Things To Do
Los Danzantes
Michelin 1 Star and Michelin Green Start rated. Set in a dazzling, open-air courtyard, the memorable space buzzes as personable servers guide locals and visitors alike. At Los Danzantes we transform the act of eating into a gastronomic ritual, in which—from start to finish—there permeates care and attention to detail.
Criollo
Serving only a tasting menu, the kitchen leans on traditional Oaxacan recipes and local ingredients. Chefs Enrique Olvera and Luis Arellano are the culinary forces behind this magical oasis that is also part of a guest house listed as a UNESCO heritage. Review by Michelin Inspector.
Pitiona
An ode to rustic Oaxaqueño flavors, the elevated eatery is housed in a grand colonial mansion in the heart of downtown. Before diving into the food, prime your palate with a mezcal sipper on the rooftop terrace that overlooks the 16th-century Santo Domingo Cathedral.
Mercado 20 de Noviembre
This market is a local experience. The market is so beautiful, vibrant and full of things to try and discover. Our favorite spot it is called "Fonda Sofia".
Sabina Sabe
This is our favorite bar in Oaxaca! It is top 50 in North America and it is#1 to us. Named for the mythical Mazatec medicine woman María Sabina, Sabina Sabe is sure to provide a tonic for whatever ails you. The bar features a warren of rooms, each providing an intimate seating area for the cosmopolitan crowd that flocks any night of the week.
Mezcaloteca
Mezcal 101, make reservations and expect to spend at least an hour savoring the flavors of mezcal and learning. Great opportunity for high end souvenir shopping for all your poor friends stuck at home.
