The Best Seafood Near Be Playa, by the Record


  1. A thatched, open-air seafood restaurant on the second floor in Puerto Morelos, where the ocean breeze does most of the interior decorating. The menu moves between traditional Mexican flavors and the occasional Provençal detour without making a fuss about it, and the ceviches and gorditas stuffed with roasted octopus are the kind of starters that quietly derail any plan to order light. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.


  2. Outdoor tables line the road through Puerto Juárez at this relaxed, open-air seafood spot, where the menu runs long and the blackboard runs longer. Everything comes from the local market, cooked in the regional style, and the portions are generous enough to make dessert feel optimistic. Order it anyway. The Michelin Guide has it selected, which tracks for a place where locals and curious visitors end up at the same table without anyone planning it that way.
