French Restaurants

We do have French Ex-Pats in Playa del Carmen, so eating authenic French food is easier than ever. From simple baguette sandwiches, to gourmet Coq au Vin, you will find it all.

La Brocherie Bistro

Take a short walk from bustling Fifth Avenue and voilá! La Brocherie brings some fine French flavor and flare to a cozy little joint on 15th street. Their speciality is the roasted chicken, which is delicious in its own right, but they also serve up some wonderful beef bourguignon and other delightful French treats. Bon appetit!

Chez Céline

Av 5ta Calle 34 Norte Esquina

When it comes to pastries, the French really don’t mess around. Beyond the Eiffel Tower clichés, French culture is layered, indulgent, and full of character, and that shows in their food and baked goods. Few cuisines have perfected pastries quite like France has. If you need proof, stop by Chez Céline on your next visit to Playa del Carmen. One bite into their almond croissants and you’ll understand exactly why French baking has such a legendary reputation.
