    An Exceptional Culinary Experience at Nectar Mérida If you’re visiting Mérida and looking for an unforgettable dining experience, do yourself a favor and book a table at Nectar. I had the 5-course tasting menu yesterday, and every bite was a creative, flavorful journey that left me thoroughly impressed. The menu was thoughtfully curated, beautifully balanced, and showcased bold, local ingredients with modern, artistic flair. Highlights included the Black Onions with black recado tempura and xcatik aioli — crispy, rich, and bursting with Yucatecan character. The Lettuce Bouquet with Yuzukosho dressing and Cotija cheese was a refreshing, elevated surprise, and the Castacán Taco was pure perfection — tender pork, bold black recado, and just the right amount of spice. For the main course, I chose the Miso Chicken, which was succulent and paired with Brussels sprouts, cauliflower purée, and Parmesan — every element working together beautifully. Dessert was the standout finale — the Manjar Blanco, with its coconut textures, sponge cake, and rosemary ash, was both delicate and deeply satisfying. The ambiance, service, and attention to detail made the entire evening flawless. Nectar delivers world-class food while celebrating the best of Yucatán’s flavors. I can’t recommend it enough — a must for food lovers exploring Mérida!

    Enamorados quedamos mi esposo y yo de Nectar. Pedimos el menú degustación de insectos y estuvo delicioso. Acompañamos con un maridaje el cual fue una muy buena decisión. Todos los platillos fueron presentados a detalle y su ejecución fue impecable. Los sabores que pudimos experimentar por primera vez fueron muy agradables. El ingenio y creatividad de sus platillos nos dio de que hablar todo el fin de semana. El servicio impecable, Me encanta cuando el restaurante te permite ver la cocina en acción y Nectar lo permite, es muy grato ver al equipo trabajar en coordinación. Esperamos volver pronto. Gracias.

    Como siempre, visito Néctar por sus sabores tan diferentes e interesantes en comparación con otros restaurantes. Hoy no fue la excepción: todo estuvo delicioso. Tenían un menú especial por el Día de las Madres, con un risotto exquisito ($450), y además pedimos un plato fuerte de carne de venado ($750), igualmente muy bueno. Un comentario a considerar: los precios, en relación a la cantidad, pueden parecer elevados, pero al probar cada platillo realmente se aprecia el porqué. Ahora bien, algunos detalles a tomar en cuenta: Hice la reserva vía OpenTable (día complicado por ser Día de las Madres) y me llamaron 10 minutos antes para avisarme que tendrían mesa disponible solo en la terraza (fuera del restaurante). A mi esposa le interesaba ir, así que no le di mayor importancia. Afortunadamente no hizo tanto calor. Pedí que, si se desocupaba una mesa adentro, por favor me cambiaran. Vi llegar más gente y nunca supe si simplemente nos pasaron por alto o decidieron dejarnos ahí. Otro punto que no recordaba de visitas anteriores: al llegar nos recibieron con vasos de agua y dejaron la botella en la mesa. Al pedir la cuenta, la botella apareció cobrada ($125). No es el costo lo que molesta, sino el hecho de no preguntar ni avisar previamente. El restaurante es excelente y me encanta volver, pero creo que estos detalles sí deberían tomarse en cuenta.
