Zatar Restaurant in Sayulita offers Exquisite Mediterranean Cuisine in the heart of the village. This restaurant was voted BEST MEDITERRANEAN by the Bay Area A-List. With 21 years of experience in Berkeley, California, Zatar and its owners have relocated to Mexico and set up in a colorful Sayulita setting with great ambience.

Located on the south side of downtown Sayulita, next to the Sayulita Wine Shop, Zatar features a comfortable large dining area with original and stylish decor with traditional furnishings and a romantic feel.

With fresh, local ingredients, even from their rooftop garden, you are sure to enjoy a delightfully fresh and delicious meal to suit your taste. From lamb to fresh local fish and shrimp, to vegetarian tagine and delightful appetizers, there is something for everyone to enjoy at Zatar.

Looking to enjoy a romantic dinner with your partner? With advance reservation and upon availability “Sunnyside Babysitting” located just upstairs from Zatar can take care of your babies & kids in the meantime. Accepting ages 2-9 only!

"The food is extraordinary - beautifully prepared, brilliantly executed and very unique. This is not your father's falafel place! It transcends everything you think you know about Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food with the best ingredients."

Please contact us via the form to make a reservation, rent the ZATAR or to arrange catering for your private party.
Kelly and Martin are looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you in Sayulita!

Pomegranate Fest! Exquisite food kicked up a notch.. Wow!

If you love pomegranates, be sure to stop in soon to taste some of the spectacular dishes made with this fresh ingredient. We tried the mezza sampler which contained three spreads, delicious hummus, house smoked baba ganoush, and Muhammara, a unique spread made from roasted red peppers, walnuts and pomegranates.. Served with veggies and house made flat bread it was perfect for two to share and was SO good!

We also had the pomegranate salad, with organic mixed greens, poached pears, candied pecans and goat cheese, of course topped with pomegranate seeds. It was crisp, fresh and super tasty. The main dish special was Chicken Kuzi, which was roasted organic pulled chicken wrapped in phyllo pastry also filled with almonds, dates, basmati rice, apples and cardamom. It was baked and finished with a pomegranate / red wine reduction sauce and grilled vegetables.

This is one of the best restaurants in Sayulita and even if you stop in when it is not pomegranate season you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, I've never had anything that was less than spectacular here.

The hand crafted house cocktails and desserts are also great! The atmosphere is romantic and the staff are caring and attentive.

Absolutely delicious food

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zatar!! It is my go to “treat yourself” wish list restaurant that I pick every time I want to go somewhere nice for dinner. I wish I could eat there every day! Every single item on the menu is absolutely delicious and impeccably prepared with fresh and luxurious ingredients, and moreover, you can tell each dish is cooked with care and love. Zatar is the only restaurant in all of Sayulita with such a unique Mediterranean / Middle Eastern style cuisine. The ambiance is beautiful as well, and easily makes you feel transported to another part of the world. It is hands down my favorite restaurant in town. Zatar is a family run business, and the owners are so friendly and very good at what they do.

The food was out of this world!

Had an incredible dining experience at Zatar and was fortunate enough to make it to the last night of the season. The chef's tasting menu was full of flavor and with multiple choices, good for those who like meat or vegetarian dishes. The cocktails were delicious too! We had a large group and they were super accommodating and friendly. Can't wait to eat here again when they reopen for the season in September!

Best lamb in Mexico

Zatar is the best. Great food and great service. Sayulita is so fortunate to have a restaurant of this caliber in our little town. Order whatever you want off of the menu. It's all great! Then go back.

An Oasis of deliciousness, quality, and heart

The husband-wife team of Zatar put their heart and soul into this restaurant and it shows. I used to enjoy Zatar in Berkeley and was delighted to see that at Zatar Sayulita they bring the same passion to the table with beautiful aesthetics, organic, local ingredients, and incredible Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Kelly has great taste in wine, which you can tell when you order a glass, and they also create amazing, very unique cocktails using home-grown herbs (basil margarita and tamarind rose water YUM). We brought our 8-month old and I was confident to feed her any of their food, as I trust the cleanliness of their cooking process (which, ahem, may not be the case for every delicious food in Sayulita). The fresh caught fish with sesame-saffron sauce, potatoes, and grilled vegetables was incredible and the hummus (with a side of homemade bread - best in town from what I hear) is just as silky-smooth as I remember! It may be a little pricier than most places in Sayulita, but it's special and it's worth it - go here and you won't be disappointed.

A must stop before you go home

Location is just off the square and easy to find. Owners are very gracious and work hard to make you night an outstanding event.

We had the grilled leg of lamb, salad, humus and fish of the day. Everything was prepared to perfection and accompanied with some outstanding "house" wine. We will visit again before we go - and you should too.
