4.5 / 5.0(1,788 reviews)
Great rooftop location looking towards the beautiful Santo Dominica church. I went there at lunch with my wife and a delightful little “Chapuline” that I’d just been given in the market place. The food was very good. We didn’t have anything from the grill but I add oysters and my wife had the delicious ‘deconstructed’ dessert. Both excellent so I imagine t the grills are good too. Manuel Zamna was our excellent waiter. Here’s some pics of our new chapuline amigo enjoying the view and the food Great place for a drink, nibble or full meal. Margaritas are very strong and very effective. Great view of the cathedral lit up at night and with chill tunes it’s a great place! Rooftop is excellent and the waiters are very friendly and English speaking Lovely restaurant experience with great rooftop views! Had a steak but was a bit tough. The sides were very tasty. The cheese fondue is better for at least four people as it was a bit much . Overall we enjoyed ourselves.

Lovely restaurant on a rooftop overlooking the cathedral. Great food, service and atmosphere. We went for my husband's birthday and they presented him with a lovely dessert with a sparkler and the live band sang for him. It was magical.
