Hartwood

Top choice in Tulum


Assuming you can get in (it accepts walk-ins and online reservations made one month in advance), this sweet 'n' simple nouvelle-cuisine restaurant down on the beach road will definitely impress. Ingredients are fresh and local; flavors and techniques are international. The chalkboard menu changes daily, and the solar-powered open kitchen and wood-burning oven serve to accentuate the delicious dishes.

It's about 4.5km south of the T-junction. Cash only.
