The Scene:

Even with a map, you'll likely have to stop for directions before arriving to a dirt road leading to NAMM. Its name is synonymous with haute high season dining where celebrity locals like Mario Testino and Alan Faena scoop-up their favorite table for lavish feasts under the exposed sky. The restaurant is located within a dense pine forest on the rim of Jose Ignacio, a short drive from the center or town unless traveling by bike on the dead-end road that passes right by nearby dining competitor Marismo. More supper club than high-end eatery, a bamboo and teak-theme dining room features an open-plan kitchen as well as makeshift wine bar popular of late weekends and holidays. Staff is a mixture of year-round locals who know many patrons by name and always eager to share the best surfing and newest underground nightspots.
