Tulum Eats; Sunday Scenes At Casa Banana
When searching the best restaurants to eat in Tulum, one place that came up time and again on recommendation was Casa Banana.
A restaurant with Argentinian roots, the open firewood kitchen is the centrepiece of this warm and rustic dining experience.
It was buzzing on a Sunday night so we had a short wait for our table, but we were pleased to be seated on the high tables at the front, giving us a great view of the bustling restaurant.
We were welcomed by our lovely waiter with an appetiser of smoked hummus toast.
The wood fired beets with goat cheese, garlic chips and balsamic emulsion sounded simply divine and it was one of my favourite dishes of the trip.
My boyfriend ordered the six hour roasted short ribs with black pepper sauce and dominó potatoes; the meat was so succulent it melted in the mouth.
We also shared the arugula salad with aged grana padano slices and citrus vinaigrette.
Everything was delicious, the service was brilliant and the restaurant was a vibe on a Sunday evening.
If you’re visiting Tulum I’d highly recommend Casa Banana as a top restaurant with the complete package.
Warm and inviting interiors, lovely friendly staff, a bustling ambience and of course, exquisite food cooked over traditional wood and fire ❤
