Reviews For Nectar Yuc.

Carlos Lopez

Fantastic experience! Not to be missed. -Black onions: very creative take, and delicious. -Pato Miel: most delicious duck i have had in a long time, cooked to perfection, with local honey, pumpkin paste and caramelized figs. -Fried Pulpo: not bad, but didn’t love it. -Guanabana Sorbet: my favorite fruit, served with coconut milk and confit ginger infused udon noodles, mind blowing. -cafe de tortilla; burnt tortillas made into a tea that ends up tasting like straight up coffee, served with ice cream, another mind blowing dessert. Superb service, easy parking, we sat at the bar and loved seeing all the cooking and prepping going on.

Highly recommend Nectar. We started with the Chayitas for an app, and some pre-meal pina mezcal drinks. Delicious! I had the Pork Belly and my friend had the Hamburguesa Cordera (of which I had a bite or two) and the fries that came with the burger were out of this world. Service was top notch. Will definitely return.

Gourmet experience and very talented chef. High quality ingredients, impeccable service ( in English as well). Going back again I recommend the cocktails. The deserts are as creative and tasty as the rest of the menu.

It's a fairly small restaurant that feels pretty intimate. The lighting is just right to go on a date. Their local flavors and signature dishes are worth the visit even if you are a foodie with very high expectations. I'd recommend you try the black onion rings (tempura style fried onions seasoned with recado). I would also recommend the pork belly tacos. Their home made tortillas and black bread are delicious!

Perfect experience from the minute we walked in! The only thing better than the food, was the service. Jorge was attentive and knowledgeable. He made the evening a great first experience for us. Had the 5 course tasting and was immediately impressed by all the flavors and textures.

This restaurant was superb. Went for my birthday. Service was top notch! So incredibly attentive. The design is beautiful lots of wood and stone and local elements. Open kitchen, you get to witness where the magic happens. Such precision and craftsmanship We started with the black onions. They were really delicious and unique. Should have gone with the servers recommendation and only get a half order for the two of us. I had the butter poached catch of the day, was Sea Bass at the time. OMG so incredible, so delicate and soft, just melted in your mouth. The white asparagus was cooked perfectly as well. Absolutely beautiful dish. Wish I could have it all the time My partner had the lamb New York. He was in heaven. Cooked nice and medium rare. Was wonderful. Truly can’t wait for our next time in Merida so we can experience this restaurant another time.

Had the 7 course set menu but swapped out the pork chop for the picanha special, which was amazing. The final dessert was some weird garlic experimental thing that was disgusting but overall the course was really good.

My boyfriend and I had an incredible time at Nectar. David was our waiter and he was more than fantastic. We both had the 7 course dinner. I had the lamb, and he had the quail. Both were delicious. Our favorite was the mamey sorbet desert. Perfect portions, atmosphere, and staff. Thank you Nectar for a beautiful date night!
