Fathers who inspire: how to celebrate Father’s Day with style and heart

We celebrate Dad differently: with plans that make him feel special, with details that represent him, and with experiences that will remain in the memory. Because being a dad isn't just about giving advice (although that's also true); it's about being there, supporting, motivating... and, of course, having fun.

Here are some ideas for celebrating it beautifully, whether your dad is the laid-back type, the fun type, or the type who loves good family time.

1. Brunch with a taste of hug

Brunch is always a good idea. Places like Oliva Enoteca, with artisanal pastas, antipasti, fresh salads, and wine from midday, are perfect for pampering Dad the way he deserves. Or you can opt for something more casual but equally delicious at Manifesto, where the sourdough bread, specialty coffee, and creative menu will make him smile. Prefer something quieter, without all the hustle and bustle? Latte Quattro Sette offers a charming garden and shaded tables, ideal for heartfelt conversations and reconnecting.

2. Meat Restaurants in Mérida

If you want to treat Dad to a great meal, consider these steakhouse restaurants:

1. 130° Steakhouse: Offers a contemporary culinary experience with high-quality cuts, accompanied by a selection of wines and cocktails.
2. Mr. Pampas – Mérida: Specializing in Brazilian cuisine, it offers a “Rodizio” system with 30 fine charcoal-grilled cuts of meat and a varied salad and side dish bar.
3. Mochomos – Mérida: Offers signature cuisine with Sonoran influences, notable for its high-quality cuts and seafood.
4. Cienfuegos: The result of a partnership between two local restaurant groups, it offers a gastronomic experience that combines the best of Yucatecan cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere.
5. Sonora Grill – Mérida: Known for its premium cuts like the New York and Rib Eye, it also offers flank steak and brisket tacos in a family-friendly atmosphere with a children's play area.

3. Family experience: day out or relaxation

Sometimes what dad wants most is to spend time with his family. Plan a shared experience:

• Visit Ki'Xocolatl and participate in a chocolate tasting. You'll learn about the origin of cacao and sample exquisite combinations.
• Rent a house with a pool on Airbnb, cook a barbecue, and enjoy the day as if it were a quick vacation.

4. Plans for the adventurous dad

If your dad is one of those who loves to move and try new things, choose activities that break the routine:

• A kayak trip along the Progreso coast is ideal if you love the sea and nature.
• You can organize a bike or motorcycle tour of the Historic Center. Some include stops at cafes, galleries, and iconic buildings.
• A family escape room is fun, cooperative, and full of challenges that strengthen teamwork.

Dad deserves a little pampering too (and a big thank you). It's not about spending a lot, but rather thinking about what he likes, what makes him happy, what makes him feel appreciated. This June, tell him what we sometimes don't say often: thanks for everything, Dad.
