Restaurante ARA Mérida

We went for dinner on a Sunday. We didn't have a reservation, but we were lucky. We loved the tapas; they were delicious, the staff gave us great advice, and we would go back if we had stayed longer in Mérida!

One of the best places we've eaten. We went with four people and two dogs, and everything was delicious, especially the migas, which were spectacular. The waiters are super friendly and served us very quickly. The thoughtful touch of letting your dog into the dining room so you can enjoy the air conditioning is also very appreciated. Definitely a place we'll return to.

Que suerte! We absolutely loved our stay here in this somewhat hidden courtyard. The food was excellent and the service very, very friendly.

It's quite common that when I visit a new place, I check out the places that not only have the best ratings but are not too centrally located and offer something different. In this case, we had received a few recommendations for other places, but this one caught my attention. And we weren't wrong. We ordered several things to share: ham croquettes, shredded beef tacos (spectacular), secrets with potatoes (also delicious), and eggplant with goat cheese and honey. The waiter (who wasn't serving our table, but I wish he had been) informed us that the wine we had chosen wasn't chilled and gave us a taste of the ones he had chilled so we could choose (a nice touch). To top it off, we ordered the homemade cheesecake, which was truly delicious. The only downside, though I don't want to take anything away from the place because it doesn't deserve it, was that the service from the girl who served us was inattentive. (not because they weren't helpful, which they were) but because they kept us waiting: upon arrival, we had to search for the menu online because they didn't have it, and when we ordered dessert, we had to complain after a 15-minute wait. We understand that anyone can be careless on a day like this. We would definitely come back. It's a shame that being from Valencia, it's not closer to home.

Highly recommended. Attentive and prompt staff. We had cannelloni with Torta del Casar bechamel sauce and crumbs. For dessert, we had baked cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Definitely worth remembering.

A charming restaurant. The dining room is located in the restaurant's interior courtyard and is accessed through a long hallway. The service is super nice and friendly, and the food is delicious. We ordered a salad, some migas (breadcrumbs), a portion of breaded cod, and a hamburger. The cod crumbled into large slabs, and the migas (breadcrumbs) seemed like they were made by Grandma. As for the rest, I have to say it was delicious, and there was nothing left over. We will definitely return, as they also allow our pets in, as long as they are well-behaved.

Food, service, and atmosphere are top-notch. A relaxing interior patio, super-friendly staff, and if you're traveling with pets, the place is pet-friendly (they were also very kind, bringing water for our dog). We ordered the eggplant with goat cheese roll, meatballs, gyozas, and wok. All highly recommended. If we're ever in Mérida again, we'll definitely go again.

A cozy place you won't regret eating at. A restaurant with a remarkable interior terrace and a very cozy dining room. The food, without a doubt the best, was generous portions at an amazing price. The migas (breadcrumbs) are a real delicacy, especially the ones we've tried. The service, although a little slow considering the crowd, was not a single complaint. The waitress was very friendly. Definitely a place to recommend in the heart of Mérida. A 10.

Very good experience at this restaurant, highlighting the migas and the friendliness of the staff. We also ordered cachopo and it was very good, the cheesecake was spectacular. If we return to Merida we will repeat.

It's been a long time since I've had such good food and such great service. 💯 Service, delicious food, and reasonable prices.

The food was very good quality and everything was delicious. The waiters were very friendly, and I congratulate the cooks.

Very pleasant experience at this place, my partner ordered a salad, quite good in quantity and I ordered the hamburger, it is the first hamburger that I can say, that has impacted me with its flavor, a very powerful flavor that almost saturated me (good) since the meat, together with the sauce and the goat cheese (which I don't like on its own) plus the ham and the brioche bread make a winning combination, that truly.. I consider it a gourmet hamburger.
