RESTAURANT AHAL
Read moreAhal means "to wake up" in Mayan, and for good reason, the original idea was original to say the least: José thought it was unfair to be the only one to enjoy his wife Lupita's delicious cooking! And if it is love that guided them in the opening of their restaurant, we also find it in the dishes, successful compilation of delicious grandmother's recipes. The setting is very pleasant, both on the terrace and in the interior garden. The welcome is as kind and friendly as the owners. One of our favorite addresses in the whole Yucatán.
TRATTORIA LA PASTA
Read moreIt is a very pleasant Italian restaurant, which will bring you a bit of dolce vita during your visit to Merida. All the cooking has been trained in the Italian way by the chef Alessandro Dolfi: you will find all the authentic flavours of the Old Continent in your plate. We come for the quality of the cuisine and its specialities: Neapolitan pizzas, homemade pasta; but also for the beautiful terrace, in the heart of Paseo Montejo. Add to this an efficient, friendly service and hearty portions: you get an excellent address!
KINICH IZAMAL
Read moreThe high windows of the facade of this old building are enhanced by climbing plants whose colors break the relative chromatic monotony of the streets of the village. One enters through a large room where sofas and sitting areas invite one to sip an agua fresca and to read a book. The restaurant is installed in its extension, under a palapa where the plants are, again, omnipresent. From the kitchen, where you can see wood-burning stoves, the very local aromas honor the Yucatecan gastronomy.
OLIVA ENOTECA
Read moreA very good Italian restaurant in Merida. The elegant setting goes hand in hand with the cuisine. We are dealing here with an aesthetic and tasty research that leads to surprising results: take for example the fried lasagna, served in small cubes, crunchy on the outside, melting on the inside, excellent at all times! For conservative palates, you will find the great classics: carbonara, risotto, tomato-mozzarella... The wine list is well stocked, and the desserts have that little touch of originality that we liked so much.
LA CUEVA DEL CHANGO
Read moreUnder a palapa cradled in tropical vegetation, the "Monkey Cave" offers healthy Mexican cuisine prepared with natural ingredients. Breakfast is varied, including fruit crepes, yogurt, cereals and chilaquiles. At lunchtime, the restaurant serves salads, sandwiches and some Mexican specialties, while in the evening, the new Mexican cuisine is in the spotlight with elaborate fish and seafood specialties, accompanied by sauces made with chili peppers and fruits. Also a great variety of vegan dishes.
LA PARROQUIA
Read moreThe Parroquía is located next to a youth hostel of the same name. By borrowing one or other sidewalk from the street, this restaurant is priceless. It jumps in sight thanks to its huge room, which is perfectly decorated with black and white tiles and high ceilings under ceiling. Economic and popular, the place puts forward regional dishes and offers formulas to take.
ULA GULA BAR&RESTAURANT
Read moreThis restaurant serves Italian and Mediterranean inspiration (pasta, pizza, minestrone), at the rate of the DJs. The tables are practically located on Avenida Avenida, making this establishment a perfect place to start the evening in Playa del Carmen, a cocktail by hand.
NAH BALAM RESTAURANT
Read moreThis is the restaurant at the Holliday Inn in Chetumal. Very good regional and international restaurant in a city where there are very few restaurants. A pleasant atmosphere with piano.
MIRAMAR
Read moreIn a beautiful colonial building, this restaurant serves good Mexican cuisine, which is very close to the marine world. Some dishes are cheap, others much more expensive like those based on camarones. The service is a bit slow, but the atmosphere is pretty good.
LA IGUANA AZUL
Read moreIt is a great old house with dining room, restaurant and bar. Fish, meat and some specialities from home. Pool and outdoor terrace.
RESTAURANT ET CLUB DE PLAGE OJO DE AGUA
Read moreFelix the master of the places is a character, Puerto Morelos owes him a lot, he deals with the diving, the rental of quad, his restaurant facing the sea, the musical animation… In short he is everywhere! Happy hour or rather La Hora Felix everyday from 14 a. m. to 16 p. m.: beer, piñas coladas, margaritas, téquilas in the programme, all in a relaxed atmosphere, both customers and staff. There is a pleasant moment in front of ceviches dishes, fish, spaghetti and other dishes. Excellent buffet breakfast daily from to.
THAI LOUNGE
Read moreBungalows in the middle of a botanical garden, large windows interconnected with a dolphinarium. Thai cuisine quite expensive. One wonders what this kind of settlement does there, but to taste the pieces of chicken-raised chicken, we understand better why the chef likes Mexico. Shame on the fact that prices are a little high.
LA CAZUELA M&J
Read moreThis small, unpretentious family restaurant is known as one of the best places to have breakfast. The room is cheerful and colourful, but it can be hot, so prefer the shady terrace which offers a little more air and the spectacle of the street. The specialities of the house are the "cazuelas", eggs in a casserole with different vegetables, cooked in earthenware ramekins. Fresh fruit juices, omelettes and pancakes of all kinds, accompanied by a very good coffee. The portions are generous and the service is nice.
KONDESA COZUMEL
Read moreKondesa is a gourmet Caribbean Mexican restaurant where you can enjoy fresh, creative dishes with local products. In a bohemian chic style, you can dine under the stars and feel the whole atmosphere of Cozumel. The dishes change according to the season and we recommend you especially the fish dishes. For the amateurs of the local version of land and sea, you have the surf & turf which is an Angus meat served with a local lobster. Very good address, where you can also taste succulent cocktails.
ROLANDI'S RESTAURANTE BAR & PIZZERIA
Read moreThis Italian restaurant serves antipasti, wood-fired pizzas, pasta dishes and other more formal preparations. Although located on noisy Cobá Avenue, the small, shady, planted patio at the back of the restaurant provides a pleasant setting. It is a traditional Cancún restaurant that has its regulars, mainly Mexicans. The atmosphere is therefore family and friendly, which compensates for a correct but not exceptional cuisine for Italian food lovers.
PIZZA PAPI
Read moreThis Italian restaurant is located in the residential area of Mahahual, between the village and the port and commercial complex where the huge ferries dock. Because of its location, it is a restaurant that is mostly frequented by foreigners who live in the area. But it's worth the trip there. The atmosphere is nice, there are regular musical evenings, and the pasta and wood-fired pizzas are really exquisite, much better than those found on the Malecón!
LIMONCELLO
Read moreFirst of all, we must talk about the framework. A so beautiful terrace facing water is not given to everyone. For the rest, we are in a more classical register, with an essentially Italian menu on the map. The chef knows full well the flavours of Tuscany, with seafood products from the Caribbean. But among the Italian dishes, the stinco di "in salmi is not enough to distinguish himself (a calf dish, with Milanese risotto). Good Italian wine List.
