We stopped here for a light dinner of appetizers and a few beers. The food was good, but it's obvious the draw is the gorgeous view. They had a few tasty sounding drinks on the menu as well, but we did not bring enough cash to try them - maybe next time! The service was only alright, it seemed like... More

While it's a trek to get to the restaurant, it's well worth it. The view is incredible. Make sure to make a reservation, we were lucky that a table was open without a reservation. The food was delicious, the pecan tart AMAZING. Best meal we had while staying in Santa Teresa.

This place was excellent all around! This place had an amazing view, atmosphere, service and food. My steak was amazing and my husband raved about the fish. Try the special Bellini's.

We stopped at Brisas for dessert on our last evening in Santa Teresa and were so disappointed that we did not find it sooner. The views and atmosphere are just unbelievable! We only had drinks and dessert but it was such an amazing brownie and ice cream. The food smelled phenomenal so we can't wait to get the full experience... More

Amazing view and setting up on a hill with a original menu that included the best and freshest fish Ive had yet. Atmosphere was warm, welcoming and very family friendly.

We went there on the last day of our visit at Santa Teresa and immediately we wished we should have been there earlier. Brisas is located on the top of the hill a short drive from the main road. The view of the ocean and the beach from the deck is breathtaking. Great place to watch the sunset. The food... More

We were referred here by a yoga instructor a few nights ago. We met some friends here and it was the best food we had. I ordered the penned with mushrooms, spinach and shrimp. It was delicious. We also had the calimari appetizer that was the freshest calimari we all have ever tasted. The setting is unique and picturesque. It... More

The food was great here. The main dining area is set on an outdoor deck which overlooks Playa Carmen from the hillside. The menu is small but offers a wide variety of fresh seafood and steak entrees. It is also one of the few places in town that serves Micro brew from the Brewery in town. If you are staying... More
