The best seafood restaurants Yucatán Peninsula

The "Grotte du pêcheur" is a nice little restaurant installed under illuminated trees in the evening. It distinguishes itself from the other establishments by the welcome of the owner, of a great simplicity without losing in friendliness, quite the contrary. The atmosphere is quiet and family. The fish and seafood dishes are good and their prices are much more accessible than those of the restaurants located on the beach. There are also some small typically Mexican snacks, such as tacos or empanadas. A very good time in perspective.

A small and very nice place that sends superb tostadas (grilled corn cakes) of fish and seafood. For cold dishes, let yourself be tempted by the ceviche or aguachile tostadas (octopus, shrimp, tuna, salmon or local fish). Looking for a hot dish? Go for the grilled or marinated tuna, coconut shrimp or even the vampire tostadas with melted cheese and garlic. De-li-cious. Various cocktails and beers for a friendly aperitif around an excellent guacamole or a basil hummus.

If you like to eat well, get off the beaten track, make the detour to this family restaurant which is a little set back from the tourist area, several blocks from the beach. The locals come here to eat generous fish and shellfish dishes, at more than affordable prices... The restaurant, which doesn't look like much, is on the second floor of a house and is recognizable by its facade, which is decorated with a mural fresco. You won't have any trouble to find it, all the taxis in Progreso know the address...

Excellent fish and seafood. Paella is highly recommended, such as lobster ($ 350), or shrimp to sea salt infused with lavender oil. Andrés loves the good food. Nice atmosphere.
