This restaurant is for 18+. It's their fanciest restaurant on the entire property. No reservations needed although I heard you may want to consider it for the later hours (after 8pm?) if there are a lot of guests staying at the property. Luckily, we did not have to deal with this and just showed up. In hindsight, I would've dined at this restaurant several more times during my stay. It was solid! Keep in mind there is a dress code (so don't come in wearing swim trunks and sandals). The food here is very elegant. The plating is memorable and the food tastes great. The drinks are also very tasty. The dessert was phenomenal too. That creme brulee? YUMMMMYYY! It's a wonderful spot for date night. If you're feeling up for it, you can pay an additional cost for their premium selections of alcohol and food. If you're someone who likes foie gras, then you'll be happy to know that they have this on their menu. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Another Hyatt Ziva Resort Restaurant, I think this is one of the better restaurants at the resort. Ordered: - Tartare De Thon - I didn't like one. I thought the tuna had a weird flavor. Randy was thinking it was soaking in a marinate for slightly too long because texture of the fish was a little weird - Bar Raye - Sea Bass as good but I think I prefer the Sea Bass at Trade Winds more. - Magret De Canard Au Miel - I liked this one. Duck paired well with the honey and figs - Carre D'Agneau & Cardamome - Lamb was also pretty good. Not sure if it was because this is suppose to be the fancier restaurant at the resort or not. Or if the chefs were just better the night we went, but we felt like they were able to cook the meat to your requested doneness. - Crème Brûlée - no complaints. exactly what you expect and decent. - Apple Mousse - I appreciate the presentation of this dessert. read more

This restaurant was for 18+. They're pretty strict with their attire, so make sure you look your best. It's a French fine dining experience after all. We arrived around 7:30pm, and there was about a 20 minute wait. They had a bar for customers to sit at while waiting for their tables. There were still people waiting to get in as we left around 9pm. I enjoyed my starters more than the main course. The mussels came with this delicious creamy sauce that you can just slurp as soup. I finished my baked puff pastry & cheese in a heartbeat - okay maybe more beats than that, but it was that good. The cook on my duck magret was inconsistent; one piece was well done and the other was medium rare. Both the sauces for the duck and vegetables were interesting to say the least. The creme brûlée at the end made up for it. I need to come back at some point to try another main course. read more

Located in the Hyatt Ziva Cancún All inclusive resort: for resort members only. Food was fantastic!! Service here at the resort is always excellent so expect nothing less, this is the only restaurant at the resort that requires a collared shirt for men *has a slightly more formal dress code than the others* The best espresso martinis we had were here as well! Breads and butter for the table. We tried the mussels & foie gras: if you enjoy those things I reccomend. The French onion soup was delishhhhhhh as well and shareable if you just want a taste. We all ended up getting the filet as entrée, which was perfectly cooked. Chocolate mousse and flambé for dessert( with a spectacular show for the flambé) Overall a 10/10, I'll definitely be back here at my next stay. - food guide & content creator Insta @ SpicyAivy // Tiktk @ Aivyleague read more

Our server, Alejandro Camelo at La Bastille was amazing! Very tentative and kept our drinks full. The quality of food and service was immaculate! Highly recommend him and this restaurant. We enjoyed the tuna tartar appetizer, the duck and sea bass entree! read more

Delightfully surprised by the quality of the food given that this French restaurant is at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun, an all-inclusive resort. Reservations aren't accepted, it's first-come, first-served so we got there right when they opened at 6 pm. Because we were only staying for two nights we didn't want to take a chance of missing out. Not all the restaurants are open every night. We were given a quiet table near the private dining room. Our waiter was very attentive, quick to refill our water glasses, and made sure our cocktails glasses were never empty. The foie gras parfait with apple au Calvados and Port wine reduction was heavenly. Hubby liked the lentil and endive salad with walnuts and roasted duck breast and loved the onion soup au gratin. The potato and leek cream soup with Roquefort cheese was fantastic! Great presentation, the waiter poured the hot soup into the bowl, and very creamy. But my rack of lamb was a dud. It lacked flavor and I wished I had gotten the filet which the hubby enjoyed. Desserts were just okay. The creme brulee was cold and the chocolate souffle too rich. But the 1921 Tequila cream liqueur for a digestif was the bomb! Will definitely eat here again the next time we stay at the resort. read more

