The most relevant restaurants, including one listed as the '50 world´s best',  were you'll have the most wanted ceviche, guacamole and tostadas among many other contemporary choices. Tulum's cuisine as its best.

The Flavors of the Peninsula

Hartwood

If you know what’s good for your soul, mind and well, palette, you’ll be standing outside of this culinary heaven at 3pm sharp, when Hartwood opens for reservations. Showcasing the flavors of the Yucatan, Hartwood’s dishes are all prepared over an open wood-fire oven. While you’re there, snag a copy of their first ever cookbook, aptly titled “Hartwood Tulum”.​

Safari

Safari is the Taco' the town...see what we did there? Ok, a little cheesy but in all seriousness this airstream trailer located a few steps away from Ahau serves a mean grilled shrimp, pastor and fried fish taco. Skip the traditional corn tortilla and enjoy these bad boys on homemade sweet potato and beet tortillas instead. Accompany your meal with the most amazing yuca fries and voila!

Arca

A recent addition to Tulum’s beaches, ARCA opened its doors in April  of 2015. Snag a seat at the restaurant’s bar and order yourself an “El Solar” or Mezcal Negroni before enjoying your meal under romantic lighting and a high wood ceiling. Hang around for a post dinner drink and catch one of the many talented DJ’s that play for Tulum’s intimate crowds. 

Cenzontle

Living up to its name, Cenzontle is a secret garden nestled right down the street from Ahau Hotel. Offering a menu of fresh ingredients sourced locally, you can expect traditional dishes with a twist. Duck tacos are a must, as well as their refreshing mescal cocktails. Add hanging lights and you’re good to go.
