Fine dining restaurant · Oaxaca City

"Set on the ground floor of the same building as Selva, this transporting restaurant sets the mood for romance with its spectacular open-air courtyard and charming staff that seems to be pulled off the stages of Broadway. Going on 20 years, Los Danzantes (Spanish for “the dancers”) recently earned a Michelin Green star. The chef uses seasonal Oaxacan ingredients sourced from the restaurant’s organic garden or small growers, following a zero-waste policy, and the restaurant produces its own mezcal. The signature dish, a deceptively simple hoja santa filled with goat cheese and smothered in warm tomatillo sauce, pairs well with a sample flight of single-species mezcals." - Lauren Mowery
