Imprevist - Painted booth seating - Vegetarian Near Me - Playa del Carmen, ROO

I was staying on the same street and decided to try this quaint place as they offer a 15 percent discount to guests of Villas Sacbe. We went for breakfast and you can choose from a prix fix menu. They have a continental and a full-fledged breakfast. Where else do they offer cappucino or latte without charging you more for your continental breakfast. My continental breakfast was $140 pesos, about $8USD. Not cheap but well worth it. The basket of pastries was abundant and so was the plate of tropical fruit. You get to choose a fresh orange or green juice. Not only was the dining experience pleasant but Chalida, the Thai waitress whose English is better than Spanish, and Pedro were very customer service oriented and genuinely nice. My friend had the Nutella pancakes. She had had pancakes there a few days ago and raved about them. read more

This place seems to be closed now. We stayed at a hotel near by, walked by everyday. Their sign is gone, it's an Asian diner restaurant called Kobma. Was never opened for breakfast or lunch. read more

This is a lovely little secret spot in Playa Del Carmen. Intimate with an Upscale feel to it. It's not very "Mexican themed" if you are looking to wear a Sombrero and have a mariachi band - it's not the place, but if you are looking for a nice romantic find with a great menu and good wine selection - this is a great spot. There is no shortage of your traditional Mexican fare in PDC, so this is nice when you have been to your share of them and want a little break from margaritas and chips. (not that there is anything wrong with that - we all love it) We were here for a late dinner and really enjoyed it. I wish we could have come back for breakfast, I hear they have some nice Pan and great coffee. Cute little street too! read more

Brought breakfast package with hotel stay and the food is very good here. I'm excited to be here for seven days so I can try something different everyday. The service is excellent and the staff is friendly. I would recommend you stop by if you are in playa. Cheers! read more

Imprevist - Enchiladas Rojas. Mmmm! - Vegetarian Near Me - Playa del Carmen, ROO

If you're looking for dinner with great flavor and an "Asian fusion" twist as they call it on the menu you've came to the right place. From the tuna tartare to the ribs to the Mongolian beef, this place didn't disappoint anywhere. Our server was more than helpful and even brought our table a sample of the grilled octopus. They have a great wine selection by the glass or bottle as well which was nice to have some options to choose from. If I'm ever back in Playa Del Carmen I will be back to this place. read more

"Nice Experience" We tried to get into their sister restaurant, Plank but it was booked until 9 PM. Imprevist is a charming small Asian fusion restaurant on a side street. We were served an Amuse Bouche, a fried ravioli, very good. Started with steamed dumplings and tuna tartare, both very good. For entrees, I had the fish special, a Mexican type of swordfish in a flavorful Asian both with mussels, very nice. My wife opted for the chicken lettuce wrap, a nice little meal. For dessert, we tried the crème Brule, not as custardy as I like but good and their version of a Profiterole, different. Definitely will go back. read more

We loved this place so much for breakfast, that we came back the second day. What you get for your money is AMAZING. INCLUDES: Choice of one juice, an assorted bread basket: Pastries, muffins and homemade marmelade and a fruit plate with yogurt, honey & granola as well as Coffee or Tea. $230 pesos which is about $11USD!!! The portion was large, the food taste so great and fresh. The restaurant is cute and very clean. Highly recommended. read more

This place is known for offering a great breakfast as well it should be. A couple of nearby hotel/condos offer a comp breakfast here. It's one of the best offers in PDC. Read other reviews which tell you how great breakfast is. They are all true!! I know that as I have had occasion to eat breakfast there every morning for the last week. What most people don't know is how good this place is for dinner. My spouse and I have eaten here the last two nights and will come back here for our last dinner in PDC. The atmosphere is beautiful. Piped in music, subtle lighting, sit alfresco and your view is a romantic looking candle shop across the quiet street. Service is so good. Whatever you want they will try to make happen. The chef has created an incredible menu of interesting entrees. Apps and salads are great. Both nights the kitchen offered a complimentary sampling from the chef. We enjoyed the salads each night. Feel free to ask for salt and fresh ground pepper to dial in your personal flavor preference. No one takes offense. The entrees were incredible: tandoori shrimp on rice noodles, green curry fish on jasmine rice and seafood risotto with squid ink. They were incredibly delicious!! To give you an idea of the service level, both nights we were there, we asked for port wine for dessert which isn't on their menu. The first night, Andres and the second night, Julie, ran down the block and around the corner to the bar of their sister restaurant, Plank, to get the Port we asked for. Now that is service above and beyond!! By the way, Plank is good, but Imprevist is the better of the two restaurants. It simply has more character and soul as well as a menu more developed. Try them both if you like but if you can only chose one, Imprevist would be my choice, no hesitation. read more

Our Hotel called ahead for us. We arrived and the waiter was going to have a table on the patio cleaned for us.In the mean time a couple walked up up and another waiter was going to seat them at our table. My husband offered to split the table. We were seated and the other couple was waited on, served drinks and order taken. We waited 10 minutes after and our waiter never came back. We left....many, many other great restaurants in Playa...bad experience read more

