Asi Restaurant & Beach Club

When you vacation in Playa del Carmen, one of the area's top eateries can be found right on the beach. Asi Restaurant & Beach Club combines beachside dining, top-notch fare, and service with laid-back elegance. 

Asi is a short walk from Quinta Avenida, which means you'll be dining toes in the sand in no time! The setting is ideal for casual or family meals and a romantic rendezvous beneath the stars. Add the "diners only" private beach, and you could hang out here all day!

The menu weaves international dishes and local seafood into mouth-watering wonders. With highlights like fresh, zesty ceviche or grilled octopus, it's easy to see why foodies rave about this spot. Combine with their vibrant tropical cocktails, like the beloved passion fruit daiquiri, for a dining experience that's as indulgent as it is relaxed.

A perk of visiting is that it serves breakfast at 7:00 AM, enabling early birds to fuel before shopping on Quinta Avenida. Should you plan a visit to San Miguel de Cozumel, a hearty breakfast awaits before boarding the Ultramar Ferry.

 At the heart of this locally-owned restaurant is the dedication to three principles found on its website: 

• A = For delicious, healthy, fresh food.
• S = For heartfelt service and creating unforgettable memories.
• I = For fresh, Instagrammable, inspired, wholesome ingredients.

This isn't just a trite social media mantra but a belief, passion, and lifestyle you'll appreciate when dining. 

So, put on your flip-flops and head to one of the area's top restaurants, steps from your Playa Del Carmen vacation rental.

Vibe

The restaurant is tucked beneath and affiliated with El Taj condos. You can reach the Asi by passing through the hotel's lobby or walking around the building to an obscure spot near the ocean. Either way, your steps from what they describe as "Sandy toes & Salty Kisses."

The small indoor dining area has coastal chic decor with rustic wooden pieces, woven accents, and subtle earthy tones.  

The premiere dining spot is oceanside on the covered wooden deck or umbrella-covered tables dotting the sand. No matter where you dine, you'll have an unencumbered view of the Caribbean and fishing boats dotting the beach. 

The private beach and lounge chairs available to guests add to the allure. While there is so much to see and do in the area, like the Museo Frida Kahlo, these amenities may entice you to chill out all day at Asi.

The ambiance is unmistakably Playa del Carmen, blending natural beauty with tasteful design. From sunrise to sunset, the vibe is relaxed, the service friendly, and the mood pulses with Caribbean hospitality. 

Asi Restaurant & Beach Club: Menu & Drinks

With breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, we can't possibly list all the favorites. Instead, here are samples of what you can expect. 

 The breakfast menu reads like an international who's who of classics. From Mexican staples like the Tamal Montado with chicken, red chile sauce, two eggs, and avocado, to NY bagels and California classics, there's something for every palate. 

Come lunchtime or dinner, the ceviche is a winner. This Peruvian wonder showcases fresh seafood in lime juice and local spices.

Most impressive is the variety of options. You'll find salads, pizzas, burgers, and pasta. But its claim to fame is the off-the-boat-fresh seafood. Whether you choose the catch of the day, the lobster and shrimp dishes, or the succulent octopus specials, your palate is in for a taste sensation. 

The drink menu earns just as much praise. Celebrate a day snorkeling at Yal-Ku Cenote with the Jalapeño Margarita. This refreshing cocktail has lime juice, agave, tequila blanco, orange liquor, fresh jalapeño, and pineapple bites. Plenty of non-alcoholic beverages abound, ranging from various lemonades and juices to soft drinks.

Sure, Asi Restaurant & Beach Club is steps from your vacation rental, but it's also one of Playa del Carmen's best-kept secrets. Visit and discover why it's a popular hot spot.
