[...] We reviewed our dinner at Nectar awhile back, relating how happy we were that Nectar seemed to have regained it’s status as one of Merida’s finest restaurants. Apparently, the owner and chef, Robert Solis, has spent some of his culinary education traveling the world. And in the process, he has befriended a man, Rene Redzepi, who is the head chef at one of Copenhagen’s leading restaurants, Noma. In case you haven’t heard of it, and we had not, Noma was recently named the 15th best restaurant in the world on the S. Pellegrino list of World’s Best Restaurants. [...]

Nice article. Thanks so much for the Nectar review! I will have to keep it on the top of the list of places to eat, when I return. Everytime I have been there, the food and service was just as you described. I somewhat disagree with you about it being a little hard to find. It’s only one turn off Paseo Montejo (Calle 21 between the Super Bodega and Office Depot).

I would also recommend La Tratto and Trotter’s. Both are nice and a little less expensive, but not by much.

Other Good places to eat, in my opinion:

-Eladios in Colonia Mexico, near the Railroad tracks.
-The Cocina Economicas in the Mercado Chuburna, located near the old church on calle 21.
-The cocina economicas in Mercado Colonia Aleman.
-cocinas economicas in Santa Anna near Paseo de Montejo.
-There is also the cocina economicas called Pachitas in Centro, or is it Pachetas?

Of course, my wife and I at times eat at the KFC and the Burger King in Centro.

Where ever you eat in Merida, enjoy.
