I need recommendations on great restaurants in Cancun. <BR>

There are so many to choose from. But here are a few, Maria Bonitas for mexican. Angus steak house for steak and seafood, Paricos for mexican Lorenzillos for italian

When you get to the airport they will hand you brouchures - one will be called <BR>Cancun Menus. This booklet does a good job of covering the more popular tourist restaurants. Try Captains Cove for a breakfast/brunch buffet.

I have several recommendations, including addresses on my Web site at oneeyed.homestead.com. Except for Captain's Cove, most are downtown.

We recommend downtown restaurants (el centro), much better value, seem more authentic. Try Rosa Mexicana (Mexican, strolling musicians); La Parilla (the grill) they prepare some of the dishes at your table, live jazz, open courtyard; El Pescador (the fisherman) all good prices. When walking downtown, men will offer you free drink cards for some of these places. Take them.

The Plantation House is extremely elegant and has a terrific wine list. La Joya, located at the Fiesta Americana Coral Beach, is also fanastic. Finally, I would recommend U'Mediterraneo (at the Forum Mall) -- be sure to order the flambe for dessert.

the best rest. in cancun are in cancun city(downtown)
