dining

babe’s noodle bar
big bowls, low prices, and the very best mojitos in town bring regulars back nightly. this laid back eatery serves up such tasty thai cuisine that they’ve had to open a second location to handle the crowds. try either. heck, try both. you’ll love it. original location on calle 10 between 5th and 10th avenues. new location on 5th avenue between calle 28 and 30.

yaxche
no trip to playa is complete without experiencing the unique cuisine native to the region. the most popular yucatecan establishment in town, yaxche offers a wide selection of the area’s most delicious mayan recipes. the restaurant prepares many dishes from complex recipes that have not changed in hundreds of years. with an ever- changing menu and romantic garden-side tables, a reservation at yaxche is suggested. located on calle 8 between 5th and 10th avenues.

casa mediterranea
fresh antipasto, pastas homemade daily, a bottle of red wine, tiramisu for desert. owned and operated by italians who have relocated to playa, casa mediterranea treats guests to a truly intimate dining experience. arrive early or late – the ten tables fill up quickly. located in a small garden just off 5th avenue between calle 6 and 8, across from hotel lunata.
