Amalia Sofia Restaurant Bar Hotel Villas Azucenas

Even though Zihuatenejo has recently become a foodie town, most tourists are very happy to exist on the fresh huachinango or coconut shrimp.. Eventually they hunger for something more-more gourmet, more complex , just more. Amelia Sofia delivers. Their seafood stuffed relleno is divine. Their bacon wrapped shrimp in chipotle cream is muy delicioso.This restaurant is rarely full because it is a little difficult to find. It is on the rooftop of the boutique hotel Azucenas, on lovely Playa La Ropa. Also, only those who can climb the stairs to that rooftop need try to eat there. BUT, the view and the food are MORE!

The restaurant is up a number of flights of stairs. The view is lovely and there is a nice breeze after dark. Had the coconut shrimp which were at best Ok. The beef fajitas were served. Old and even after having them reheated were tasteless. The single waitress was run ragged trying to serve four tables. This is just not worth the effort.

We have eaten here for the past several years and have never been disappointed but tonight was an exceptionally amazing dinner. We shared the Zihua salad and Shrimp Kabobs--amazing view of sunset, incredible service and outstanding food!

Had an early dinner here last night. Food was very fresh and delicious. We had two different salads and two different entrees. Fish filet stuffed with seasonal vegetables and coconut shrimp. Both very good. Service was friendly and prompt. Outstanding view.

We were staying at this charming hotel and ate at the rooftop restaurant a couple of times. The food was fantastic and would be perfect for a romantic evening. The entrance is on the street and then up a few flights of stairs to the top and then you see the beauty of the view and surroundings with soft lighting and a reflective pool. No elevator, so might be challenging for someone with mobility issues. We each had a lovely meal prepared expertly. I had the mixed seafood ceviche which I may not trust everywhere, but here it was wonderful. Well-worth the stair climb for a special evening. The pricing is in line with a higher-end restaurant.
