What sets the gastronomic offerings of this region apart is an important culinary movement, with chefs from all over the world in charge of the kitchens of hotels and restaurants, resulting in a mosaic of culinary wealth where food is understood in a different way. The list of specialties is infinite: from Mexican fare with all its regional varieties to the most refined international cuisine.

There are authentic, innovative, elegant and casual restaurants. By experimenting with new techniques, using new ingredients and fusing culinary styles, the chefs achieve dishes that are a delight for all the senses. It is no surprise that many of the destination’s restaurants are listed among the best in specialized travel magazines and receive awards from the Michelin guide and AAA, among other important associations. The H Award and Crystal Certificate, among others, are a clear example of the high standards of quality and hygiene offered by Cancun's restaurants.

Excellence is always a common denominator in the destination’s culinary experience. The beautiful settings are part of the enjoyment of a stay here: a thatched roof “palapa” by the sea or views of sunsets on the beautiful lagoon, both accompanied by the sound of violins, pianos, saxophones, mariachis and jaraneros.

Once again Cancun breaks the rule of traditional gastronomy, showing that this is a place where the traveler’s palate can experience delicious flavors and learn about the subtleties of food, set against the background of its incomparable natural beauty.

Some eighty of our over 200 restaurants are considered “tourist class” establishments and offer such amenities as live music, kid’s play areas, highchairs, handicapped facilities, on-site parking and even Braille menus. Cancun’s dining scene may depend on whether your clients choose an EP or an all-inclusive (AI)resort. You’ll also find plenty of dining variety at our more than 60 AI properties, ranging from Mexican, to Italian, to Asian to steaks.
