Las Mañanitas, Mexican gourmet restaurant in Cuernavaca, Mexico
Las Mañanitas is a gourmet restaurant in Cuernavaca with open-air dining terraces surrounded by gardens where peacocks, flamingos, and cranes roam freely among Japanese-style ponds and sculptures. The restaurant occupies a renovated colonial building with multiple dining areas that offer different views of the property.
The restaurant was founded in the 1950s by Robert Krause, who transformed a colonial building into a respected dining destination. The establishment was later recognized by the prestigious Relais & Châteaux guide and has maintained its reputation since.
The kitchen blends Mexican cooking traditions with international techniques, showcasing this through seasonal dishes and preparations that change based on what is available and fresh throughout the year.
The location is south of Mexico City and is easily accessible by car, with advance reservations strongly recommended. Visitors should plan for a few hours since the full experience includes time to explore the grounds before or after dining.
Guests participate in a ritual exploration of the sculpture gardens where they sample local spirits paired with sangrita before being seated for the meal. This unusual welcome creates a connection between the natural surroundings and the dining experience that follows.
