Yeikame Sayulita is a fine-dining restaurant on Marlin street in Centro Sayulita, presenting contemporary Mexican cuisine within Mexico's Riviera Nayarit dining scene. The kitchen builds its identity around a single tasting menu rather than an à la carte format, reworking Mexican staples with modern technique and seasonal, often locally sourced, ingredients; no Michelin recognition or celebrity chef affiliation is attached to the restaurant. The tasting menu, priced at $45, changes with the seasons and typically threads together seafood, corn-based dishes, and reinterpreted regional classics course by course. The dining room is set in an intimate garden, with low lighting, greenery, and a hushed, romantic atmosphere well suited to special-occasion dinners rather than a casual walk-in meal; noise levels stay low throughout service. The beverage program favors a short, thoughtfully chosen wine list and mezcal-based cocktails designed to complement the tasting courses rather than a large by-the-glass selection. Reservations are recommended given the restaurant's small garden footprint and single tasting-menu format, particularly during the December–April high season when demand for Sayulita's upscale dining rooms peaks. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Monday from 5PM to 10:30PM, closed Tuesdays.
