Cozumel Restaurants and Bars have exploded on
the scene and taken everyone's palate by surprise!
There was a time very long ago (in a galaxy far far away) when
you had to buy your meals every day at three locations. First you went to
the marcado, then you might want some fresh bread so you would go to the
bakery. And lastly, it would depend on if you wanted fish fresh or meat with
your meal (the word vegetarian hadn't been invented on Cozumel at that
time). You could buy direct from the fisherman who sold right off the boat
on the south side of the municipal pier, or if you wanted meat, you would
have to scavenger around and spend half your day in search fresh
ingredients. If you wanted wine with your meal; at least that was easy. You
could order red or white wine (both made by Calafia, the only wine sold on
the island back then).
Now, lets get down to the reason why this page was constructed!
Since Cozumelmexico.net has become popular we have been getting
a lot of inquiries about where the best places to eat and drink are. You can
find our many restaurant and bar web sites all over the internet but I've
decided it would be easier and more informative to put them all on one page
with links. You can go to the web site simply by clicking on the pictures
next to the description (if there is a web site). And most importantly,
please always remember; Cozumelmexico.net does not accept payment from
ANYBODY for making recommendations or links. Our primary objective is that
you have the best vacation possible on Cozumel and that you will come back
time and time again (and tell your friends). So, sit back and enjoy a taste
of the best that Cozumel has to offer!
One of the oldest local restaurants is now serving coconut lionfish! If you have never tried it before you are in for a real treat! It is simply delicious. Click on the picture on the right for more details.
February 16th, 2012 was my first visit to La Tienda Guido's. A new and refreshing way to spend a mid moring with friends! For more information click here!
Lets start with my all time favorite Cozumel restaurant; The
Lobster House. Fernando Sr. started it when he bought a whole warehouse full
of fishing equipment 35 years ago and used these treasures to create this
most unique environment. If you ever wondered what it was like in Cozumel
all those many years ago; The Lobster House is a must see!
Of course to visit their web site simply click on the picture to
the right which was taken several years ago right on the side of the
restaurant. Quite charming indeed!
Anyone who is familiar with Cozumel knows that La Cocay is by far the
finest restaurant to grace the island. Yes it is on the pricy side. But you
know the old saying. You get what you pay for! Gary and Kathy are the owners
and their staff of waiters and bartenders are efficient, attentive, and
always make everyone feel extra special. My favorite is the filet with demi
glaze sauce. Although I recently had a fish meal with a mildly hot and very
flavorful sauce that was extrodinary. Their link is on the picture (which was taken April 8th, 2008, in the back section of the restaurant).
Everyone always comments on my
Cozumel Beachesmap; but one beach that is not on the
map is actually one of the most fun places to hang out in town. It is called
the No Name Bar. It is located on the main drag and you will have to just
about use a microscope to find the entrance but believe me, it's there. Grant used to
work on the cruise ship circuit so of course you will find a lot of crew
members hanging around most of the day. It is located just across from the
New Mega Supermarket. The picture on the right will take you there!
What can I say about the French Quarter?
Well, for starters, Mike Slaughter (the owner) has been on the island for a
long time and has gained a reputation as being one of the kindest and most
honest people you would ever want to know (although he can seem a little
cranky sometimes) :-)
Now, the food is REAL New Orleans and the taste is
definitely authentic. Not only is Mike from Cajun country, but he brings it
home to Cozumel and for that I thank him.
As you will see there are plenty
of places to eat Mexican food so no worries there! Just
remember to bring your wallet!
