La Providencia
Zipolite's most suave dining option has an open-air lounge area where you can sip a drink while you peruse the menu and place your order. The flavorsome and well presented food is a nuevo mexicano treat, from cold beetroot and ginger soup to chicken breast in blue-cheese-and-pumpkin-flower sauce.reviewed- A
Piedra de Fuego
You’ll get a generous serving of fish fillet or prawns, accompanied by rice, salad and tortillas at this superbly simple, family-run place. It’s a good value and highly popular.reviewed Piña Palmera
Piña Palmera, an independently run rehabilitation and social integration center for physically and intellectually disabled people from rural communities, does fantastic work with workshops at its beautiful palm-grove site and on village visits. Over 5000 disabled kids, adults and family members have participated in Piña Palmera programs since 1984. Some toys and crafts made here are sold in a shop on the main road. Piña Palmera can use volunteers who speak decent Spanish and are willing to sign on for six months, though volunteer programs are flexible.reviewed- B
Las Casitas
Sample the great homemade pasta (with fish, seafood or vegetable sauces) and the meat dishes and homemade baked goods at this Italian-run place back from the west end of the beach. For its specialty pescado al horno de leña (fish baked in a wood-fired oven; M$120), ask a day before.reviewed - C
Solstice Yoga Center
At Solstice Yoga Center, located within the La Loma retreat, Brigitte Longueville leads 1½-hour hatha yoga classes (M$91) in a large, inviting space most days at 9am or 5pm. Five-day retreats and weekend workshops are offered here too. Drop by for a schedule.reviewed - D
Lo Cósmico
Mellow out on the rocks above the beach in this open-air restaurant at the accommodations of the same name. Cósmico provides good food from an impeccably clean kitchen – especially tasty are the crepes (sweet and savory) and salads.reviewed - E
La Puesta
The open-air discoteca La Puesta provides an active nightlife, cranking out reggae, funk, techno, hip-hop and Latin tunes into the wee hours, though nothing much happens before midnight.reviewed - F
El Terrible
The Francophone couple here make a variety of damn good pizzas, which are large enough to feed two moderately hungry travelers or one very hungry one. Sweet and savory crepes are also served.reviewed - G
Buon Vento
An excellent Italian restaurant with good music, a big video screen and subtle vibes. The huge pasta list includes some delicious baked options, and the wine list is decent.reviewed - H
La Choza
La Choza’s beachside restaurant provides generous quantities of a wide choice of foods from salads and stuffed avocados to seafood, pasta and whole fish.reviewed Panadería Italiana
A neat little place to drop into for focaccia and pizza by the slice.reviewed- I
El Alquimista
The classy Alchemist is delightfully sited in a sandy cove. Its wide-ranging fare runs from falafel or hummus starters to good meat and seafood dishes and brick-oven pizzas, complemented by a full bar and good espresso.reviewed
