It has a simple chalkboard for menu and every dish that is
crossed out of it as the evening progresses, means it’s gone! Hartwood is
famous for using local produces for all its dishes that is transformed in to
wonderful creations by its chef and restaurant founder Eric Werner.
The saying farm-to table or in case we can also add
sea-to-table has is what Hartwood Tulum has managed to personify for its
customers making it a part of every “Best Restaurants” list.
Restaurare
The Restaurare proprietor Roberto says that are a completely
vegan restaurant. But they do not just want to attract vegan customers. They
want to cater to all food lovers who want to try something new and different.
Most of the customers who visit Restaurare never realize they had vegan menu
even after they finish their foo and this is a reaction that has now become
common for this meat free exotic restaurant.
The ingredients they use here is completely local. But they
add a twist to the local ingredients by adding a Indian Lilt to its Malayan
Curry, mole is cooked with the very unpredictable plantain and pumpkin and
Aromatic noodles that has a little inspirational touch from Balinese recipe.
The food on offer year is both contemporary and cosmopolitan in its taste. As
Roberto says that in Restaurare health is important but taste cannot be
compromised.
Taqueria el Carboncito
The Taqueria el Carboncito is one of the local hot spots. If
you are looking from the best Al pastor Spit in Tulum then head straight to the
Taqueria el Carboncito. The seating at this place is mostly outside and most of
it cooking also happens outdoor. The pastor spit is tender and juicy and unlike
any other you will taste in Tulum or anywhere in the world.
La Onda
If while being in Tulum, you get a craving for that classic
pizza and a classic bowl of pasta with some red wine then there is no better
place to go to then La Onda. With no frills attached it is one of the best
places in Tulum for your food cravings, a hidden gem one may say. La Onda is
owned by an Italian, Matteo who knows his pasta and pizza to the T. The service
and the staff at the restaurant is as good as it can be.
