WOW. If I could give more than 5 ⭐️ I would. The experience of Alamazul is unique, exceptional & delicious. The venue is a beautiful outdoor garden set under a lovely cabaña style roof with chic decor and a welcoming, but luxe vibe. Then the duo who run it are both beautiful, and you can tell they put their heart into everything they offer. The cocktails were fresh & tasty (we had hibiscus mezcalitas), and the food was stunning in presentation and incredibly flavorful, fresh, and thoughtful. We had the shrimp adventure for starter, sushi platter (was one of the best pieces of sushi I’ve ever eaten), the shrimp rice (sensational) and cheesecake dessert. I think I’ll dream of this food for years to come. The only slight downside was that the restaurant was quite busy, so the drinks and food took a bit of time but the hostess was really gracious and apologetic, offering us a complimentary starter as we waited. To be honest we really didn’t mind and it was definitely worth the wait. If you go, just give yourself plenty of time to not rush and slow down to enjoy a perfect meal cooked with love and shared by this beautiful couple in their space. Can’t recommend it highly enough 🙏✨

Really delicious and creative dishes! The tuna on a mound of cucumber “infusion” was tasty. As well as the sailfish dish with coconut emulsion, nopales, & other ingredients. The cocktails we got were refreshing and even the playlist was part of such a nice atmosphere! We ended the meal with the coconut crème brûlée 🤤 You can feel the coming together of many cultures and influences on this menu. Would recommend to come and try!

This was by far our favourite restaurant in Puerto Escondido! The food was exquisite!
I highly recommend going here, you won't be disappointed. The shrimp risotto was on another level, probably the best I've ever had.

Very welcoming and friendly couple…run by an Argentinian chef and his French partner.
These very kind people really know what they’re doing. Food presentation was an 11 on a scale of 1-10 and the food was a 12. This octopus was the most tender and flavorful I ever had. Apparently, this is a slow cooked dish that involves 2 hrs of boiling before it gets sautéed and grilled.
Highly recommended!

Our favorite spot in Puerto! Super friendly folks crafting some amazing dishes and cocktails with a lot of attention to detail in presentation and flavor. The pulpo zarandeado and arroz de Camaron were the standouts in my book. So good I didn’t stop to take a photo. Love everything about this place!
This is the first restaurant which is worth 5 stars during our 10 days in Mexico. Not only 5 stars it's worth a Michelin star! Mescal cocktail with pineapple juice and sashimi were amazing. So much taste that you are going to have a mouthgasm. The quality of ingredients is outstanding. Great service, cool vibes. All the best things that can happen on holidays. Thank you guys, you are the best.

What a surprise to come across on the street below the main street in Rinconada!! We had no idea it existed.
The menu is well thought out, the quality is very high and the service is fantastic. The pulpo was amazing, as was the shrimp risotto, and their cocktails are fabulous. A wider wine selection will undoubtedly develop but we stuck with their cocktails. This is a must, must, must go-to place, open for only a few months and it was the best dining experience we have had in the area. We will be back.

Among the best in Mexico. We’ve dined in 5 star restaurants in CDMX and Oaxaca but Almazul in Puerto Escondido deserves 6 stars. Surprising tastes, excellent ingredients and very friendly. I hope to come back soon 🥰

Hidden Gem of Bacocho! Funny to use the term “hidden” as its one block off of B Juarez. Excellent Japanese style food. Family run (Argentinian & French). The chef trained with a Japanese chef in Argentina. Very friendly family that are stoked to use Mexican products in their dishes.
