The best restaurants Playa Del Carmen

The setting is not very nice with its plastic tables and its Coca-Cola decoration, but the welcome is warm and typical in this restaurant at the corner of two streets. It is a place to know if you want to taste the authentic cuisine of the Yucatán peninsula and to immerse yourself in a much more local and family atmosphere than the touristy areas. Here, caldos de pollo are all the rage and you can find empanadas, salbutes and panuchos with unbeatable value for money. Good licuados with melon or strawberry are also available for refreshment.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the commercial streets, here is a haven of peace with tropical architecture on two floors, surrounded by green plants and decorated with dream catchers. Waffles, pancakes, pastries, eggs Benedict with Paris ham, cassolettes or a full brunch to start the day. Then sandwiches, toast or croque-monsieur for lunch. A place for local regulars, where the flavors honor the "0% waste" concept claimed by the family at the head of this beautiful project. To visit at least once during your stay in Playa.

A little piece of France in this artisanal bakery located in the heart of Quinta Avenida de Playa. Fresh and homemade products as we like them. It's a good place to have a French breakfast, with combos including fruit juice, bread and a crispy croissant or the house specialty, the brioche. You are served quickly, with a smile. Many pastries, pains au chocolat, quiches, croque-monsieur and various sandwiches are available. A good address to treat yourself in this busy street.

Under 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.

This 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.

The aboriginal people are loyal to this casual and trendy restaurant. The bread is home and the dishes come from a beautiful Asian-Caribbean fusion. Babe's 2 opened beside the Maktub.

The tree planted in the middle of the terrace is there to remember that everything is 100% natural. Is the kitchen dotted with banana trees? This chain serves vegetarian and economic dishes (burgers with soy, etc.).

Excellent meat restaurant on the most famous avenue in Playa. Given its location, the pieces of meat are much more expensive than elsewhere, and it is not here that we make savings.

Belleville is the new French bakery and pastry shop in Playa del Carmen. It offers French pastries, breakfasts, sandwiches, coffee and juices. It is certainly more out of the tourist area than others, but it offers quality products and lower prices. The bread is natural sourdough with a long period of growth and fermentation, which makes all the difference. Go there with your eyes closed to buy bread and pastries or to eat in the cafeteria.
