Here, between one dish and the next, you will pray that the evening will not end, because everything will bring you pleasure, joy, fresh air and the smell of the sea. Ten restaurants, where the flavor of the gastronomic elaborations will lead you to one of your best travel experiences.
▮ We must not forget that the gastronomic experience goes far beyond a menu, there are many other factors that influence to make the visit complete and satisfactory, and that is what we have paid attention to in this list.
The decoration, the service, the musical ambience and the views add points.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Fresh and quality raw materials, not only fish and seafood, but also vegetables from local producers. Simple recipes and elegant presentations -or not- that are accompanied by wines or craft beers, without forgetting tequila or mezcal.
We are talking about honest, charming places, where good food is assured and with locations downtown, on the boardwalk, overlooking the sea or the islands. Ocean views that look even better under the stars of the Loreto sky.
