Restaurants near Estacion Venado

It's one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Oaxaca. The service is amazing, and Chef Olga's seasonal menu is a reflection of her heritage and the availability of local ingredients.

I had the pleasure of dining at this charming spot, and I have to say, it was an absolute treat for the senses. The 6-course tasting menu was perfectly balanced, offering a delightful mix of fresh ingredients with bold, traditional Oaxacan flavors. Each dish was expertly crafted, with incredible attention to detail – nothing was too heavy, and everything was served at the perfect temperature. The flavors were vibrant and beautifully executed, especially the roasted eggplant and the dish featuring zucchini flowers, which really stood out for their depth and uniqueness. The desserts were also a highlight, with just the right amount of sweetness – nothing cloying, just a perfect balance. The ambiance of the place is truly special – surrounded by chickens, roosters, and their chicks, creating a very authentic and homely feel (in tribute to the restaurant’s name). What made it even more perfect for us? It’s pet-friendly, so we didn’t have to leave our furry friend behind. Definitely a must-visit – highly recommend you go without hesitation!

This place is amazing at every level :) One of the best meals and most beautiful settings ever!

We loved it.. the amuse amusebouche was fantastic, perfect octopus. Fideo was simple but perfect on a chilly and unexpected rainy December day , the sea bass was exquisitely cooked with minimal seasoning.. in a city where the tendency to use every flavor in Oaxaca on each dish - for me this was lovely and refreshing in simplicity.. service was equally wonderful

My second time here. The food is amazing. Great flavour and presentation.
