When choosing a destination, there are many things to consider, the weather, cultural offering, facilities, etc., but one of the absolute deal-breakers is the country’s culinary offering.
We are all well aware of the beauty of the Riviera Maya, its stunning beaches, the weather and good vibes, but today we are going to focus on its gastronomy. The possibilities are endless, and if you set your mind to it, you can discover new flavours every day.
Here are some recommendations that you can’t afford to pass up on!
Ámbar Restaurant:
Fusion cuisine in an exclusive environment overlooking a beautiful lagoon – think gourmet Mexican cuisine and local recipes with a nouvelle cuisine approach, prepared with the finest ingredients. How about starting with a tuna tataki crusted with dried chilli and chapulin, guacamole and spicy ponzu sauce? Sounds tempting, right? After, you can try a bacon-wrapped chicken supreme stuffed with Oaxaca cheese, spinach and mushrooms with almond and black moles. And if you still have room for desserts, why not feast on a Chocolate and Guajillo Chile Tamale, Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, Vanilla Cream or Toffee Ice Cream.
Aguamarina Restaurant:
With a fresh boho-chic design in an informal setting, Aguamarina offers à la carte international cuisine with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea from its spectacular terrace on the beachfront. We recommend starting with a Tuscan salad with feta cheese, peppers, cranberry, bacon and olive vinaigrette or cream of asparagus with Serrano ham shavings. As a main dish, the tuna loin with peach curry, rice, veg and coconut is out of this world, and you will surely want to repeat the deserts if you try the almond blondie with brandy cherry compote or the cheese ice cream with blackberries.
Ceviche Snack Bar:
A great place to grab a quick bite to eat or savour the daily selection of fresh fish and seafood ceviche dishes. Delicious burgers, pizzas and cakes complete the offering in a gastronomic space that allows you to enjoy the Caribbean jungle from the Mayan fashioned restaurant.
Bruleé café:
And if you are looking for something more exotic… How about enjoying a coffee, succulent salty croissants or a dessert under
a building shaped like a Caribbean palapa? This space is placed on a mirror of water and its environment, surrounded by plants of the local vegetation, invites guests to sit down to read or rest while they relax.
And if you are wondering where is the best spot to enjoy all of these delicacies, look no further. You can enjoy this culinary tour by staying at the Blue Diamond Luxury Boutique, an adults-only hotel just 10 minutes north of Playa del Carmen, amid15 hectares of tropical forest, stunning landscaped gardens and palm tree laden beaches.
