Boulenc is a breakfast and cafe spot in the city center of Oaxaca. It's popular among tourists but…read morealso among locals as well. We went a little before open and there was already a small line forming. We ordered the ham and cheese croissant ($145 MXN) and the shakshuka ($135). The croissant was soft and I liked the cheesiness and creaminess. The shakshuka had a bit of spice and I liked dipping the bread into the sauce. The eggs were a little hard though and not runny at all. Both of these dishes were delicious and I still think about the shakshuka even today. For drinks we had the flat white ($58) and iced latte ($63) which were also good. We usually don't go to the same place more than once during our travels but this place was just so good we had to. This was my favorite brunch spot and I can see why it's such a popular spot.

I love the design; all vintage wood, the bar is really nice and all the local products, even the coffee mugs, spoons and napkin holders, are awesome, I also really like the birdcage lamps. The coffee is really good and is from a local coffee plantation. My favourite drink here is the water mango smoothie, so delicious on a warm day. There are loads of different desserts and they also offer salads, sandwiches and baguettes. My favourite dessert or just a nice snack with my coffee or smoothie are the oats cookies, the Nutella muffins are also delicious. (Actually everything is delicious because they are all freshly made with fresh ingredients, the cheese cakes, croissants and other sweet bread.)

We ordered a moka, hot chocolate, berries smoothie and a breakfast combo that included fruit, juice & bean chilaquiles with tasajo. Everything was delicious, they did took a bit of time to have the drinks ready. It's a really nice atmosphere, rustic decoration achieved with wood (either is repurposed or they make it look like that). There's a small play area for the kids and a terrace upstairs, really well done btw.

We ordered a few items and were completely satisfied with everything! The food tasted extremely fresh! Just look at the vibrant colors that cover the plates. The Toast Con Pina was a delicious way to finish breakfast, which was served with a side of fruit. I'm not going to describe the food here, because the pictures I was able to capture say it all. The color, the texture, the layers, the aroma...as they say, you eat with your eyes. You can sneak a peek at the ladies in the back making the bread from scratch in an open-space area that's hard to ignore. You are captivated by every inch of this place. The live music by a violinist, just "wow"!!! Oaxaca is represented well by this place!

Step off the sidewalk a few steps into a gated street to find this gorgeous courtyard restaurant…read more At 6pm, I had the place to myself. This hidden gem has a small but diverse menu of fresh and tasty dishes. It's mango season, so I jumped at the salad option. I could have had more jicama, but the salad is a nice change from the meat/tortilla/queso diet I've been on the last week and a half. Ceviche is a big deal in Oaxaca, and this is one of the best I've ever had. The coconut milk is an unexpected and refreshing twist that adds a depth of flavor to this delicious fish. I was also pleasantly surprised by the sauvignon blanc from Baja, California. This lovely Cafe offers breakfast, lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday and breakfast only on Sunday and Monday. Check the Google Maps listing for hours, that seems to match what's posted at the restaurant. And if you're wondering what a Chepiche is, it's a Mexican herb apparently similar to cilantro often used to season meats. That explains the very herb/vegetable forward menu. Reminds me a lot of California farm-to-fork cuisine. Great Playlist of extremely romantic soft rock/folk music in Spanish. I've been Shazamming almost every song! This is not my cheapest meal in Oaxaca by far, but sometimes self care looks like a date night for one. Thanks, Chepiche Cafe. You were just what I needed and more tonight.

Mind you, El Milenario was my first time officially trying Oaxacan food (it was our first day in the city) so the bar was pretty high. After an extended back and forth with our waiter over what we were ordering (my Spanish wasn't as good as I thought, I'm afraid) we got our order in, and sat down to await the our first taste of Oaxacan gastronomy. We each got the black molé and a tlayuda to share, and thoroughly enjoyed each of them. My cousins say that El Milenario has some of the best black molé Oaxaca state, and while I only tried one other black molé during my visit, I'd venture to agree. Aesthetically the restaurant was charming, and definitely reminiscent of a more traditional Mexican establishment. I found that most higher end Oaxacan restaurants in the city pursue something of a minimal-modern look, coupled with traditional Mexican colors and an extensive use of local flora. It's a beautiful aesthetic, but El Milenario has retained a more traditional, older Mexican style. Lots of rough tile, wood, and (in a charming way) walls that definitely could use a coat of paint.
