Local restaurants
The award-winning and lively Yaxche Maya Cuisine Restaurant (www.mayacuisine.com) in Playa del Carmen serves Yucatecan and Mayan-inspired dishes with a Euro twist (it's pronounced 'Jag-shey'). Try regional specialities such as Tsotolbichay (Mayan tamale). The newly opened That’s Amore is a casual Roman-style pizzeria, with outdoor tables and great people-watching potential, at 5ta Avenida, between Calles 28 and 30. Linger over a bottle of wine at the romantic and homely La Route des Vins, a popular French bistro at 5ta Avenida (+52 222 296 4978). The food is magnificent – mussels from Mexico’s west coast served with bacon and sour cream, crispy house crêpes and fresh salads such as trout, pear, lettuce and blue cheese.
