Casa Oaxaca el Restaurante

Overview

Reflecting the upbeat rhythm of Oaxaca, Casa Oaxaca El Restaurante offers a sensorial dining experience. Set inside an 18th-century colonial townhouse, this two-storey space buzzes with activity across an airy rooftop terrace and alfresco dining area.

The menu is equally spirited — insects, considered a delicacy in Oaxaca, are present throughout. Venture beyond your comfort zone with dishes like fish tacos with grasshopper salsa or corn tostada with chicatana ants and agave worms. All vegetables come from the restaurant's organic garden and other endemic ingredients are plucked by the best local producers.

Don't overlook the wine selection where there's a host of acclaimed Mexican vintages to explore.
