Los Danzantes

Top choice in Oaxaca City


Excellent Mexican fusion food in a spectacular architect-designed patio makes Los Danzantes one of Oaxaca’s special dining spots. The hierba santa (Mexican pepperleaf) rolled around two cheeses are a great starter, and the goat's-cheese flan with figs, chocolate and honey is a perfect dessert. In between, try a fish fillet in mole amarillo (yellow mole) or a rib-eye steak.

There's quality house mezcal too.