Excellent place for a good cocktail and an unforgettable food! The staff is always on top of every single detail and on top of everything... The pulpo al aceite was great! The salmon and Risotto spectacular! For drinks I tried the MELON BREEZE and it was really good! Recommended 100% read more

Wow, what a wonderful evening at Imprevist! It was our first night ever in Playa. After careful TripAdvisor research, we landed on Imprevist and happy we did. We wanted something in a more secluded part of town, outdoor seating and a small plates friendly menu. Imprevist was perfect. It's a small restaurant with a half dozen outdoor tables and only a few more inside. Service was impeccable - quick and frequent, yet not overly demanding. Food selection, quality and value outstanding. We love making a small plates evening between the two of us. We went with the Vietnamese rolls, pork belly and salad with honey dressing. We then split a filet. The house threw in a cold tomato soup course and capped our evening with a home made creamy limoncello. Total bill was just over US$100 - a price that could not be matched back home. Of all the dishes, the pork belly with scallops took the win. Just a few notes, though, on food quality. For a foodie experience, scallops were a bit tough. And while my wife raved about the filet, it was not as tasty as I would have liked and a bit past (just a touch) medium rare. But these overly critical points pale in comparison to the overall experience. Overall value, high end for Playa but still below a USA standard for comparable experience. This is not a touristic restaurant - this is the real deal. Reservations through Open Table and they pay particular attention to the special requests. If you've done the Fifth Avenue experience and put up with the street salespersons coming to your table, get off the beaten path by a block or two and try Imprevist. Enjoy. read more

I was not at all impressed with this place for breakfast and my husband hated it. There are many other breakfast places like bio-organic or bio-natural that I would pick any day over this place. I also do not find there to be value for your money as it is $10 per person and you are forced to order in a certain way they specify, not based on what you want. In Playa we did not spend more than $10 on breakfast for both of us at other places with much better quality and larger portions. For $10 you pick coffee or tea or juice (no water included). My green juice had a hair in it which I sucked through straw without realizing it was there and it ended up in my mouth. Disgusting! Next you get a pastry basket (empty carbs) with hard/ cold pastries and dry brownies. We ate 2 tiny pastries and skipped the rest. They bring a fruit plate next which is just a few slivers of melon and I ordered waffles and got one tiny room temperature waffle. It comes with nothing on the side so I had to pay extra for eggs. So basically I paid $12 for a waffle and scrambled eggs. Where is the value in that?! Nothing special about this place and I do not like being forced to order certain items for a set price. Our worst breakfast in Playa was here so I would skip this place. read more

Great service great food - come for bread and be pleasantly surprised. Very affordable!

Attempted to make reservation twice, using their website. No one ever replied back to me. The next day I called to confirm and yes they had sitting for us. Went to restaurant at 7 PM, no one else there, we were told to find to seat and were asked if we want to purchase water. Two other tables with and field by diners, and they were served. We sat for 15 minutes and never saw a waiter or hostess again! We left what once was our favorite hideaway romantic restaurant never to return again. Had a truly great meal Como Como instead. read more

Ambiance is nice, but two issues: First, service is quite slow. We sat down at 9:15, and didn't receive our appetizers until after 10 pm. They apologized several times, but that doesn't fill your stomach! Second, they seem to be trying too hard - putting weird and not at all tasty twists on good dishes. the "velvety Thai lemongrass soup" literally tasted like hot chocolate. I could not eat it. Likewise the pad thai, which was basically a sweet soup. If you go there, stick to the grilled lobster. Above was from my wife. Mine are: I had two cocktails while waiting: gin and tonic and dirty vodka martini. One would think that it would be simple. Let's just say that none of them had any resembles to what a cocktail should be. Again too much experimentation: weak and strange taste. The bartender should just stick to the recipe on the back of any shaker. read more

This place is a little hidden gem. We happened upon this place walking to the beach. We've only eaten breakfast here but the breakfast is fantastic. The menu is a flat rate "tasting" like menu which includes select pastries, fruit, juices, and your choice of main entree. The Chef is outstanding and also seems to be the chef at the nearby Plank restaurant. Great atmosphere and ambiance which is modern and relaxed. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

It used to be my favorite restaurant in Playa, I went there at least 10 times over the years. It was a private gem, a californian sweet place to fall. I went there on a friday night, it was dead, the menu hasn't change but I felt like the magic disappeared? read more

Amazing place, Must try !!!! Located close to 5th avenue, Imprevist is an amazing place to get breakfast or brunch. Food is amazing and service is great. All of staff speaks English as well as Spanish. It is located on a quite street with not much traffic. You can sit outside on the patio and it's nice even when it's scorching hot because the trees cover the patio with shade. They offer breakfast combos which includes fresh fruits, unlimited coffee, fresh juice, a bucket of fresh baked pastries, granola with yogurt and honey and a main course of your liking, and all of that for $190 pesos or $10 USD. Brunch menu is even a better deal and is available from 11 am till 1 pm. I came here only on my last day but would have came here everyday had I discovered the place sooner. I would highly recommend checking this out when you are in Playa Del Carmen !!! read more

