IMPORTANT NOTE: Sadly, the Villa Maria hotel and restaurant closed its doors at the end of October, 2009. We’ll miss this place, and we wish the former owners well on their new ventures.

I have been going to Villa Maria since it opened. I have had many wonderful dinners there with friend and have NEVER been dissappointed. If you have never tired the cold cucumber soup….you are really missing a treat. It is niced to be greeted with open arms by the staff and owners. It is truly like going home each time I go. Villa Marie is on the top of my list…visit this wonderful restaurant and you will be hooked as well. I have a small guesthouse in the city…all my guest go there for at least one night….many return again for the next night. Hats off to one very cozy and wonderful place to eat here in Merida.

What is the latest on the quality and presentation of food at Nectar? Eating there was one of the things, on the top of my list, to do when i visited last June-July. I was so disappoited they were closed during my stay. In Merida, there are numerous places to get a “good meal”. For me, Nectar was ranked at the top of the list, but it has been a little over a year since I have eaten there.

If I were in Merida for New Year’s, I’d be at Villa Maria. Having stayed there in May and October ’06, I’ve tried most of the menu by now. I’m very surprised at the characterization of the chef, presumably Johann, as indifferent to a dissatisfied diner. That would be so out of character for him. We’ll be returning to Merida in January and look forward to at least a couple of dinners at Villa Maria while in the city.
