A restaurant built inside a working organic orchard on the outskirts of Tepoztlan, serving a seasonal, farm-to-table menu sourced largely from its own regenerative agriculture project.
Parcela is a fine-dining, farm-to-table restaurant built inside a working organic orchard on the outskirts of Tepoztlan, with much of its produce grown on-site as part of a regenerative agriculture project. Orchard vegetable plates, a seasonal tasting menu and herb-forward salads make up the core of the menu, changing frequently to reflect what is being harvested. The dining room is open-air and rustic-elegant, set among orchard rows with views of the surrounding hills, creating a calm, nature-forward atmosphere quite different from the town's market stalls; dress is casual but the pace is unhurried and closer to a tasting experience. A small selection of natural and Mexican wines is chosen to match the orchard-driven menu. Reservations are recommended, especially for weekend seating, given the restaurant's limited tables and its reputation as one of the region's more distinctive dining experiences.
