Rainforest Café

A wonderful eating place among thunders, rainforest, gorillas and other fake animals with natural sounds music. Great pastas and excellent chicken wings. A favorite for children.

Lorenzillo's

For a lobster lover no place on earth is closer to paradise than Lorenzillo´s, on the lagoon in Cancun's Hotel Zone. That's because no one sees to the catching, caring, feeding and preparation of lobster like Lorenzillo´s. No place in the world. Think of this. A restaurant which has its own lobster farm containing as many as 10,000 lobsters at a time.

A great place for eating healthy. Three locations, one in the Plaza Kukulkan, one in Plaza Terramar and one in the downtown. All offer great fresh juices (huge portions), salads and healthy main dishes.

La Brisa

A delightful palapa restaurant situated right on the beach. Enjoy the relaxed ambiance and the superb, freshly sought seafood.

Blue Bayou

Bogart's

One of the nicest restaurants in Cancun is Bogart's located next to the Krystal Hotel. The most popular dish is Raviolis filled with lobster and saffron sauce. There are crepes filled with provolone cheese, caviar and sour crème. The best drink is the Barbotage, that has champagne, drops of lime and cognac, just delicious.

Casa Rolandi

Located in Plaza Caracol, is a quaint airy place with many special nooks and crannies holding plants and hidden lights. Since Casa Rolandi´s trademark is the wood-burning oven, their cuts are grilled just perfectly. Also in Isla Mujeres.

La Habichuela

La Habichuela, which means stringbean, is a romantic restaurant right down to the Mayan garden. The restaurant most famous dish is the Cocobichuela, shell garnished with tropical fruits. At the bottom of the coconut there is white rice. It is delightful and exquisite.

Houlihan´s

Great American food and very large portions, although the atmosphere is more like an English pub. Chicken specialties are the best choice here. Located on the second floor of Plaza Kukulkan, Houlihan´s has one of the best views of Nichupte Lagoon. A great place to watch the sunset !

La Dolce Vita

The philosophy of this place -which has positioned it among the favorites of both locals and tourists- has always been good service and top quality ingredients. The tranquility that floats in this restaurant and the accessibility of the owners, who are always on hand for support, are one of the main reasons why everybody is so happy to work here and has been so for all these years.

La Destileria

One important aspect of La Destileria, it's menu is Mexican food, regional basically traditional plates for the state of Jalisco since it was there where tequila was born. Typical plates like tortas ahogadas, birria, menudo, ceviche Nayarit style, among many other Mexican specialties, are going to lure clients from everywhere. This cuisine will be complemented with other regional dishes like a wide variety of moles.

The Porterhouse Grill

One of Cancun's premier steak houses, this is elegant dining in the Mexican Caribbean. Al cuts of beef are USDA Prime and Choice which guarantees a great meal. Extra large portions are served here so it is best to either be very hungry or be willing to share. They also have some lovely lamb and lobster dishes. Be sure to leave room for dessert as they have some of the greatest such as the New Orleans Bread Pudding in Añejo Rum Sauce.

Pericos

Every order in Pericos Restaurant is served with a side of fun. Waiters dressed as Pancho Villa and crew walk around the restaurant pulling harmless pranks on unsuspecting patrons. All of these hi-jinks take place with marimbas and mariachis playing in the background.

Cambalache

With Argentine music, almost all tangos, playing softly in the background and a bottle of nice, Argentinean red wine, your meal at Cambalache is a totally gratifying experience.

La Fisheria

Seafood is the specialty at La Fisheria. This restaurant offers a wide variety of fresh fish to satisfy the most demanding palates, like boquinete, swordfish, salmon and trout, among many other delicacies.

Iguana Wana

The restaurant's kitchen is open to the public. In fact, it is practically in the service area, one can see all the way through it. The purpose of having the kitchen in such a way that everybody can see right through it is so that the client is able to see how his food is being prepared. People have given very positive feedback on this decision. They may choose each and every ingredient for their omelette plus they get to watch how the cook prepares it.
