Restaurants here vary from quirky beachside affairs with outdoor tables and palapas to more elaborate and sophisticated establishments. Dress is casual at most places, so leave your tie and jacket at home. Smaller eateries may not accept credit cards, especially in remote beach villages. Bigger ones and those in hotels normally accept plastic. Many restaurants add propinas (tips) to the bill; look for a charge for "servicio." If tips aren’t included, a 15% gratuity is standard. It's best to order fresh local fish—grouper, dorado, red snapper, and sea bass—rather than shellfish like shrimp, lobster, and oysters, since the latter are often flown in frozen from the Gulf. Playa del Carmen has the largest selection of restaurants.
For the best food you'll find along the beach road (and one of only a few options open for dinner after 10 pm), make your way to Eden Tulum. The creative Uruguayan chef is a seafood lover, so make sure to ask about the catch of the day. If you aren't passionate about seafood, don't worry—dishes like the Nest (a soft-boiled egg on a nest of eggplant), Chicken Mourceaux (boneless chicken wings served on a flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth corn mash), and Chocolate Decadence (with mocha-jalapeño ice cream) are showstoppers in their own right. The open-air dining room has luxurious bed and couch seating around the central pool, where kids and adults can enjoy a predinner dip. Couples will love the candlelit ambience and cocktail aficionados won't want to miss the pre-Hispanic liquors crafted into thoughtful drinks. In high season, Fridays feature live jazz shows and Saturdays are DJ nights.
