Flamel — Restaurant in Mérida

Hark, seekers of merriment! Prepare to have your perceptions challenged at Flamel, a true illusionist of the night, conjuring intrigue from its very threshold.

The Grand Entrance From the moment you approach, the walkie-talkie symphony of the staff creates a sense of delightful exclusivity, whisking you away as if to a secret world. It's a clever bit of stagecraft that truly sets the scene.

The Visual Spectacle (and its Deception) Behold the drinks menu, a scroll of liquid promises, gleaming with potential! The concoctions themselves are visually stunning, adorned with unnecessary but captivating light-up trinkets.

If you are in Merida this is a must visit you...

We showed up without reservation, but the host was nice enough to accommodate us and allowed us to enter with limited timing, which we understood and appreciated very much. The waitresses were very friendly and gave us a brief explanation of the concept of the bar and even very good drink recommendations. I'm looking forward to...
