Fodor's Expert Review John Gray's Kitchen

Next to the jungle, this restaurant draws a regular crowd of Cancún and Playa residents. Using only the freshest ingredients—from local fruits and vegetables to seafood right off the pier—the chefs work their magic in a comfortable, contemporary setting that feels more Manhattan than Mayan. Don't miss the tender roasted duck breast with tequila, chipotle, and honey; another great option is coronado, a local white fish grilled to perfection and served with pesto and cilantro. The menu changes weekly, so repeat guests are always in for a treat.
