For natural wine, head to Amá Terraza on the top floor of the hotel Casa Antonieta and enjoy the city’s most beautiful rooftop—which doubles as a hummingbird sanctuary.

For a great selection of low-intervention bottles, grab a table for sunset at the rooftop establishment Amá Terraza. When night falls, head for a drink at Selva, a swanky art deco bar with a cocktail programme that hits on all of Oaxaca’s most quintessential ingredients, like quesillo, hoja santa and chorizo – as well as a well stocked mezcal selection. Alternatively, step through the swinging doors at Salon de la Fama – a Oaxacan institution where you’ll always find a crowded bar and cumbia soundtrack that spills into the street.

This hip rooftop spot sits within the gorgeous design hotel Casa Antonieta and provides diners with a bird’s eye view of the city. With lounge chairs and string lights, Amá Terraza is a cozy spot for coffee drinks, small plates, or an after-dinner cocktail. Address: Miguel Hidalgo 911, Centro, 68000 Oaxaca de Juárez, Oax., Mexico

Amá Terraza sits atop one of Oaxaca’s oldest buildings, sharing its space with the charming Muss Café. The atmosphere here is laid back yet chic, perfect for catching a beautiful sunset. As the sun dips below the horizon, the terrace is the ideal setting to enjoy a signature cocktail.

Amá Terraza is a small rooftop terrace by the San Pablo Cultural Center. It is a great place to grab a coffee during the day or a glass of wine at night – they even have natural wine by the bottle (which is a big win in my book)!

This chic rooftop restaurant in Oaxaca offers a fusion of traditional Oaxacan and contemporary international cuisine. You’ll find a variety of offerings such as tea, coffee, breakfast foods, desserts and snacks at Amá Terraza.

I am going to group these as they are in the same building but on different levels. Muss Café is a walk-up coffee bar, easy to pop in from the street. Grab a nice coffee and a pastry on the go.
