Huniik
Mérida, Mexico
Huniik is Roberto Solís’ intimate expression of contemporary Yucatecan cooking in the historic centre of Mérida. The chef draws on the flavours of his home region and experience in international kitchens to create a tasting menu with a strong local identity. Rather than reproducing traditional dishes unchanged, the restaurant explores familiar ingredients through contemporary technique and presentation. The small dining room brings guests close to the work behind the meal. Warm stone tones and a carefully composed setting create an experience that feels more personal than ceremonial. Huniik is a useful choice for travellers who want to explore the Yucatán through an ambitious restaurant meal while staying within central Mérida.
