The highest regarded restaurant in Valladolid is set in an opulent hotel with a dining square that surrounds a central garden. It really is a nice setting to dine in and one of the more pleasant meals we had. It's obviously a more expensive menu, however I think it isn't just that they cater toward tourists, but moreso their dishes are finer and more modern versions of the standard Yucatan dishes.
Naturally the staff all speak English, even in response to my broken Spanish.
- Chile poblano del Marques (breaded chile poblano pepper filled with meat & holland cheese, served with Mayan soup) - as described and nice;
- Queso relleno estilo Valladolid (stuffed cheese Valladolid style) 210pesos - thick cheese layer (similar to graviera) which was quite salty, on top of soft shredded meat (turkey, pork). Served with olives, capers, almonds, raisins and chickpeas and in a medicinal soup. Very nice. There was also an ultra hot habanero which i nibbled the end of before realising it was a mistake and my face, tongue and legs went numb.
