Very nice place away from the city. Beautiful views. Watch the colibris eat while having breakfast. Great food. Artisanal chocolate cafe is a must try.

The hot chocolate is a must try. Don’t forget to ask for the home made jam!

A quite nice restaurant, at the highest point on the road from Oaxaca City - 9,000 ft. It makes for a nice break midway on the drive to Capulalpam on the very winding road into the Sierra Norte. Very pleasant dining deck with great open view across the valley. Enjoyed the champinones plate, large enough to share (for us who prefer a lighter fare). And chocolate de agua is very good.

Totally worth the drive up to this place. The views are amazing. You have humming birds coming up to take a drink very often. The food was great and the service was perfection.

Exquisite food and tasty jams. It has an amazing view while enjoying your meal, the atmosphere is the most comfortable and the music gives it another comforting touch. In addition, there is an ecological area nearby for walking or driving along the trails; if they're lucky they could find animals from the area.
