A Greek Dinner to Welcome 2027
Ilios, the Greek estiatorio in Tulum's Hotel Zone, closes out the year with a three-course New Year's Eve menu. You choose one appetizer, one main and one dessert from a set list, and the kitchen builds the evening around the same contemporary Greek and Mediterranean cooking the room is known for. The price is MXN $6,000 per person. To reserve, full pre-payment is required.
The Three-Course Menu, Course by Course
The appetizer is one of four: a Greek salad, fattoush, truffled beef carpaccio, or oktopodi selino, which is octopus with potatoes, celery and citrus. For the main you choose between spaghetti Meraki with roasted mushrooms, asparagus and truffle oil; Ilios orzo with crab and crispy soft-shell crab; Colorado rack of lamb with tabbouleh and muhammara; or stone-oven baked totoaba. Dessert is a choice of sokolatina or baklava. It is a set menu built for the night, drawing on the same kitchen that works through grilled octopus, lamb and whole fresh fish on an ordinary evening. Gratuity is optional.
Fire Dancers, Sirtaki and Plate Smashing
Ilios runs a dinner with a show, and that same programme shapes New Year's Eve. Dinner begins in the evening, and the entertainment usually starts between 9 PM and 10 PM: the lights dim for aerial fire dancing, belly dancing and table-side performances. Sirtaki circle dancing pulls guests up from their tables, and Greek plate smashing adds the interactive tradition the room is built around. Live DJ sets carry the later part of the evening, moving the dining room toward a late-night atmosphere, with hookah available during the late-night part of the night. Food is served throughout the show rather than before it, so the meal and the performance run together across the night.
The Room and the Setting
Ilios is a Greek and Mediterranean dining room launched by Grupo Anderson's in 2020, drawing on cooking from different regions of Greece. Rustic stone walls, olive trees and soft lighting reference the Greek landscape, and service stays attentive as performers begin moving between the tables and the music grows louder. It remains a restaurant first, with staff managing drinks, dishes and group celebrations while the show continues around the room. The space suits couples as well as birthday groups and larger celebrations. A dress code applies: smart casual or elegant clothing is required, and swimwear, athletic wear and beach attire are not accepted.
Where the Night Sits on the Beach Road
The restaurant is in the Hotel Zone near Bagatelle, Bonbonniere, Vagalume and Porfirio's, so you can continue from dinner to several established party venues without leaving this stretch of the beach road. That makes Ilios a strong choice for groups that want dinner to become part of a longer evening out, with the full show taking place inside the dining room. An earlier table gives more attention to the meal, while a later booking places the entertainment at the centre of the visit. On New Year's Eve, the room builds toward a midnight countdown to mark the turn into 2027.
