Casa de Piedra

Casa de Piedra is the signature restaurant of Hacienda Xcanatún, a restored 19th-century henequen hacienda just north of Mérida, serving refined tasting menus built on Mayan and Yucatecan ingredients. The kitchen's tasting menu moves through courses centered on regional staples reworked with fine-dining technique, alongside a la carte options such as grouper in chaya sauce for diners who prefer a shorter meal. The dining room occupies restored hacienda rooms with high ceilings, stone arches, and garden views, giving it a formal, romantic character suited to special-occasion dinners rather than casual meals; dress leans smart-casual to formal, and the pace of service is unhurried in keeping with the tasting-menu format. As part of a boutique hotel property, Casa de Piedra runs a curated wine list geared toward pairing with its Mayan-influenced tasting menu, alongside a cocktail program using regional spirits. Reservations are recommended, particularly for dinner, since the restaurant's hacienda setting and hotel affiliation draw both overnight guests and outside diners making the drive from Mérida specifically for the experience; booking a few days ahead for weekend dinner is a reasonable buffer. Hours run from 1PM to 10PM daily, positioning it as a lunch-and-dinner destination for a half-day excursion out of the city.
