Le Chique Restaurant - 77586 Cancún

One of the most amazing Mexican experience I had. Spectacular service and the menu was out of this world, complement with the wine pairing, simply AMAZING.

I'll start this by saying this was my first tasting menu so I'm writing this review as a tasting menu novice. That being said, my husband and I had a great time. Over 2.5+hours we tasted over 20 courses with wine pairing which left us full, happy and even a little drunk. Interesting presentation, unique flavors and beautiful plating was everything we hoped for when we were looking for a contemporary Mexican dining experience while on vacation on the Riviera Maya. The Mexican born, French and Spanish trained chef takes you on a tour of Mexico with his carefully designed menu full of locally sourced delicacies. The service was excellent and the dishes presented at an appropriately paced tempo for the amount of dishes on our menu. And the price can't be beat. My husband has been to tasting menus in NY and agrees that for the experience, taste and service you receive at le Chique the price is incredible. (150 usd pp for tasting menu plus 120 usd pp for highest level wine pairing offered) We ate here on New Year's Day 2020 on our first day of vacation and I have to say - what a way to welcome this new decade.

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.

We loved our family dinner. Our Prestige Travelers Concierge, Ricardo was able to make this possible. ?? I highly recommend booking ahead. I’ve posted a few pictures. Choose the wine pairing as it adds so much more. From the amazing flavors to education and the shear entertainment, it’s a special family moment. Our waiter was attentive, informative and very professional. Even if we don’t stay at Azul, we’ll be booking to come back to dine at this lovely restaurant. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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!
