The squash blossom dish was full of flavor and pairing with black paste seasoning was very flavorful, the salad with almond cheese and tomatoes was very good, the cheese had a good flavor sometimes vegan cheeses taste plastic this did not, the suckling pig was roasted perfectly little crunchy on top but meat so tender you can cut off with a spoon, juicy, my husband said the risotto with venison was best risotto he has ever had in his life, you can taste citrus, cheese, and tender venison- the meal was excellent.

Designed by the famous chef Roberto Solis and his partner chef Manuel Balan, Jayu is an exclusive Japanese food restaurant with Yucatecan touches, hence the name JA for Japan, YU for Yucatan.
The concept is a 10-seat bar in which interaction is created between the chefs and the diner.
We have 3 menus.
-Nigiris menu.
-Short omakase.
-Long omakase.
We do not share any menu as it changes constantly, as we depend on daily supplies for its preparation, which consists of fish, seafood, meat and poultry.

Great atmosphere, vibe, service and food! The tuna tostados are a must order appetizer and the grilled vegetables were a stand out. I was impressed with the level of service considering I sat at the bar during my visit. This will be mainstay for future trips to Merida!

Ordered a lot of food which made one or two dishes a bit lower on temperature when delivered. But meat well cooked, exactly how ordered, fish was great as well. Entries and side dishes excellent. Second visit, as good as the first one. Highly recommended.
