This casual restaurant, with its bright tablecloths and bamboo-covered walls, has two different chefs. Starting at 7 AM, the first chef cooks up hearty breakfasts of omelets and hash browns with freshly brewed coffee. Later in the day, however, the second chef switches to Asian-fusion-style lunches and dinners, including a knockout shrimp tempura, vegetable stir-fry, and chicken satay in a spicy peanut sauce. Some evenings, there's live salsa or Caribbean music, and the place fills with locals until around midnight.

We vacationed in Isla Mujeres this last February & had a few meals at Bamboo. We ate breakfast there every day & they do a consistently good breakfast. Good coffe too. One night the manager suggested that we try the Black Grouper & were we ever glad we did! It was by far the most memorable meal I have ever had in my life! Anybody who gets a chance to try this most certainly should. We had fresh lobster the next night, also at Bamboo, & although it was really good, I was wishing that I had ordered the black grouper 2 nights in a row. We intend to go back to Isla, & when we do we will be eating at Bamboo.
