One team, two settings

Two venues, two very different moods

Both restaurants share the same kitchen team and the same standard — they just offer different atmospheres. Tell us what you’re imagining and we’ll tell you which one fits.

The Embers tropical patio in Sayulita

The Embers · Sayulita

Hidden in the heart of Sayulita.

A tropical patio tucked under the mango trees, with an upper covered terrace and lounge spaces that shift around your event rather than the other way around.

Candlelight, warm wood, and the kind of setting that makes people stay longer than they planned.

  • Up to 60 guests — seated dinner
  • Up to 150 guests — standing cocktail reception
  • Main patio, covered upper terrace, lounge seating and bar
  • Calle Gaviota Sur #10, Sayulita, Nayarit

Habibi · San Pancho

Mediterranean soul on the Mexican coast.

Warmer, smaller, made for long tables and sharing plates. Habibi is our more intimate space — ideal when you want the whole room to feel like one table.

  • 30–50 guests
  • Outside & inside spaces
  • Air-conditioned interior
  • Open kitchen
  • Calle Africa #49, San Pancho, Nayarit
Long-table dinner at Habibi in San Pancho

Flexible by design

Full buyout or semi-private — you choose

Not every celebration needs the entire restaurant. We work both ways.

In both cases: no venue rental fee. We simply set a minimum spend on food and drinks, which varies by day and season.

01

Full privatization

The whole venue is yours for the evening. Your music, your timeline, your guest list, your decoration. No other diners, no interruptions.

Best for: wedding welcome parties, large birthdays, corporate buyouts and events above 40 guests.

02

Semi-private

We reserve a defined section for your group while the rest stays open. You keep your own space and service without booking the full venue.

Best for: reunions, bachelor or bachelorette dinners, birthdays and groups of 12 to 35.

Food and drinks for a private celebration

The menu

Food & drinks, done right.

Chef Andrea Nardo leads both kitchens with a Mediterranean-meets-tropical menu built around fresh, seasonal ingredients — Italian technique, local produce and coastal seafood.

Seated family-style: generous dishes served at the center of the table to share.

Standing cocktail & canapés: passed bites and stations designed to keep people moving.

Menus are fully customizable, and vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free needs are covered.

What we host

Every reason to gather.

Wedding welcome parties · rehearsal dinners · bachelor and bachelorette parties · birthdays · corporate dinners · family reunions · anniversaries · engagement dinners.

Wedding welcome dinner at The Embers

What people say

“We hosted 50 guests for a welcome dinner at The Embers for our wedding weekend and cannot recommend it enough. Andy was wonderful to work with, and some of our guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding.”

Outside catering by The Embers

Celebrating somewhere else?

We bring the restaurant to you.

If your event is happening at a villa, private estate or another venue, we bring the full kitchen, bar and service team anywhere across the Riviera Nayarit.

How many guests can you accommodate?+

The Embers hosts up to 150 guests standing and 60 seated. Habibi hosts up to 50. For anything larger, we can cater at an outside venue.

Is there a venue rental fee?+

No. We only ask for a minimum spend on food and drinks, which varies by day and season.

What’s the difference between full and semi-private?+

A full buyout makes the entire venue exclusively yours. Semi-private reserves a dedicated section while the restaurant stays open.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?+

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options are available. Tell us in advance and we will build your menu around it.

Can we bring our own DJ or music?+

Absolutely. Bring your own DJ or send us a public playlist. We can also arrange a DJ with about a month of notice.

Can you help with decoration and vendors?+

Yes. We work with trusted local vendors for florals, decoration, music, photography and event logistics.

How far in advance should we book?+

We recommend four to six weeks for private events and two to three months for weddings and peak-season dates.

Do you require a deposit?+

Yes. A deposit secures your date and is fully deductible from your final balance. Cancellation terms are shared with your proposal.
