Restaurante Bajlum

Top choice in Palenque


Creative and stunningly presented Maya gastronomy fills the menu at this upmarket but inviting restaurant. The house specials include the delicious rabbit with 'jungle herbs' and duck with orange. Much of the produce is locally sourced and whatever you order, the owner is sure to come over and explain the story behind each dish. Impressive cocktail list.

It's a little tucked away down a side lane on the left shortly before the ruins. Cash only.