La Bastille serves up French fare at the all inclusive Hyatt Ziva Resort. It's only open in the evenings for dinner and there is a dress code that is enforced. I wore dark jeans, sneakers, and a half sleeve polo shirt and was happy they let me in as pictures of acceptable dress code outside the establishment were of men in full sleeve shirts. The inside is elegant and service was excellent as one would expect when fine dining. After trying some freshly baked breads that were buttery, flaky, and tasted amazing I placed my order for lamb and salmon. Both of these items are main dishes and I wasn't really in the mood to try the appetizers, soups, and salads. Salmon gratin and lobster - Tender pieces of salmon were served with a cheese sauce, mushrooms, and topped with a small bite size piece of lobster. While the dish was on the heavier side, everything tasted great and portion wise was a lot bigger than I had anticipated. Rack of lamb - I mistakenly asked for the lamb to be prepared medium and should have gone with medium rare. Although it still tasted amazing and was very tender. I enjoyed the colorful presentation of this dish, and the creative usage of ingredients. The portion size was much smaller as compared to the salmon dish. Chocolate souffle - My server let me know before hand that it would take 20 minutes to prepare this dish. This dish was accompanied with a vanilla ice cream that wasn't very creamy, had poor texture, and tasted nothing like vanilla ice cream. The chocolate souffle was dry near the bottom of the ramekin. With the exception of dessert everything here exceeded my expectations. The food, service and ambiance were great. This was the best place to eat at the resort read more

No need for reservations at this restaurant within the Hyatt Ziva Cancun resort. All employees are wearing masks and gloves. Dress code is smart casual. They start off by giving you the most delicious bread with butter. I ordered the escargot as an appetizer. It was super small portion, but delicious. My entree was the Agneau rôti, which was lamb. I've had lamb at different restaurants and boy, was this the best I've ever had. I opted out of the dessert since I was full towards the end of my meal. The only bad thing about this place was the waiter. He seemed very distant and hated his job. He did not seem happy to serve me and came by only to ask my order or bring my order. He never came by asking me how I felt or if I needed anything. However, the food was so good that the service could be ignored. I would advise other tourists to come here! read more

I was impressed with the variety of dinner options, and the small portions worked well for an 'All You Can Eat' resort. As the only Adults-Only restaurant on property, it felt they could have done better making our group of young adult guests feel more welcomed. read more

I would give this place a 4 if I were paying each time. But as it is included in our all inclusive package, I give it a 5. The staff deserve 5 stars for sure, hands down! Sandra is amazing. Cornelio(spelling idk), Adrian, Rafael and Mario all did a wonderful job! Beet salad with goat cheese is fresh and tasty Onion soup was not traditional, with crouton and melted cheese. So the 2nd night we asked the chef to prepare it that way and he did. Filet Mignon is not on the menu. However it is available and included in the all inclusive. It is amazing as it the reduction sauce. Duck was perfectly cooked and an excellent choice. We all preferred the Hege fish over the Sea Bass, but both were good. One night the chicken was perfection, the next night it was dry. So I do not want to recommend. Endive Gruyere cheese appetizer is very good, but rich. Their house Cab is good. We are NorCal wine folks, for whatever that is worth. Shrimp Bisque was a bust. Have the French onion! Lobster is extra, I say skip it. The texture was a bit off and their butter is different, margarine, maybe? Quiche is excellent. Chocolate soufflé' is a must, not eggy like some can be. If you are celebrating a special day, let them know and they will take care of you. We look forward to coming back! read more

The hidden gem in Hyatt Ziva Cancun! I absolutely loved this restaurant at the resort. It made me excited to get a delicious meal every evening it was open! The atmosphere: C'est tres chic! It's the fanciest restaurant so you do need to dress up a little to attend. The decor is very lovely with classic french posters and picture frames adorning the walls. There are plush booths and even single tables. The bar is illuminated so you can take in the wide array of drinks that can be made and offered. All in all it sets up for a romantic evening dinner! The service: So on point and absolutely classy! The waiters I had were all friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. One waiter gave us a creme brulee without us asking because he thought it would be the perfect finish to our meal! Another waiter and I spoke in French for a bit. They brought the food out quickly and with flourish. The quality: Everything I ate here was delicious and if I needed a modification to any dish, it was made readily and happily. You can get almost everything on the menu and still come back for more because of how delicious the meals are here! read more

