchen Table. The jungle-like atmosphere and open air kitchen created a unique ambiance. What I enjoyed most about our meal: their creative and tasty cocktails and perfectly grilled and fresh octopus! read more

I love the food and the atmosphere.. open kitchen.. amazing octopus appetizer and the most delicious pork belly entre. Definitely worth it.

Came here based on the Yelp reviews (and wanting to avoid Hartwood), and was NOT disappointed. Gorgeous setting and excellent food. Started with the fig & goat cheese salad, then I ordered the angus beef while my companion had the octopus. Though I did not try the octopus, Companion said it was great. My beef was delicious and tender. We didn't have time to stay for dessert, though we wish we had. Highly recommended. read more

Fine dining in the jungle at kitchen table is a must when in tulum. Got the deviled egg avocado, quesadilla, plantain, and octopus. Each dish was unique and flavorful. Service was attentive. Would go back for the ambiance and to try the rest of the menu. read more

Ridiculously good!!! I wish they were in LA. Drinks and food to start the night right.

One of the coolest ambiance's I have ever experienced. The food is top notch, the cocktails are great and the service is spectacular. In my opinion a must do if you can snag a reservation! read more

I suppose if you are a "foodie" you might like this place, but I was actually hungry. The food was delicious but very expensive even for tulum and we ended up going to buy snacks after because we were still hungry after our meal. That said, it was delicious but I would need One appetizer and an order of ribs was small enough that I left hungry. read more

The best dining experience we had in Tulum, hands down. Every dish was perfect (we got an app, 2 entrees -- the tuna and the steak -- and 2 drinks) and everything was absolutely delicious. The outdoor jungle setting is like many in Tulum, but this place stands out in that you are basically in the kitchen with the chefs. Truly a great culinary experience and a must when in Tulum. read more

This was an awesome dinner experience for Tiwana's 50th. The food was superb. Ambiance was tranquil and made you feel warm and welcomed. The service was amazing. If in Tulum this is a must... read more

We came here for dinner during our stay in Tulum. We got the shrimp, potatoes, salad and steak, all very good. The staff is friendly as well. read more

Kitchen Table - Dinner - Portuguese Near Me - Tulum, ROO

Made reservations a week in advance for my Wife's birthday and noted in the reservation that it was. Received A+ service from the moment we arrived. The host wished her a happy birthday immediately as did our server. We loved everything we tried, the deviled avocados, mushroom quesadilla and the tuna steak. Wanted to try the ribs as well but were too full to order anything else. Not too full however to absolutely love the salted caramel pot dessert that they brought out to her with a candle lit. Everything about Kitchen Table was wonderful and my wife was extremely happy with my choice to spend her birthday and our 1st night in Tulum there. read more

This is the best dinner I've had on a very long time - and a really great value for the price. We had an app, two entrees, two deserts, a cocktail and one of each of the after dinner drinks. The ambiance is so lovely. Every single employee was so kind and accommodating. We could not ask for more. Definitely come here when you come to Tulum! Thank you, Kitchen Table! read more

Magical and tasty! I have already eaten here twice and somehow the sequel beat the original.

Delicious food in a great environment. We had a table right next to the open air kitchen so it was fun to watch the chefs cook. We had the octopus and ribs and both were very good. Service was also great. Good alternative to some of the other similar restaurants in the area (Arca, Hartwood, La Popular, Wild). read more

Absolutely amazing!! Everything from the decor, service to the food. The cocktails were out of this world good! We ordered the lamb which was cooked to perfection and couldn't speak higher of the staff. This is certainly one of the best in Tulum and we highly recommend! We will certainly be back! read more

Kitchen Table is the jungle restaurant. Located across the street from the playa this dinner location has some amazing food. While visiting Tulum I was recommended this place by a local. I stopped by during the day but they're not open for lunch. Called and made reservations after having drinks on the beach and was told they had a 30 min wait but when I arrived my party was next on the list. If you don't call ahead you can enjoy their speciality cocktails or Mexican artisan beer while you wait. The atmosphere is amazing, you feel like you're walking into the jungle luckily they provide bug spray. The kitchen has a huge open fire and you can watch the chefs from your table. The menu only has 4-5 entrees but they're all amazing. My group got two entrees and three appetizers and were extremely satisfied. Truly gourmet dining in the jungle. read more

What a gem of a surprise. The jungle-like setting but on a hill top with a nice breeze and no Mosquitos! The Mayan stone carvings were great. And it feels as if every table is the chefs table. We had the octopus, the tuna and the ribs- all were exceptional. I'd put this one up against anything down the road. We loved it! read more

The mushroom quesadilla is a must have and the octopus is the best I've ever had. Great cocktails as well, especially those made with Mezcal. At the top of my list for my next trip to Tulum. read more

Pretty good food. I had the octopus and my husband had the tuna. I prefered his, the flavors we're so good but mine was good as well. Just not special. Prices are higher but not insane. Service was good also but seemed a little pushy that we didn't want to drink alcohol. read more

Good cocktails, fun vibe. Everything was delicious, but our food took a bit longer than we had hoped for.

Dined at Kitchen Table on our last night in Tulum, it did not disappoint! Great atmosphere, wonderful service and amazing food. Even though we were full on the deviled avocado, quesadilla, pork ribs and skirt steak, we split the salted caramel mousse just to celebrate. A very romantic end to the trip! read more

I came here on my last night in Tulum, unfortunately, or else I would have gone twice! I went to Hartwood, Cenzontle and Kitchen Table for dinner--I would say they are very comparable in style and quality, however Kitchen Table was my absolute favorite. I was with a group of five, so I ended up trying almost everything on the menu--and I loved it all. The food was so delicious, and so unique. Even my brother, who eats buttered noodles and chicken fingers half the time, loved all of it ;) read more

My friend and I ate here at the recommendation of our hotel. The food, service, ambiance and drinks were superb. The quesadilla is a must! Seafood was incredibly fresh. We think this is the best ahí tuna we've ever had and we've eaten at some incredible places. I also want to point out that while many restaurants closed during the tropical storm, Kitchen Table stayed open which to me shows a certain commitment and love for the food they prepare. Our server even brought us blankets so we wouldn't catch chill after we had some rain on us! read more

OH SO GOOD - and so beautiful on the jungle side! You are transported - and the food -- rustic, inspired -- just so good!

This is a truly special place. Do not miss out and make sure to visit while you are in Tulum! The staff is beyond lovely and accommodating and the atmosphere is magical. Dim lighting in the jungle, beautiful tables surrounding the wood fired grill and well-staffed kitchen. A true pleasure watching the food prepared before your very eyes, and then what a treat to eat it. Everything we had was superb. Very generous portions. This place is a must- just go! read more

The best quesadilla I have ever had by far. Also wish I had tried the deviled egg avocado appetizer. Looked great. Mains were great, the beans that came with my steak were very good - good combo with the flavors of the food. Octopus dish was also good, but could have used a little more flavor. Perfectly cooked though, and well presented. Amazing staff, lovely location. Cash only - but there is an ATM for American $ out front. read more
