Restaurants near Hotel Chocolate Posada

Amazing food and nice view from terrace. Definitely recommend the moles

During my stay in Oaxaca I was fortunate enough to try many of the Michelin guide restaurants, and Brio Cocina was the best by a long shot! I had four courses and all of them were excellent. The food had depth and it was fascinating to learn about it's origins in traditional Oaxacan cuisine, and at the same time learn about the chefs original take on it. I did opt to pair it with a nice bottle of Barolo and I was grateful to have the international options. The service was equally impressive. My server, Ana, was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and took great care in explaining all the dishes. She also had the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism. Last, the view!! It's probably one of the best dining views I've ever experienced and the fact that they didn't rely solely on that to carry the restaurant made it so remarkably special. I tried what was supposed to be the premiere restaurant in Oaxaca on my last night and I regret not just booking another dinner at Brio Cocina.

Memorable moments are made here. From the first step, the senses are awakened to the subtle aura of sights and smell. Slowly journey through eight delicate courses that allow savoring a brilliant mesh of flavors. Local fare features a range of mushrooms and squash blossoms with standout combination of short rib tamale with an unforgettable salsa verde. A charming courtyard with a floral pergola makes for a truly authentic Oaxaca culinary experience.

So good! I think that's the best beet salad I've had in my life

First, the food was fantastic. The low service rating is NOT because of the staff. They were all very professional and friendly. We both ordered their gin-St Germain-tonic drink to start. After several minutes, the waiter came to inform us that they did not have all the ingredients. 😢 My wife then ordered a glass of Chardonnay and I ordered an artesenal beer……”Sorry, the wine bottles are at room temperature. It will take 10 minutes to chill one.” When the two artesenal beer options (bottles) were brought I picked a local brand (very good). “Sir, just so you know, we only have one bottle of that.” However, my ceviche pescado was the best that I can remberer. My wife’s sopa azteca was delicious, too. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. I would think serving drinks would be the “easy part”.
