Le Chique Restaurant

Amazing multi-sensory culinary experience! Every dish was perfect both in terms of presentation and taste. The wine tasting is definitely worth it as it fits well with the dishes and adds something extra to the experience. Our waiter and sommelier did an amazing job taking us through our menu. Special thanks to our fantastic waiter who accompanied us from and to the lobby to get our taxi and who made our whole dining experience very enjoyable! At the end we even got a tour of the kitchen to meet the people behind those incredible Michelin-quality dishes. This is probably my favorite restaurant in the world!

Truthfully the worst tasting food we have ever had in our lives… The visual aspect is phenomenal and you won’t see anything else like this. But the food tastes absolutely awful. I am all for trying new foods and experiencing other cultures, but this was beyond bad. We looked around and people at other tables were gagging trying the food as well. We paid $110 USD/person for the 20 course tasting, and you could not pay us to go back. 10/10 do NOT recommend. Spend your money elsewhere.

The food is outstanding by itself; the experience provided by staff and management truly take this to a new level. Cannot recommend this enough. 21 course meal with a journey wine pairing was perfect.

Very theatrical and flavours I would never normally try. Service was excellent and would recommend trying if only for the experience

If the idea of fine dining is a steakhouse with contemporary American food, or if one identifies as "a meat and potatoes person," this place may not be up your alley.

The food here is very avant-garde, inventive, and has a focus on molecular gastronomy.

Each course is visually stunning, delicious, and still stays true to local and seasonal ingredients. The food is still very "Mexican" and represents food from different regions of Mexico. Their wine list does have some regional wines from Mexico, from their wine country in Baja. Familiarity with regional cuisine will help one appreciate the chef's reinterpretations of other Mexican dishes. I also enjoyed the level of difficulty and technique is needed to execute each course.

I took a kitchen tour after my meal. It was part kitchen part laboratory; they had almost every gadget that Breville Poly Science makes. I had an opportunity to meet the head chef, Alejandro Villagrana Perez, who was amazing. He told us that they also train and teach future chefs studying at the local culinary school, which many were in the kitchen that service. Excited to see what the next generation of chefs does in Quintana Roo.

It is one of the most amazing meals I've ever had. I can't believe they are only 30 on the Latin America "Best 50" list. If you are ever in the Cancun area, I would highly recommend making a reservation.

Went here on the 5th August for a birthday treat. Yes I had an amazing experience with my family but the food was style over substance. We paid $90 EACH for a wine experience and each got 5 small measures. This was the biggest let down of the meal. $180 for less than half a bottle of wine..... food looked beautiful but nothing to write home about. The experience was great but that's all it was. Got to sit in the kitchen but it came across soleless. I wouldn't recommend this unless your loaded and can afford $500 for a mediocre meal. Sorry but that's how I felt.

Unbelievable! It was a once in a lifetime experience, and I'm so happy we went! The 22 course of tasting menu with wine pairings was one of the most delicious, creative, fun, and visually stunning meals I've ever enjoyed. The service was phenomenal, to boot. My group will be talking about that experience for years to come.
