AUTOR, Tulum

 Ughf The author is a dining of dreams. It is a hidden gem in Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya. when I tried this restaurant I was staying in a Conrad with my boyfriend. And it was my boyfriend’s birthday and I wanted to celebrate it exactly at midnight. Definitely, I was worried because it’s another country another city. But the team of authors took all my worries away. Marco, Dimitri and the extraordinary Chef saved my planes. I can’t thank you enough. The management of this restaurant is exceptional. 

We enjoyed everything from the food, cocktails, mocktails, atmosphere- everything was impeccable. This was the best meal we’ve had in Mexico (chipotle bread with coffee butter, braised beef with foie gras sweet potatoes, best tamale with truffles, lovely delicate dessert with raspberry (try this please) and then a chocolate caramel cake with richness of flavour) and left us with a desire to try more. Everything was incredible its service its food and aff course its environment was also too good. Highly recommended!!!

It is easy to find international breakfast in Tulum but difficult to find authentic international dinner in Tulum. This is basically an Argentinean steak house that serves American blended flavour food with the beautiful environment of Tulum.

Its ambience is fantastic with an open kitchen view for every table. Candles on each table and jungle touches around it make it a perfect destination for a romantic dinner. Kitchen Table is definitely one of my favourite destinations in Tulum just because of its incredible service and flavourful food. They did have to pick your own lobster choice on their menu. It’s too cool that people feel a connection with their on-order food. I taste their signature jungle bread and trust me it is the best bread I have ever tasted in my entire life. We also had beef brisket which had also settle smoky flavour in it the overall food was delicious.