Best breakfast in Playa! I spend a couple of months in Playa every year- or at least I try to, and I always make sure to get breakfast at Imprevist at least 5 times a week :) The amount of food you get for the price is insane! Your choice of juice and coffee, fruit plate and sweet bread basket to start, and then your choice of entree from a good size menu. And I've tried several of the entrees and they are all delicious. Most importantly- the staff and service is incredible! They are all so friendly and accommodating. Angel is the best! Imprevist is a great way to start your day while in Playa- trust me, don't miss this place! read more

The best breakfast in Playa del Carmen. Lots of extras like fruit, pastries, fresh juice. Nice staff.

I've been here twice and food and service have been top notch. We had the octopus and Mongolian beef, both perfect and amazing drinks. Our server Andres was wonderful and thanks to the chefs for an awesome meal! read more

Another fantastic meal here! We come to playa several times a year and were fortunate enough to read such wonderful reviews here on Yelp and gave it a try. Such an interesting flavor profile, amazing service and comfortable atmosphere. Don't make the mistake of staying on 5th Ave for meals. You won't be disappointed coming here! read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! I visited 3x during my recent visit to Playa. All of the staff is wonderful! They are all so welcoming and accommodating and made both our breakfast and dinner visits so very enjoyable. Breakfast is a prefix menu with a large variety of selections including a main dish, fresh fruit, yogurt, fresh juice, coffee and a pastry basket - all for about $12 USD. We tried the enchiladas verdes and mole and both were delicious. It gets quite full in the morning, so there may be a slight wait, but they try to get everyone seated quickly. We also visited for dinner and were blown away.....the mushroom crema (cream soup) is an absolute must try!! Every single thing we tried was excellent and complete with beautiful presentation. Tuna tartare, seafood risotto.....all out of this world! Would recommend dinner reservations, esp if you'd like to sit outside on the patio. I look forward to my next visit to go back! Mil gracias a todo el equipo de Imprevist! read more

This romantic little restaurant has a large wine menu that rivals some of the larger restaurants on 5th ave. It is on a quiet street and good if you want to get away from all the vendors and large crowds. The prices are slightly higher than most nearby restaurants. I would recommend getting drinks here and then getting food at Plank, which is right up the block. read more

Again, see my review of Como Como: The food is as good as anything you'll get in PdC, but it might not completely rank rave reviews in a city like Dallas, with an embarrassment of riches in the culinary department. Still, atmosphere inside is very romantic/cozy. Having a coffee and dessert on the patio afterwards was awesome: there are not (yet) any throbbing nightclubs on that part of Avenida 1, so it's one of the most chill parts of PdC. The service is very solicitous: I had the impression we were being waited on by the owner. Imprevist is on the list of restaurants (along with CC) that I definitely want to visit every time I'm in town. Patronize it and keep it alive! read more

A nice, sit down place. $13/person brunch that is excellent. Freshly squeezed juice, good never ending coffee, appetizers and a main dish. Just a chill, well-done place. No brainer. read more

We got complimentary breakfast or brunch at this restaurant and to be honest, we weren't expecting much! However, we were pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality of food, by the ambiance and the service level! Everything was just superb! We then decided to try this place for dinner as well, and we were even happier! All of the food was fresh and very well prepared. For catch of the day, I received a very generous portion of sea bass that was very well seasoned. The duck was also delicious! And let's not forget about the great cocktails we had! Great restaurant overall! Highly recommend! read more

I stayed across the street from this place and had breakfast there everyday. The servers are so friendly and attentive. The food is bountiful meaning you can likely share a plate if you are trying to fit through a doorway when you go home. But if you have no worries about fat and caloric intake, let your freak flag fly. At $175 pesos you can rest assured you are getting your money's worth. read more

Amazing find. Excellent service and every dish was outstanding. Would highly recommend!!!

Take a side street of 5th Ave to find this place. It's worth it! They serve breakfast and brunch which is amazing. There's pastries, juice, coffee, plus a special item off the menu (I chose pancakes one day and enchiladas the next time), all for a set price. read more

Maybe it was just a bad night, but I wasn't impressed. We went with a group of ten and I know that can be hard to accommodate in such a tiny space, but Imprevist did well on this front. The food just wasn't what I thought it would be. I guess if I went in with no expectations, I would have enjoyed it more. It was sold to me as one of the best places in Playa, and I have to disagree. The space is really cute and intimate and our server was great. There are just so many better food options around here. The pork belly app was meh. The steamed dumplings were meh. The tuna tartare and the sea bass were meh. Not BAD, just nothing special. Everything tasted like nothing. Someone at our table ordered the risotto and said it was the beset they've ever had in their life. So maybe our dishes were just misses. I'd definitely give it another shot, but probably not for a special occasion. read more
