BEST FAMILY TOURIST RESTAURANTS
[ Back to TOC]
EL SOMBRERO DE GOMAR RESTAURANT AND BAR
For the large group or families, Gomar’s offers an equally large and friendly menu. No one in the group will have to extend him or herself too far from home if their culinary tastes lack adventure. Any number of good sandwiches or burgers is available, as well as fries, great salads, steaks and savory soups. If your group happens to be in the sharing mood, try ordering one of the fondues, shish kebabs or Gomars special (a combimation of lobster, shrimp, octopus, conch, squid and grilled fish with garlic), which is enough for 1,2 or 3 people, or more. There is plenty of locally influenced food available as well for those of you who want to enjoy good Mexican food. The restaurant itself is attractive, breezy and lively, located along the popular Avenue Hidalgo. Prices are reasonable, service is generally great and the design and lush potted plants throughout makes for a warm and fun atmosphere. (Corner of Madero and Hidalgo) - $$
“LAS BRISAS DEL CARIBE” RESTAURANT BAR
Whether for a meal or cold drinks, this is a great stop for everyone. The pina coladas and margaritas are very good and the food is a nice mix of island cuisine, seafood, pastas and some surprisingly good sandwiches. Las Brisas is colorful and lively, especially at night, and the view is all Caribbean. Your group can dine under the thatched roof or at one of the several tables in the sand, right along the water within sight of the small fishing boats moored ten feet from your tables. On the main drag in town where, after a visit, you can all mosey on about your business and continue exploring or shopping. (On the beach in town on Rueda Medina a ½ block north of the ferry pier across from Madero) - $$
BUCANEROS RESTAURANT
Bucaneros has been around for a long time and their combination of food and service makes for a nice family stop any time of day. They have a little for anybody, from the great selection of wines to their well-stocked bar, good pizzas and pastas, breakfasts and crepes, and much more; your family or group will have lots to choose from.(Hidalgo between Abasolo and Madero) - $$
ROLANDI’S BAR AND PIZZARIA
Excellent pizzas and ice cream, what more do you really need for a great family restaurant? Really though, across from Bucaneros on Avenue Hidalgo, Rolandi’s is excellent whether you’re here with a group, family, or for a romantic night out. All the Italian food, seafood, pastas and of course the pizzas are quite delicious and they can usually find a quiet table for you if that’s what you need. (Hidalgo between Abasolo and Madero) - $$
PLAYA LANCHEROS BEACH BAR
A beautiful and restful beach bar along the south west coast with wonderful food for the whole family. Not a dinner place though, ‘cause they close by 6 pm. But for a combination lunch or early dinner, and day at the beach playing in the water and sand, you couldn’t ask for a prettier spot. (On the SW coast heading towards Garrafon snorkel park 2 minutes past the Hacienda Mundaca junction) - $$
