About the restaurant

We are a sensorial journey.
Amazing mixes of intentionally selected items.
An eclectic, mysterious and relaxed bar.
This is a secret and special place, where the spiritual and the material meets and combine creating magic.
A trip to ourselves, where the liquor reveals its secrets from the hand of the mixologist and the kitchen from our chef complements it perfectly.
A hidden space where we are not afraid of the unknown, where everything feeds the spirit...
and, of course, the body too.

What a fun way to enjoy the evening! This little secret spot ignites your curiosity as you try to find it (good luck!). Our chef was so lovely, animated and passionate about the dishes he was serving us. Every dish was packed with flavor and attention. Certainly worth the price. Highly recommend for a date night or just a great night out. Our favorite dish was the Robalo Ceviche - I am still dreaming about it!

Extraordinary cuisine. Very creative. A bit overpriced in my opinion but well worth the experience anyway.

This has been our best dinner in Mérida. The restaurant is stunningly beautiful. The service is impressive. From the moment we walked until we left, every interaction was perfection. The host was friendly, yet professional. The server was attentive and friendly without being over bearing. My husband and I wanted for nothing. The food was superb. We started with the minaret. It was so fresh and light. We moved onto the Elegancia Del Mar and Black Surf. The flavors blended together beautifully to create perfect dishes. We finished with the cornbread dessert. Our drinks were just perfect with the meal. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We will be back again.

Our new favorite sushi spot in Merida. Everything we ordered was meticulously prepared and served, and the combinations were super unique and creative. It’s not cheap, but absolutely worth it
