Peter's Restaurante - 77500 Cancún

Peter's restaurant is one of the few places in Cancun I have gone to more than once. It's a small place with about eight tables inside and a few for open air dining. I remember the first time I went and this time the food was perfect. I came back to celebrate a birthday, I got the braised beef and the way the plate was put together and presented was obviously done by someone who knows what they're doing. I really like the fact that Peter will come to the table and make sure everything is good. You don't get that personal touch too often these days. He's a classy guy. So if you're in Cancun and want a great meal outside of the resort, you shouldn't pass this place up.

We tried a bunch of restaurants during our trip to Cancun, from small "hole-in-a-wall" establishments where the staff spoke minimal English, to five-star resort restaurants where a live pianist serenaded us with music during the meal. Peter's was the best restaurant we had the pleasure of dining at and we returned for a second visit right before we left. Quick note about the service: while there were other restaurants where we were treated like royalty, I personally preferred how comfortable it was at Peter's. The service was more personal and attentive without being overbearing. The food: I was impressed by how meticulously each dish was prepared and how consistently delicious everything was. During the two visits, we tried a total of 9 things on the menu, and each one was carefully crafted to please our palate. Chef Peter's style favored using many layers of light flavors to enhance the natural taste of the ingredients. With each bite of the food, you would taste the initial flavor of the sauce, which led to secondary and tertiary flavors, which then gave way to the freshness of the food. Everything melded really well together, with certain ingredients sometimes being highlighted, but nothing ever overwhelmed other flavor profiles. For certain dishes, the aromas would also linger in your esophagus, and with each breath there was a pleasant aftertaste. I also wanted to specially call out the pork tenderloin. There's a reason why the first page of the menu highlighted this dish in particular. The pork was so tender that the texture was somewhat reminiscent of duck. If there's one thing you need to try, it's this one. Will definitely return on our next trip back.

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. We loved everything. From salad to meal to dessert. It was all outstanding. We will definitely be back with friends.

This place was spot on from the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left in the taxi they personally called for us. Everyone on staff was welcoming, personable and friendly all night long. The chef, who also is the owner came to our table to see how the food was and if our expectations were met…. Certainly met above the standard. The seafood fettuccine was fresh , light and delicious. Oh he mushroom ravioli was a great starter and the ribeye cooked beautifully. The best lemon drop martini I’ve had in a while and the best service as well. We will definitely be back when we visit cancun again. I have nothing bad to say about this place.

This was by far the best dinner I have had in Cancun. I had a salad for a starter, the hogfish was perfect with a small order of mashed potatoes. Then Key Lime pie for dessert. Highly recommended, you must make a reservation in advance...would suggest 3 weeks in advance. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This was such a great find! From the bread to the desserts, we enjoyed it all!! The portion size was more than we could eat in one sitting, but we were happy to have leftovers! It was that good! The owner even came out to say hello and ask us how the food was. We will definitely visit again when we return to Mexico!

This was the best place we ate on our trip! Such a nice experience. The staff are warm and welcoming and the food is melt in your mouth delicious. A fine dining experience that lifted our spirits. Dessert was amazing as well don't pass it up! English friendly for travelers. Practiced covid safe procedures. Thank you Peter!

My husband and I had dinner here last night. One of the best meals we have had in Cancun! I had the three chili pork, husband had grilled fish and we shared the key lime pie. Peter came out to each table to see how everything was going. We appreciated this. Small family owned so you need to make reservation. A must do!
