K'u'uk Restaurant
K'u'uk
Chef Pedro Evia's contemporary Yucatecan cooking in an old house, one of Mérida's leading fine-dining restaurants.
Located on Avenida Rómulo Rozo in the Itzimná neighborhood, in an old house near the Monumento a la Patria, this restaurant is listed among the 50 Best Discovery restaurants. Tasting menus are the focus, though à la carte options are also available. Past dishes have included a deconstructed cochinita pibil, potato salad with black recado, and a conch-and-coconut dish. During peak season (December to April), book two to three weeks ahead via OpenTable or Tock. The tasting menu costs about 2,300 Mexican pesos, with optional wine pairing; a taxi from the old town is the most convenient way to get there.
