The colonial city of Merida is famous for its museums, haciendas and restaurants. Here are five of the best.
Parque Santa Lucia is surrounded by bars and restaurants, and it can be easy to overlook this small place. However it’s worth finding, as the cuisine is innovative fusion fare that uses incredible ingredients at prices that won’t break the bank — great service and an extensive wine list, too.
Get stuck in to the traditional flavors of the Mayan community at La Chaya Maya. Housed inside a colonial building set around a courtyard, the space is as impressive as the food. Try a Chaya margarita as an aperitif.
This buzzing market is home to countless stalls and restaurants where you can enjoy tacos, tortas and other classic Mexican food. Look for the large seating area with Coca Cola-branded tables and chairs; the tortas from the cart next door are incredible.
Pizza is surprisingly good in the Yucatan, and Eskondida lays claim to being the best in Merida. It’s a relaxed place with a good atmosphere, so if you’re looking for comfort food in an informal setting this is the place to be.
A great spot for breakfast and light meals throughout the day, the ingredients are top quality and the staff is friendly.
