Aquí, un ritmo animado acompaña la transparencia de luz que hace vibrar los colores. La sutileza de lo esencial subraya el poder evocador de los olores y sabores que surgen de la cocina de Alejandro Ruiz.

Se mezclan los aromas y los sabores de hierbas mediterráneas con las oaxaqueñas. Así, la albahaca y el romero comparten sus tintes con la hoja santa, la pitiona y el shorobobo. Asimismo, granada, pescados y mariscos, venado y cordero alternan con chapulines, huitlacoche y quesillo.

Cinco sentidos influenciados por una extraordinaria vivencia gastronómica.

    First time in Oaxaca, and while the view was lovely, the overall food was adequate. The duck was overdone. Would I recommend the venue for dinner? Maybe.

    My favourite after much research and the ten kilos I came home with. Be sure to reserve for the terrace, the lobby is not the same

    While lovely to look at the food wasn’t as distinctive and delicious as I had hoped for this price point and reputation.

    Umm. We were so looking forward to having a meal here. It was good food ( the sea bass was delicious), but not amazing, and something just felt ‘off’. The desserts were pretty bad and we left most of them over and I love dessert. The flan was grainy and the chocolate was way too rich. One of our waiters was great; warm and calm. The next one was hyped up and anxious. Not good. The loos are awful. Like temporary porta cabins at a festival with loud music blaring in them. Just weird. It was not the experience we thought it would be. Sorry.

    Terraza con una vista espectacular, el sazón de sus platillos no decepcionó al igual que el de su mixología
