If you happen to visit Hacienda del Mar in Los Cabos, do not forget to check out Pitahayas. A Pacific Rim winner, this restaurant will give you the taste of sea. Literally and figuratively because it is located very near to the body of water and chef Volker Romeike makes dishes of seafood specialties like lobster hash or lobster risotto and coconut shrimp with chipotle sauce. For few years, this multi-tiered circular dining room was always full of satisfied visitors indulging in lobster martinis, spicy shrimp napoleon, and ginger crème brûlée as well as more than 500 international wines in the wine cellar.

The beautiful people fuel their engines at this Argentine-style beef palace before club-hopping till dawn. It’s hard to imagine where those leggy tanned model-types stash their intake of tuna sashimi, huge steaks with chimichurri, and fried soufflé potatoes (which are like puffy potato chips). Apparently, they burn it off dancing. Locals air-kiss as they break from their cell phones to mingle with co-workers, while tourists with hefty expense accounts grow ever more exuberant under the influence of hearty Mendoza wines.

Owned by former Ritz-Carlton chef, John Gray shows another masterpiece in Cancun named as John Gray’s Downtown. Although not that famous and may even lead you to Grill 14 when you ask your hotel concierge, this place has sister restaurants in Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen. Always full of pretty people in its industrial chic rooms, the food must be carefully picked from the menu. Except Sundays, try their savory onion soup, steak-frites and daily specials on the country French–mexican menu.
