Cosmopolitan, sumptuous and innovative, these are the essence of the gastronomic menu of Cancun, a tourist pearl in the Mexican Caribbean where it is possible to rejoice your palate with appetising delights coming from the five continents. It is a true carnival of taste, capable of seducing the most demanding gourmets.

Restaurants in Cancun based their menus on dishes of the sophisticated international cuisine, especially the European, during the early years of its tourist development; however, the gastronomic curiosity of the tourists opened a space for the spicy and always well seasoned dishes of traditional Mexican food.

Later the fusion of flavours would come, bringing the advent of provocative delicatessens such as the motuleño eggs, based on tortillas, beans, cheese and jam, perfect for breakfast; the pibil chicken where the well seasoned preys are wrapped in banana leafs and cooked by steam; or the singular soup of lima, a clear chicken soup with toasts and the juice of this citric.

The fact is that Cancun is not only impressive for its superb hotel compounds, but also for its more than 350 restaurants of variegated styles and specialties, with lavish interiors such as those on Kukulkán Drive, where the pleasure of eating is complemented with music shows, or plain and welcoming as those in the town.

Whichever you choose, they all share a common seal: the neat attention and the good food, be it French, Italian, Asian or Mexican (with establishments selling tacos and whims)… and of course, we cannot fail to mention the succulent dishes based on fish and seafood.

Vegetarian food also has its room on the beaches of Cancun, so do not worry and enjoy the delicious and healthy meals based on vegetables and fruit juices.

Remember you are in Mexico when the time for a drink comes, so feel encouraged trying a tequila, or the regional beverage called balché, prepared with the bark of the homonymous tree and honey.

Cheers and bon appetite.
