    Enchiladas Rojas. Mmmm!
    Simeko O.

    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!

    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.

    We have been here several times for breakfast which is always amazing. Hot beverage, fresh juice, a basket of pastries and a fruit plate come included with any main choice, which we have always been impressed with. I loved the chorizo and eggs. Dinner was also really delicious and I recall a great craft cocktail.

    "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.

    Yummy food! Second visit and it was delicious food. I rarely have Eggs Benedict but these were spot on - perfectly poached eggs. On a quiet street and lots of food for the $. It's $230 pesos for breakfast which comes with a bread/pastry basket, fruit plate with yogurt, honey and oats. Choice of coffee or tea. We will be back

    Muy romantico!

    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.

    Best breakfast/ brunch in Playa! For only 150 pesos you get an all inclusive breakfast which includes : fruit plate, basket of fresh pastries, coffee, juice and main course! Belgian waffle, French toast, eggs Benidict, molletes, sopes, paninis, club sandwiches, the list goes on! We have a standing reservation every Sunday! Yes, I highly recommend making reservations so you won't be disappointed! Their dinners are also excellent, check out their ever changing menu on their web site and friend them on Facebook.

We walked up for brunch timeframe and were told it would be 10-15 minutes, they had plenty of seating to wait BUT it was really only 3-4 minutes which was perfect. They have an open air concept, and we sat in back which was like a little magical garden area with a creek running through it. It was so adorable, and so tropical. Their drink menu was tasty, we got a couple of their mezcal drinks which low key were probably the best in all of Playa. Unique, fresh, and delicious. The food was incredible. My husband got a shrimp dish, it came with some very unique and creamy potatoes and a sauce that was so flavorful. I got a classic Chilaquiles dish that had so much flavor, but all the ingredients tasted so fresh and amazing. And almost a whole avocado on top which was insane. Such a great experience. We weren't rushed, taken care of, fantastic food and drink. I can see why it's highly rated.

    Great experience last Friday night at this Michinlin Bib restaurant. So glad I stopped by this…read moreplace is bomb and super not pretentious! Wish I got the tasting menu but I opted for 3 of the specialties instead and they were delicious... Tasting menu is best value tho! I got the raw trout sashimi thing and it was by far the best plate of the meal (first dish/appetizer) , then got the shrimp flautas (good not amazing) then I got the trout loin for the entree (good not amazing) Skinny marg was perfect and so was the waitress! Would recommend and go back but like I said I would for sure do with the 6 or 8 course tasting menu!

    Okay, where do I start…read more I made a reservation about a month before our trip, they were already pretty booked so I made a 4:45pm. I somehow missed that the coursed meal doesn't start until 6...and we didn't realize until same day. They couldn't rebook us until 9PM but told us to swing by early to see if they could get us in AND THEY DID. It was a Christmas miracle. And I'm glad they did because the whole experience was about 2.5 hours from start to finish. The place isn't very big, but is beautiful inside. They have an awesome bar and and open kitchen so you can see everything. It's a really neat place. We were seated pretty quick once they got the table cleaned, and then were greeted by our waitress. When we told her we were there for the 8 course meal, they switched waiters on us, and then the upselling started. Right off the bat they tried to talk us into a cocktail...when we were doing a pairing with our meal. It took them a little time to get the meal going, and then between courses was a little hit or miss. Sometimes it was free flowing and sometimes it took 10-15 minutes to get our next dish. The food. We were a little nervous we would leave still a little hungry but I assure you, you will not. For ~$100USD each, you get so much food, and a drink with every course. It was fantastic and so worth it. Here were the courses and pairings (that I can remember lol): 1. We started with the dips - a bean dip with cheese sauce and guacamole with crickets. Very classic, very well done. The crickets added a nice, nutty flavor. I was a huge fan of the beans with their blue corn tostadas, so much flavor. They also had a third dip that was pumpkin seed based, it was good but not as memorable. Their hot sauces came out with this course. It was paired with a house mezcal (with salts, cucumber, and orange) that was incredible and smooth. 2. Shrimp ceviche which was super refreshing and flavorful. They paired this with sparkling wine. 3. Sea bass with a cream sauce and grapefruit. I'm not a huge fishy flavor person - my first bite had all three compnents and I thought it was delicious. My husband just had fish as his first bite and thought it a little fishy, but once we added everything else he agreed it was great. Three small pieces, so it was a nice course. Paired with a sauv blanc. 4. Roasted tomatoes in a mole sauce. A nice veggie course. I thought they were cooked well, nothing super fancy. Paired with a Chardonnay. 5. Cooked shrimp with potatoes. My husband called this a "filler" course - there wasn't much to it. The sauce had some greens in it but it was just something light and easy to serve. Can't remember the pairing here. 6. THE CARROTS. MY FAV THING. OMG. Literally so fresh, the perfect texture, and the sauces. I could have eated a whole bowl with this one. Paired it with a red blend. 7. Cow tongue. I forgot a photo. I was starting to get drunk, I'm sorry. Paired with a red wine. This was tender, the sauce was delicious. If you're not used to beef tongue, please don't let it scare you. It was amazing. 8. Dessert. Also amazing. I think it was paired with a sweet red but....a little drunk here...we got a cheesecake which was more on the savory side, super unique, and so delicious. I was a huge fan. We also got a passion fruit custard and I'm a SUCKER for passion fruit. This was phenomenal. The food was INCREDIBLE. And such an amazing experience. And now the loss of a star. I hit on the service a little, but there was also some upselling which we don't love, especially at what is supposed to be michelin recognized. We often try Michelin recognized when we travel and the upselling was unexpected, I undertsand the culture down here, but still. ALSO we LOVED the house mezcal so much we asked for another shot ($280 pesos/shot). When we got the bill, the waiter upcharged to one of the most expensive mezcals on their menu ($520 pesos/shot) and refused to change it. We spent $60 on two shots after paying for our 8-course meal. It honestly was SUCH a dissapointing end to our meal and felt so icky. Be very careful with the service here.

The tacos were packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and served hot and fresh every time. You can taste the quality and the technique especially in the way the meat is cooked and carved. Everything felt simple but done right, which honestly is what makes a taco stand out. The atmosphere is lively and busy (for good reason), but service moves quickly and efficiently. It feels like the kind of place locals actually eat at, not just a tourist trap with hype. We fully intended to try different taco spots around Playa del Carmen... but after our first visit, we couldn't resist coming back. When a place makes you change your food itinerary, you know it's worth it. If you're in Playa and debating whether it lives up to the hype it does!!
