Oh Lala! - $$$, $$$$

14th bis street between 10th and 15th Ave.
Voted the #1 restaurant in Playa del Carmen on TripAdvisor, Oh Lala! There's a reason why this urban eatery owned and managed by Chef George and Mikaela is such a fan favorite. As if a tribute to Playa del Carmen and the diversity of its people, Oh Lala! serves up some of the best international cuisine you'll find just about anywhere. However, with just 9 tables you'll enjoy an intimate experience but make sure to RSVP.

Casa del Agua - $$$, $$$$

5th Ave. and 2nd Street

This elegant restaurant offers different environments ranging from a wine bar, to a roof garden and the terrace overlooking 5th avenue. Regardless of the area, the gourmet food is sure to please and the wine cellar has over 300 labels from around the world.

Mayan Bistro - $$

Corner of 10th Avenue and 22nd Street
Many people aren't aware of this quality restaurant tucked away in the boutique hotel known as Aventuras Mayas. We hope that changes. The Mayan Bistro serves up international fare with a Mexican flair backed up by tasty cocktails made by the talented bartender. The prices are more than reasonable for the quality, and the quaint atmosphere provides a great backdrop for a night out with friends or that special someone.
