About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for creative cocktails
Esta majestuosa parrilla de llama abierta está inspirada en la vista del fuego vivo y el aroma del aire fresco del océano besado por la sal. Dedicado al delicado arte de la preparación de mariscos, toda la experiencia se basa en una enérgica cocina abierta. Cada plato incorpora un elemento de humo, carbón o fuego, algunos sutiles, otros más evidentes. Desde abundantes presentaciones de barras crudas hasta pescado entero asado a la parrilla para dos, este agradable restaurante nocturno celebra la belleza del mar y el poder de las llamas.

    Malpeque is a fully amazing experience. The space itself is perfection. We sat facing outward to the ocean with waves, palm trees, and a reflection pool. The service was perfect. Attentive, knowledgeable, and never intrusive. The food was simply incredible. Their ability to prepare the freshest fish and shellfish is unlike anything we have ever tasted. The yellow tail crudo rivals any that I have ever had and the grilled colossal shrimp and spiny lobster were the best we have ever eaten. The creativity of the chef while maintaining the simple natural flavors of the fish, seafood and ingredients is superior. I would suggest this dining experience to everyone. We will most definitely return soon!

    Wonderful seafood meal on our first night in Cancun. Everything was very delicious. Our only criticism is the lack of recognition by the restaurant for our wedding anniversary. We noted this with the restaurant and the Waldorf Astoria. Otherwise, too notch.

The service top notch, the food was amazing, a 10 out of 10 experience to celebrate our 26th. Can’t wait to come back next year!

    If you’re looking for top-notch seafood, this restaurant is a must-visit! The lobster was incredibly fresh, cooked to perfection, and full of rich, buttery flavor. The grilled octopus was equally impressive—tender, smoky, and beautifully charred, with just the right amount of seasoning. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with attentive service that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Jaime, was incredible!! Whether you’re a seafood enthusiast or just looking for a great meal, this place delivers. Highly recommended!
