Hartwood
A landmark restaurant on Tulum's beach hotel strip, cooking entirely over wood fire and clay ovens, with a menu that changes daily with the catch.
Hartwood was opened in 2010 by Eric Werner and Mya Henry, both from New York. It is a signature Tulum restaurant and has been recognised by Michelin (2024, 2025). The open kitchen sits in the jungle and uses no gas. Everything is cooked over wood, charcoal and clay ovens. The chalkboard menu changes daily according to the catch, Mayan milpa produce and market supplies. Common dishes include grilled seafood, tequila-glazed slow-roasted pork ribs and grilled beets. Dinner only. In peak season (December to April), book in advance on the website. Walk-ins can queue around 4 pm or sit at the bar. Some sources say it accepts cash only, and it may close in autumn, so check the website before visiting. Located on the Tulum-Boca Paila beach road.
Opening hours
