What an experience. The courses were elevated local Yucatan cuisine. The open kitchen set up where we could observe and engage if we wanted to was really cool. Each course was so different from the last. I absolutely loved how the experience engaged all the senses (taste, smell, touch, visual, sound). It was one of my partner's all time fav coursed restaurants. We got lucky and ended up going on a week night so we had the entire restaurant to ourselves.

Huniik delivers an extraordinary dining experience that’s a true gem in Merida. The service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate. The wine pairings were thoughtfully curated, and the standout was the unexpected delight of a Mexican sake, which added a unique twist to the evening. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, showcasing the chef's artistry. If you’re in Merida and looking for a memorable culinary adventure, Huniik is a must.

Huniik was an amazing experience from the delicious food, attentive service, and all around unique atmosphere. From Mauricio the GM who made sure everything was perfect to all of the chefs that came over to explain the food, we left our meal completely satiated in belly and mind. They even accommodated for some dietary restrictions I had but brought my husband a taste of a course he missed due to my restriction! That simple additional touch shows how much they care about their patrons and wanting you to experience the food. Thank you for a wonderful last night in Merida! A must visit for all!

Huniik offered the most unique and inventive dining we have ever experienced. The quality of the food, taste, and presentation was all exceptional. Diners should be aware, however, that they only offer a prix fixe meal that is very expensive - our meal was 150 per person before tip.

Wow this is top meal of all time kind of experience from start to finish. This chef deserves a Michelin or James Beard nominee. We tried so many new foods and food so many inventive ways - kudos to the Huniik team for an incredible evening of food and drink and memories. 12 courses, wine paring option - say yes. You can watch the food being made and plated and they truly love what they do and care about the food. Incredible. Thank you. Outstanding from the salad course to the lamb to tuna to trying crickets to tequila to natural Mexican wines and a sake and sea bass and tomatoes and so much more - WOW.

One of the most inventive and delicious fine dining experience I have had in Mexico. Tasting menu only. The menu changes every season and I love the creative textile format that also showcases the local artisanal art form. Advance reservation is recommended if you need special dietary assistance. The restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate my husband’s gluten allergy and prepared separate sauces and substitute dishes for him. Very appreciative of their attentive service and flexibility The food was phenomenal from beginning to end. I love the perfect balance of flavors and play on textures. If I have to pick a favorite dish, it would be the refreshing green avocado soup with a kiss of chile. There is so much thoughtfulness in the choice of local ingredients and beautiful execution. We would have gladly returned for a second consecutive dinner if they have a different menu. It is also always a good sign when you leave a fancy restaurant feeling both a full stomach and a full heart A must-visit to add to your Merida restaurant bookmarks

This is a review of the taco bar (La Barra de Huniik), that is adjacent to Huniik. This place is incredible, and a must try if you are in Merida. The concept is inspired by Japanese omakase, and celebrates corn and Yucatecan ingredients. You can either pick which tacos you want, or let the chef decide. I originally was going to get 4 tacos, but the food was so good I changed to 6. I had the fish taco, tomato huarache, beef taco, venison panucho, duck sope, and honey masa. The staff are so kind, creative and talented. Make a reservation and go here!!

This is an experience not just a meal. The only Relais & Chateau property in the Yucatan and one of two in Mexico. It is a unique experience. Be prepared for the 9 course tasting menu. What can I say? The welcome drink is a gin & tonic. The 8 table restaurant features an open kitchen. The service is superb. Yes, it is not a cheap eats. But more than worth every penny
