The modern Mexican restaurant connected to our first hotel in Oaxaca (see more details here) – Casa Oaxaca El Restaurante – is widely known as the best place to eat in Oaxaca (it’s currently number 34 on the Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurant’s list).

Wonderful Oaxaca
Another lovely colonial town, Oaxaca boasts beautiful buildings and a thriving art scene.
I blame the London restaurant’s incorrect spelling for the fact I pronounced Oaxaca wrong for an embarrassingly long time. Luckily I discovered it is actually pronounced ‘Wahaca’ (as per the restaurant name, not as the correct spelling looks) before I crossed the Mexican border – Oaxacans are (rightly) proud of their beautiful city so it would have caused some serious rouge-cheeks had I not been corrected!
