A contemporary restaurant in central Cuernavaca pairing a modern dining room with a menu of grilled and shared plates drawing on Mexican ingredients.
HOUSE Restaurante is a contemporary, casual-leaning restaurant in central Cuernavaca built around grilled and shared plates that draw on Mexican ingredients with modern technique. Grilled octopus, short rib tacos and seasonal salads are the kitchen's signature dishes, designed for sharing across the table rather than individual courses. The dining room has a clean, modern design with an open kitchen and warm lighting, creating a stylish but relaxed atmosphere popular with a younger, design-conscious crowd; noise levels rise on weekend nights when the bar area fills. A compact cocktail and wine list supports the shared-plates format. Reservations are recommended for weekend dinner given the restaurant's popularity, though weekday visits can typically be accommodated without advance booking.
