Meyer's
calle 13 x 36
Colonias Buenavista
German deli. Real & real good. Best bread in town. Troll ambiance.
Beltraneja
Calle 21 No. 107 at Calle 22, Colonia Itzimná.
Nice house, Nice neighborhood. Bad Art. Bad Food. Too bad we could use a good Spanish Restaurant.
El Meson del Segoviano
50a x 57
Another Spanish restaurant. I have been here once 3 years ago when it opened. I'd give it a second chance if I ever thought about it or if I were in the neighborhood and hungry. The setting is lovely.
Casa Lucia
Santa Lucia Park
calle 60 x 55 y 53
Reminds me of alot of neighborhood restaurants in Milan from my former life in fashion. Marble and glass and laminated menus. It's not at all a bad choice for lunch. I eat there all the time. It's never been great and it's never been bad. The desserts are the only real disappointments here. They are sitting there staring at you all through your meal and they look great. They all suck. I have tried them all. They suck. I know they look really, really, really good but they allsuck. Yes the pecan pie, the chocolate layer cake, the carrot cake and even the cheesecake suck. Sorry. Have that order of fries and skip the dessert. Even the bathrooms make you feel like your in Milan.

About this blog
Restaurants we recommend to our Guests in Merida are now posted here where they are listed by neighborhood. On this blog you will find the good, the bad and often the extremely ugly reality. My cardinal rule in Yucatan is cheaper is almost always better.

About Links
Yucatan Today is useful for the addresses but they "love" everyone who advertises with them and so you'll only find positive "reviews" on thier site. Except for the reviews it's an excellent resource
Yucatan Living only wants positive things on their website and so all of my negative comments have been banished. It's a positive must visit site before coming to Merida
Los Dos reviews are written by a fellow NYer and a chef and they tend to be fair. I've heard nothing but raves for the cooking school.
Roving Gastronome is another NYer who writes about the Yucatan but lives in NY. She writes for the Rough Guide but her blog is more candid and fun
In the text I've linked to certain sites that give more information or addresses for these restaurants.

I think Beltraneja is gone already... we drove by there the other day and there was a different name on the sign....
We went back to Meson de Segovia for lunch last week. It was fantastic. Much better than 3 years ago. Will go back again next week and write a review....