Out of the dining options available at the Hyatt Ziva, this one was hands-down the best one we visited! Elevated French dining with excellent service. A little slow for food orders to come out, but I didn't feel neglected during my dining experience. This is an adults-only restaurant, so it's a good choice if you want to get away for a bit! They do have smart casual dress code, so just be sure to check before you visit! No reservation needed. What we ate: Appetizers: - sauteed mussels (White wine sauce, lemon emulsion, parsley and garlic, served with western potatoes, 4 pieces): Lots of greens on top of mussels, but the mussels were good! - Frise salada with bacon (Fresh lettuce salad with smoked duck slice, potatoes, onion, crispy bacon and warm vinaigrette): I would say this was an okay salad. Smoked duck slice was basically a less oily bacon. - parfait de foie gras (Apple meaning with Calvados, smoked fig sauce): We were intrigued when this came out, as it didn't look like the foie gras we are accustomed to. I think it was a slice of foie gras on top of the "apple meaning," which I'm not even sure what that is... but it was a fruity base. I almost think this dish could be a small dessert. - French onion soup (Onion soup au gratinée): It almost looks like a souffle when it come out! It's onion soup with a layer of cheese that rises over the bowl. I ordered it because I saw other tables with it and asked our waiter what it was. So good, would recommend! I usually don't like French onion soup because they tend to be too salty, but this one wasn't! Main courses: - Agneau rôti (Roast lamb with sage and black pepper, pear puree with goat cheese, currant sauce and Vichy carrots): Love lamb, and this one certainly hit the spot! Would get it again. - Canard au miel de pissenlit (Duck au dandelion honey, vegetables flavored with balsamic vinegar): Duck is always a good choice, and a healthy one too. I thought it was pretty well done! Desserts: - Créme brûlée de citrus: Just as it sounds - a little citrusy creme brulee. I was a little disappointed by the lack of caramelization on top, but I still ended up eating most of it, especially since it was a small dish! - Saint-honor with light vanilla cream: Would not recommend - the cookie on the bottom is too thick to cut through with even a fork. Drink: - house cabernet read more

We ate here on our last night in Cancun and I'm so glad we did. There was about a 45 minute wait but they gave us a pager and we enjoyed the end of an acrobatic show by the main pool and then had a drink at the bar next door while we waited. The service at this restaurant was 5 stars and the food was amazing. We started with the Our Croque Madame which had quail egg and duck bacon. It was fantastic. We had a really delish salad and mushrooms soup. The soup had a great presentation but tasted just okay. The entrees were the stars. We had the lamb, filet, and duck. All were amazing, the sides were delish, and the presentation was great. I loved the sauces that came with the lamb and duck. I didn't try the steak but I heard rave reviews. It was definitely worth ditching the beach clothes and dressing up to go to this restaurant. Watching the sunset with a delicious cocktail at Saasil bar, enjoying a live show, and then having a beautiful dinner is something to remember. This restaurant does not allow children. Also, it's part of Hyatt's all inclusive so only patrons of the establishment are allowed. The portion sizes are not very big so if you're torn between options order both if you're hungry. We were Leary about this place because of our lack of experience with French cuisine but I wish I would've come here everyday. read more

The only adult 18+ restaurant from Hyatt ziva cancun. I would definitely come early if you want to make plan for this restaurant. La Bastille is a French restaurant located near the lobby entrance. I order the French onion soup, rack of lamb(slow roast lamb), and black Angus tenderloin. The French onion soup have a bread dough layer on top similar to claim chowder at some restaurant. Not a big fan on French onion soup but it taste okay to me with the bread. If it only came with the soup i would probably pass on it. I don't really eat lamb but this lamb was lacking in flavor. Not sure is it suppose to taste light ? But will probably pass on this as well. The highlight of my dinner was the black Angus tenderloin. The meat was complete opposite of the lamb as its pack with juicy flavor. I got it medium and it was done just the way I like it. The potato side texture remind me of eating a layer cake. Really good! read more

La Bastille for the win!! 5 Stars wells deserved! Located at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun all-inclusive hotel, you will find this fancy French restaurant catering to it's guest that are looking for a romantic setting. Although it wasn't on a romantic type of thing my friend and I decided to hit this place up during our stay because I've never had an all-inclusive fine dining experience! For starters this place is definitely on it when it comes to dress code so like silly rabbits we showed up in shorts and tropical button up's but ended up going back to the room to throw some pants on. The hostess was very nice about it and had our table ready upon returning. After being seated we were greeted promptly by the server who was just so awesome the entire dinner. It's nothing like having a server who is both knowledgeable and friendly. He made some strong recommendations on what to try and not to try on the menu and every one of the items we decided on was spectacular! Dinner consisted of the following: Appetizers: Cured Salmon w/ Fennel & Sour Cream French Onion Soup Potato Leek Cream Soup w/ Roquefort Cheese Spinach & Goat Cheese Quiche Steak Tartare Entree's: 2 Surf and Turf's- Lobster isn't normally included however we had some "Free Lobster" coupons rewarded at check-in for being a Globalist member! Desert: Crème Brulee Chocolate Souffle We will be back for SURE! read more

