The presence of affluent tourists makes the owners of food establishments compete fiercely for customers. Riviera Maya's numerous bars and restaurants offer a diverse range of traditional Mexican and international cuisine. The proximity of the sea adds an original touch. In the best restaurants of Riviera Maya, you can taste exquisite sea specialties and seafood dishes.
The most popular and crowded restaurants and bars are in Playadell Carmen. The freshest lobster is served at AjuaMaya. It's also where local musicians play jazz in the evenings. Reviews of dining at one of the Riviera Maya's most attractive establishments are favorable.
We also recommend a visit to Yaxche Restaurant, which specializes in Mayan dishes.
A successful combination of Caribbean and European culinary traditions can be seen at Casadel Agua. That's because the restaurant's owners are of Mexican-German descent. If you miss the usual Italian cuisine, our recommendation is Cenacolo restaurant in the boutique hotel Quinto Sol. Unfortunately, there are no Russian restaurants in Riviera Maya.
The Riviera Maya's lineup of affordable restaurants is led by Siesta Fiesta Bar Fah, a restaurant and bar specializing in Mayan cuisine. Not only is the food delicious and reasonably priced, but there's also live music with a diverse selection of musicians from blues to rock.
Prices in Riviera Maya restaurants are in line with the level and class of the establishments. Naturally, the price of burritos at Riviera Maya's cafes is minimal, but for the pleasure of dining in the gourmet paradise of Grand Velas All Suites & Spa Resort Riviera Maya, you'll pay from MXN 5,000 per person.
