BoulencA local classic for brunch. You can grab a coffee and baked good to go (the pastries and Mexican breads are delicious), or sit at the restaurant, which is located in an old colonial building (go when it opens to secure a table).
CriolloThe most famous restaurant in Oaxaca, from lauded Mexican chef Enrique Olvera. Come for dinner—when you can enjoy a set menu of locally inspired dishes on the atmospheric terrace—as well as breakfast.
CrudoSix-seat omakase restaurant that implements local produce into dishes like ikura nigiri and yuzu clam sashimi. Crudo has a larger space next door with a bar, where you can dine if you can’t get into the original restaurant (make reservations in advance).
