Casa Amate - Casa Amate

Casa Amate is a step above most restaurants and resorts. Excellently executed and carefully prepared with an attention to detail that any restaurant in a U.S. city would be envious of.

The home layout is cool. The food and wine not so much

Definitely our favorite of the restaurants we tried in the Mayakoba area. We ended up dining here twice. Charming decor that imitates a house, with different rooms decorated as a study, a library, a living room or a dining room. The staff was wonderful, always warm and helpful. I would recommend the hummus and the tuna avocado starters, and the duck breast and the steak as main courses. Even the dessert was lovely, we specially enjoyed the vanilla - filled fritters with coffee ice cream. We even tried one chocolate dessert that included some fried grasshoppers (chapulines), great experience overall!

We stayed at Andez for 6 days and had breakfast here almost everyday. I would definitely recommend the ala carte over the buffet. I wouldn't give more than 3 stars to buffet but the breakfast on the menu are pretty good. The grilled avocado and the salmon brucshette was our favorite. Oh! And the green juice was the staple drink for us!

Saturday evening tasting menu 'From Mexico to Andaz' including wine pairing with 2 glasses of Mexican white, one red and tequila pairing from Clase Azul. Before tonight I did not know I like tequila. At friendly 1600 this is fabulous value. I have been to a number of different restaurants in this area of Mexico and Casa Amare takes the price for most precise and excellent cooking. Tonight the Mexican twist was leaning towards Spain. Marvellous. Wine list holds a great variety and quite a number of good choices. Tip: Get a table outside. 2nd visit Tuesday evening. I had the 'chicken with grappamiel' which made me think of top level European gourmet dining. If you are not afraid of odd wine pairings try a glass of the Spanish Itsasmendi No7 which makes the chicken come 'alive'.

Excellent food and service. Or second time here with our stay at Andaz. We'll likely be back.

My husband and I had an absolutely incredible time at the Andaz Mayakoba resort, and our many visits to Casa Amate had a lot to do with it. We visited this restaurant several times during our stay. Each time, we were warmly greeted by Andrea and Francisco, who made us feel like family. We then started our evening with a drink at the (absolutely stunning) bar, prepared by Daniel, the remarkably skilled bartender who treated us like honored guests. Although the entire menu looks mouthwatering, we couldn't get away from the same two dishes: the totoaba tiradito and the Latin trilogy. These were the standouts that we had to keep ordering. The flavors were incredible, and we couldn't get enough. Christian, our server on multiple occasions, provided impeccable service and made a lasting impression on us. By the time we left the restaurant on our last night at the Andaz, we knew for certain that we'll come back to Mayakoba—for all of the many reasons there are to return to this gorgeous and unforgettable property, but especially for the exceptional hospitality and exquisite flavors on offer at Casa Amate.

I dined here on Thanksgiving evening and was treated to the most excellent service possible. Supervised by the Manager, Francisco. A beautiful 5 star restaurant in a lovely setting for indoor or outdoor dining. A complimentary cocktail with an excellent bourbon was served. It was a fixed menu meal with a delicious appetizer. It was, I'm guessing, a deconstructed carrot to die for. A turkey breast roll with stuffing was excellent. The Chef and Francisco are both from and trained in Mexico City. Both men are extremely professional and personable. The bar area resembles a private room in a mansion, well stocked with an excellent variety of wines and liquors. Francisco suggested dessert on the terrace which was perfect. Transportation on the grounds was provided by shuttle carts. An excellent experience with fantastic food and world class service.
