“Comida riquisima...excellent food si si si”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

Try the fish (mero) or the snails (caracoles) or for that matter have breakfast there as well. Their coffee and chocolate croissants are to die for. What a treat while travelling "low budget" we splurged with this place and so glad we did. I had to furtively lick the plate with the chocolate dessert...well maybe it was the wine or tequila that made me do it, but we have been back 5 times in the last 2 months. Service is fabulous, food is outrageous. !Excelente!

“Tasty food and nice prices”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

We stopped in here for a quick lunch and were very happy we did. Nice menu selection and we each ordered a baguette sandwich (one prosciutto with goat cheese, one fresh roast beef) which were listed as small plates. They were VERY generous plus came with a green salad to boot. At something like $5USD each, this was impossible to beat! They both were delicious and fresh. Also tried a crepe with meat and cheese which was also much enjoyed. Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you are in Tulum.

“Favourite restaurant in Tulum!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

The manager at our hostel recommended this French restaurant to us. And after meeting the owner by chance on the beach we decided we had to go, since he was such a friendly guy. It turned out to be an amazing dinner! Our best meal in Mexico for sure! We decided to go back for breakfast in the morning and it was great too! Really affordable considering how great the food was!

“I felt like I was eating at home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 6, 2012

its my first time in Mexico and visiting some relatives they bring me to some restaurant in Tulum. Being Belgian I love the good food and After having spent 4 months in the usa I was so happy to taste a very good food again ! I felt like at home, it was just delicious ! whats better than a French restaurant managed by a French ? if you want to try a dessert you have to try "la mousse au chocolat" ! Enjoy it its really worthy !
