Considered Puerto Escondido’s best fine dining experience. This small and unpretentious restaurant is a must for food lovers - offering both degustation and a la carte options. We generally try to stay on the light side of the menu. Make sure you try the smoked grilled oysters. Reservations required via OpenTable.

Better know to locals as “El Coste” this is one of the original and standout restaurants in Zicatela and one of the best in all of Puerto. A seafood lovers paradise. Sink your feet in the sand, listen to the waves and enjoy some of the freshest fish in all of Oaxaca.

We love this restaurant for its unique take on modern Mexican flavors. Its rooftop location is fantastic and the cocktail list is one of the best in town.

Perched high on the cliffs above Playa Carrizalillo, Espadin is known for its spectacular sunsets, seafood and Oaxacan cuisine. Just make sure you don’t have too many Mezcalitas - its 185 steps down to the beach!

Despite it’s name (and making some of the best burgers in town), Alaburger is the king of pizzas. Enjoy thin, crispy delicious pizza in a casual beach setting where you can put your feet in the sand and listen to great live music. Its communal seating and fire pits are a great way to meet other travelers. A very fun night. No reservations - first come first severed basis.

The newest addition to La Punta’s food scene, and our number one pick for Japanese in Puerto. The modern concrete architecture is a draw but the food, cocktails, ambiance and music are always on point. Highly recommended,

Michelin Star Dining under the stars in one of Mexico’s best Omakase restaurants. It doesn’t get more spectacular than this. Located a 30-Minute drive north of La Gema lies the magical world of Casa Wabi and Kakurega Omakase. An absolute must in our opinion for guests traveling to Puerto. Reservations Required.
