About this restaurant

  • Healthy
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
EST. June 2018
Founded by three young Yucatecans in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Agua de Mar was born out of the need to explore and honour our culinary roots, focusing on pre-Hispanic Mexican cuisine and its evolution. We are a research kitchen committed to the preservation of endemic ingredients, working from the origin of the field and sustainable fishing.

We deeply value local products, our producers and collaborators. We work according to the seasonality of the Yucatan Peninsula.
We produce part of our ingredients in our garden and ranch, located in the outskirts of Merida, ensuring that our animals live in freedom, without stress and with a responsible diet. We also respect marine closures, promoting sustainable practices.
In addition, our Wine Bar celebrates Mexican artisanal distillates and natural wines, including Artisanal and pet-nat options, contributing to the VINO VIVO culture.

    We certainly enjoyed the restaurant. The food was exquisite. In fact to me it is by far the best restaurant in Merida. I would give it 2 stars Michelin The food was unbelievably good. Well above anything I have experienced in merida.

    Our dinner at Agua de Mar was wonderful! The service was friendly, attentive and informed. They have a unique, fun cocktail menu. The two of us shared 3 small plates and one main dish which was plenty of food. Don’t miss the baby corn or the sashimi- both are amazing!! It’s a cool spot with great music playing. And very reasonable for the quality.

    La comida es espectacular, se siente lo fresco en cada platillo. Niguno decepciona. Tanto el chef, como Luis en comedor, excelentes anfitriones. Al Sommelier lo percibí un poco falto de humildad y algo condescendiente. Pero pues a lo que va uno es a comer y verdaderamente supera las expectativas. Todo llega al punto y con temperatura adecuada.

    La comida excelente, las opciones de bebidas muy restringidas, no hay variedad de cerveza, solo las que promueben que son artesanales, los vinos con poca variedad y sin carta de vinos a lelegir. No es una buena experiencia si quieres comer bien y tomar una buena cerveza y tomar un vino a tu eleccion. El servicio muy bueno, el somelier muy malo y la ambientacion pudiera estar mas acogedora

    The interior, charming and intimate with a central display of a turn table Audio technica showing Mexican natural wines make you feel at ease. Genuine hospitality, the cocktails are original and balanced. Slow food, sustainable, with local products from Yucatán , inventive cooking and invariably delicious, the plates prepared by chef Luis RUFINO and his team is guaranteed to surprise and captivate . The use of fermentation brings a tingle that will make you want more and more after every bites.

    I’ve had their hibachi Seabass twice and think it is divine (but my partner found it a tad overdone). This is sophisticated cooking that focuses on local ingredients. Our party tried four different desserts and thoroughly enjoyed the variety and creativity. The restaurant’s commitment to natural wines is impressive, but I personally wish there were other wine options. I was a little disappointed that the servers were not more attentive to our needs. We felt ignored at times. But courses were brought out promptly after we ordered them.
