About
Inspired by the Huichol legend about the venado azul, the blue deer, our all-day dining venue, Venazú, synthesizes a modern indoor-outdoor design, an outdoor terrace with sweeping views, and a festive vibe evocative of a Mexican town during a weeklong fiesta. Vibrant local accents—candy-colored striped walls, bright animal masks, and refurbished Mexican baking shelves used as partitions—mix with clean-lined wooden tables and chairs, and natural stone floors. In the communal seating area, contemporary couches and chairs topped with vibrant throw pillows invite you to mingle, while the massive show kitchen presents chefs chatting with guests while they whip up signature dishes. Our all-day restaurant encourages interaction, with an open kitchen, live cooking stations, and an exciting make-your-own-meal area. Wake up to a bountiful breakfast buffet, with a fresh jugo verde (green juice) bar, tropical fruit, and fluffy omelets, cooked to order in front of you

My friend and I did the agave tasting with dinner pairing experience in the “secret garden” area and were absolutely blown away! We loved the atmosphere of the private “secret garden” area and learning about the process of making tequila and how to properly taste and enjoy it. Alonso was our host who took us through the entire dinner- he taught us so much about tequila and was so friendly and made the experience memorable. Chef Fernando’s food was delicious and beautifully presented. He explained each of the dishes so well and we could really taste the love and effort he put into each dish. A 10/10 experience!

…. we stay at te W Punta de Mita and used the place predominantly for breakfast. Decent choice of food where at lower occupation days the service is a la carte and takes a bit longer. Personnel is very friendly and able to accomplish special wishes. Overall high ratings confirmed. The dinner choices and special events are overpriced a bit compared to other equal local options

Venazu is AMAZING, the food has unique taste, great daily made bread and the staff is soo friendly and caregiving. I've never been to a restaurant where ALL the staffade you feel so welcome and accommodate every one of your needs. I was there with my 1 year old and they were super helpful and friendly. I will definitely come back.

A beautiful location and restaurant with terrible service and overpriced food. This location should have been one of the top memories of our trip but instead I spent a lot of money on a sub par restaurant with very poor service. We waited for 15 minutes for a waiter to approach. We then waited another 15 minutes to receive our cocktails and get our appetizers ordered. We then waited over 30 minutes for a waiter to appear and take our dinner order. Dinner came out so late that we had to walk back to the kitchen area to complain. We are not the complaining type and were very relaxed. Our overall dinner took 3 hours and then we were told the kitchen was closed. Too bad.

The attention from the reception with Jess at the entrance left us with a very warm and hospitable feeling, and when it came to ordering both Alberto and Gabriela were always attentive in taking the order of the food and drinks, the good service could not be missing. Axel with his great sense of humor and his introduction to the place and some dishes, as well as Julio, David and Roberto, always aware of any request, my family was delighted with the great work team they are. Thank you very much guys we will be back...

Excellent food and ambiance! The staff is phenomenal - I want to specifically Gabby, one of the best waitresses we’ve ever had. She is so bubbly, professional and knowledgeable - she made our experience so nice, we ate there 3 nights in a row and asked to be seated in her section. Oscar was the best! He brought out our food and explained the ingredients, some history, and the connections between the food and the local culture. Highly recommend!

It is a small restaurant located almost in front of the sea inside the W hotel that offers delicious contemporary Mexican food! The preparation of the dishes shows a lot of care, and the service from the staff is very pleasant. From the welcome by Sairely and Yess to the moment of offering us a comfortable place for us, the service provided by Alberto and Gaby who were super attentive, even the others always offered us assistance, who are Axel, David Roberto, Julio. I recommend going with the family for something casual, even if you are looking to celebrate something.

My girlfriend and I dined at Venazu for breakfast almost everyday and for dinner most nights. The food here is delicious, prepared similar to a restaurant with ‘$$$’ price rating and visually beautiful to look at. You can tell that the chefs and kitchen staff care about the food and put some love into what they put out. What truly makes this a 5 star review is the staff and service. The whole staff at Venazu is amazing! You’re always greeted with a friendly smile, and the wait staff really take care of you as if you were their friends and family. I want to give a BIG shout out to Diego and Alberto. They are both so friendly, and will give you service with a smile. My girlfriend and I were able to dine when it wasn’t too busy, so we got a chance to chat with Diego and Alberto, and they take the time to give some history about the food, history about the hotels location, about Mexico, and any other topic. They take the time to answer your questions and will make sure your food is prepared in whichever way to make you happy. It’s almost feels like they cater their service just to you - that’s how special they make it feel. They are also so thoughtful, bringing out a special birthday dessert for my girlfriend and a farewell dessert TWICE (we extended by a night so ended up getting it two times!) I always had a smile every morning and night I walked into Venazu, not only due to the food but because I knew I’d be in good hands. P.S. Get the chorizo with breakfast and the habanero sauce! An additional shout out to Omar, Julio and Nacho as well!

Beautiful atmosphere. Delicious and fresh food. And very accomodating. Filipe was our server for 2 mornings and he was attentive and sensitive to our food restriction/allergies and even remembered the next morning. He made our experience even more memorable and enjoyable.

Not only is the food out of this world and the scenery completely unmatched, but also this restaurant is home to some of the most amazing and kind waiters you will come across. We went to the W celebrate our honeymoon and pretty much every day went to Venazu. Alberto, David, and Axel did an amazing job making our honeymoon extremely special and taking care of us every day. I highly recommend Venazu if you’re traveling to Nayarit - this place will exceed ALL expectations.

We loved our experience at Venazu. Roberto was our server and he and Oscar, Sayrely, and Dianna took such great care of us. The customer service was incredible and the regional Mexican cuisine was amazing to try and so authentic.

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant during my stay at the W Hotel. The food was not only delicious but also served in perfect portions. The breakfast menu offered fresh juices, delightful açai, and pastries that were simply the best. My favorite was the Benedict eggs with salmon. The dinner exceeded expectations with plates accompanied by delightful sauces, and the salads were refreshingly crisp. I ordered a lovely cake to celebrate my husband's birthday, and it was a hit. The service was outstanding, thanks to the fast and well-coordinated team, especially Roberto, Ignacio "Nacho," and Diana, who were incredibly kind and thoughtful. Although We are heading back to Canada, we are already dreaming of returning soon.

The food and service at the various visits we made to Venazu we're all amazing ! Breakfast and dinner. Roberto was our dinner server and gave us great service and provided expert information about the regional food and different styles of preparation we experienced. Our other servers were equally attentaive and informed. The food at each meal was delicious and expertly prepared. Morning eggs to dinner shrimp tacos or short ribs... You can't go wrong.

Stunning open air restaurant overlooking beach, hear the waves crashing, warm and welcoming staff. Delicious food, huge Sunday buffet and Argentinian barbecues. This hotel property and restaurant deserves highest ratings for fabulous design showcasing fun contemporary Mexican art entwined with ancient Huacal Mexican art.

My experience was made truly enjoyable by the exceptional service provided by our servers, Julio and Alberto. They were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, helping us navigate through the various options. Julio and Alberto's professionalism and warm demeanor added to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Their promptness in taking our orders and ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal made for a delightful dining experience. Their efforts certainly contributed to making the evening memorable.
