Otto — Restaurant in Oaxaca

My partner opened an upscale Italian restaurant in Vancouver and I worked in fine dining for years. Needless to say, we are foodies, we live in Huatulco and we loved this place.

Otto was the last place we tried at Quinta Bella but it was the absolute best if the 6.

I would put this right up there with some of the top dining experiences we’ve ever had. The chefs deserve a lot of credit, everything we ate was done to perfection, including all the little sides we ordered.

They serve you a gracious amount of snacks, large portions for meals and even a pallet cleanser.

If you compare what you get here compared to something similar in Canada/US you would likely pay 4x. For two mains, dessert and a bottle of wine at this level to be around $120 might make it the best value upscale place I’ve ever eaten.

Honestly, the two best restaurants in huatulco are Otto and Casa Bocana, but I would now put Otto first. We loved it enough to tip the chefs. I’d post photos but we didn’t bring our phones.

For the management, the only thing is change is remove the TV! No need for sports when the food deserves all the...

Good restaurant. Inside all inclusive hotel . I was on another hotel . So people can book it from outside as well . They have outside area as well . Closer to the pool . Reservation required in the weekends . Nice set up all together. Staff speaks English , happy to explain and ready to make changes if you have any requests.

Good Cocktails/ Mocktails

Food fusion - Mexican/European ( Food tasty)

Portion descent size.

Nice atmosphere from 8pm .

People mostly booking it for special occasions.

Everything in the menu is not actually available to order . ( Born marrow ) So check of you are going there to eat that as it's shows in menu. I went twice just for born marrow but disappointed.

They gave us alternative politely declined . They were ok with that .

Do not order any desert that European influenced especially if you are from Europe. You may not enjoy as they have very different approach all together. Etc . Cream brulé / Morang & strawberry.

I will visit again for food and cocktails....

This restaurant offers a refined Franco-Mexican concept, with beautiful ocean views and a pleasant indoor atmosphere. Many of the ingredients are fresh, which is appreciated, but I would caution visitors from cities like Mexico City, Monterrey, or the United States to be mindful and cautious with certain menu items.

In particular, I had a concerning experience with the Cheeseburger and French Fries. The dish is mainly offered cooked to medium, which I consider a high-risk microbiological practice. I specifically requested it well done, understanding the serious bacterial infection risks — such as E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella — that undercooked ground beef can pose. These infections can be life-threatening, even for local residents.

That said, the flavor was good — the burger bun, in particular, was excellent. However, due to the food safety concern, this is the main reason...
