Restaurants near Church of Santo Domingo de Guzman

We had such a great meal at Catedral! The food was delicious, the service was superb, and the setting (on the patio under the stars with great music) was amazing.

The food was nothing short of excellent — every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The overall service was prompt and well-organized, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. However, one unfortunate moment stood out: our main server appeared to disregard our table after the initial order was placed, showing noticeably more attention and courtesy to other patrons. Whether intentional or not, it was hard not to feel that we were being overlooked — and sadly, it seemed based more on appearance than anything else. While the rest of the staff more than made up for it, and the server who brought our food even went back to get props to explain everything that went into our meal. we left happy with the meal, however the experience was a reminder of how important it is for hospitality to feel inclusive for all guests.

Great food. Excellent experience. Great place to enjoy local food

Restaurant was very good—excellent food and presentation. Lovely views from the top deck. Staff very attentive and helpful. Service was prompt and polite. Only drawback was being seated next to a large and loud mezcal tasting party, but the staff did give us a different table on request. One note: many steep flights of stairs(like all over Oaxaca), a challenge for older or less agile customers.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and while we felt somewhat rushed at the beginning of the evening (meal was served within 15 minutes of sitting down and dessert came out immediately following the plate clearing), the restaurant and serving staff were lovely. A beautiful, quiet setting and the fantastic flavours in the entrees were enjoyed. Complimentary appetizers and birthday cake to share were a very nice touch as well.