This isn't 5 stars up against restaurants in Paris, but it is great for what it is meant to be at an all-inclusive in Cancun. The wait was long but definitely worth it. Appetizers: Foie Gras was the best of the bunch but the quiche was good as well as was the steak tartare. The French onion soup was good but outdone by the potato soup. The classic salad wasn't distinct from others but was something green if you've been eating resort food all day. The rack of lamb and steak were great entrees (though they over cooked our medium rare order), but the grouper poisson was the best! The chocolate lava cake and lemon cello were great ways to end the night. Wonderful night. Marco was an attentive waiter. read more

Adult only, French cuisine restaurant in the Hyatt Ziva resort. Our group went here for dinner on the last night and let me say, I was sad we didn't dine here sooner as I would of ate here every night! Ambiance is sultry and romantic with low lighting. Impeccable service from the resort carried through as the hosts and service were very accommodating and attentive. I ordered the lentil and rabbit salad to start and the lamb as main course. Afterwards, my attention is caught by a French onion soup heading to the table next to us. The supervisor must of saw my eyes light up as he walks over to our table to advise me what it was and suggests adding it to our order. I then knew I was at the right place. Hehe! Tip- make reservations! My group had an rsvp but I noticed a lot of people hoping to get a table and waiting. read more

Great food. Came with the pretty the awesome all inclusive Hyatt Ziva in Cancun. Great Service. The restaurant is dimly lit and very cozy, great for a romantic dinner, and formal clothing is enforced. I was a little wary about eating French food in a resort, but like most of the restaurants in Hyatt Ziva, food and service was great. It's pretty on par with a lot of French foods in taste, quality, and serving size- which I usually one a bit more. We got the foie gras, steak tartare and the escargot were excellent, in fact, I loved it more than the main dishes, and not the main dishes were bad, it was that the appetizers tasted better. As for the main dishes, we got the veal and the duck, and as they said, they weren't bad, but pretty forgettable. I'm writing this review a month later, and I had to ask what we ate for our main dishes. The desserts were amazing as well, we got the chocolate souffle and the creme brulee. They weren't too sweet, but rich and creamy. I'd definitely come back for the appetizers and desserts. read more

Return visit from Aug 2018. We stay at Hyatt Zilara but take a taxi down to this spot at Hyatt Ziva. Unfortunately not worth the trip this time. Disappointing, maybe bad night but both entrees were subpar, we left 2/3 on our plates. Bread is provided as soon as you sit down. Good, especially the onion roll. Starters were spinach quiche salad and foie gras torchon. Salad was entree size and ok as was torchon. The roll w torchon was doughy, prefer crusty to provide texture. French onion soup course - very sweet (too much sherry?) - no cheese of any kind. Nice pastry on top. Entrees - chicken roulade w mushroom ravioli and veg. I ordered duck breast w veg. Veg was cold and unseasoned on both plates. Chicken roulade was presented at overdone roasted breast w puree. When we asked about ravioli, yhey brought two uninspired pieces, and shoved menu in my wife's face to explain it was an accompaniment; part of the puree? My duck was cooked poorly. Fat was not rendered, meat well over done. Dessert was choc soufflé which was more brownie like. C'est la vie read more

The salads were inventive. The goat cheese salad was really good but didn't resemble a salad at all. The quiche was also very good. We ordered the salmon (good, but not great), lamb chops (excellent!), filet mignonette (also excellent). The desserts were not the best (cremè brûlée & soufflé), I wouldn't recommend them. Dress code is enforced. Waiters are very nice. read more

The service is terrible here. We've been staying in this resort for 7 nights and we came here to get a table for two four times but they said we had to wait for an hour to 90 minutes. So we left since we did not want to waste 90 minutes of our time. Tonight which is our last night, we decided to wait. We've been told that waiting time is an hour. We've been waiting for two hours now! Restaurent is closing in 30 minutes and we are still waiting. There are people with larger group inside - inviting in their friends and the restaurent doesn't care while they don't give us a table! We've spent over $6000 to stay in this resort and this is a kind of service you get from their french restaurent! We definitely won't come back. read more

Won't serve with shorts on at a beach resort, no matter how nice you are dressed. Totally lame, do not waste your time, and from what we hear, food is not even that great. Snooty, but not great. No place to be snooty. read more
