About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
  • Hot spot
Showcasing hand-crafted spirits, Zapote celebrates artisanal producers and sources from local small-scale farms to create cocktails that are at once familiar and nuanced for both casual and discerning drinkers. The food reflects the diverse culinary heritage of the Yucatán Peninsula including Middle Eastern flavors with a special focus on live-fire cooking. Zapote Bar is a love letter to the Yucatán, its products, culture and people. Created and operated by Rosewood Mayakoba under the leadership of Director of Mixology, Joshua Monaghan, Zapote Bar is an internationally recognized destination for Yucatan-inspired craft cocktails and a celebration of hacienda culture and Mexican hospitality. It is located at Rosewood Mayakoba, 12 minutes north of Playa del Carmen.

    Second time here during our stay but this time we actually had dinner outside. Had a couple of apps and the lamb chops. Although the portions are small (and quite expensive), the flavor and spice the chef prepared the dish with was amazing. The vibe in the bar tonight was great and one of the best experiences we have had since we got here. Highly recommend booking a table here.

    Food and service are superb. Arrival greeting was a bit disorganized and ambience could be improved but was still very pleasant.

    Excellent drinks (Wana nana was favorite). Great appetizers, shrimp quesadillas and local fish tacos served on a rootbeer leaf. A little pricey but very good! Service was excellent.

    Too hot. Like the idea of open air, but needs more air circulation/fans. I don’t want to be dripping with sweat when I drink and dine.

    Incredible dinner, we truly enjoyed the whole experience but the beef carpaccio was the star of the show for us. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back to try even more from the menu!
