Like in the Mexican southeast region, there is a very special cuisine in the Mayan Riviera that you must delight in. To a great extent, it's the result of mixing Yucatecan cuisine, fish and seafood, and international cuisine, which is very popular in this cosmopolitan destination. Besides the food, and the exotic and delicious special dishes, many restaurants in Playa del Carmen are famous for their architectural and interior design, as well as their branding and image.
That's why we want to share our top 5 recommendations with you. The restaurants are in random order.
1. Chiltepín Marisquillos
34th Ave & 20th Ave.
11:00am-11:00pm
Although this isn't the only one Chiltepín Marisquillos in town, guests prefer this one on 34th Ave. Great service, taste and food. Please try the tacos and tostadas.
2. El Oasis
12th North Street between 5th Ave & 7th Ave.
24 hours.
If you want fresh seafood, fish, paella, and fruit juices and drinks... well, you can find those here. Desserts are also a must to enjoy with coffee.
3. Pavo Real by the Sea
Cancún-Chetumal Road, Km5 #307.
8:00am-11:00pm
Although it's a more expensive option, it's worth it. Next to the sea, in a private and unique location in Playa Maroma, it's great for romantic dinners and celebrations.
4. Las hijas de la tostada
5th Ave & 38th Street.
12:01pm-11:59pm
Great place, and the customer's service is very nice. You won't find common tostadas here, but a different and tasty version of them. Nice view of the Caribbean Sea from the terrace.
5. La fishería
5th Ave between 20th & 22th St.
12:00pm-12:00am
Located in 5th Ave, this is a very famous place. Aquiles Chávez, the chef, designed the menu. The place and vibe are nice and fun.
At Happy Address we want you to have an incredible trip, that's why we are sharing the former 5 recommendations with you. However, if you want to chill out in your apartment, remember that we offer the private chef service.
