"After a remodel and several chef turnovers, Nü Tulum continues its commitment to an experience that has earned the restaurant several accolades. The foundation is cooking sustainably with fruits and vegetables sourced from fair-trade farm Mestiza de Indias, fish and prawns from a local fisherman, and local meats and poultry from La Tiendita in Playa del Carmen. The result is a modern Caribbean menu at a romantic candlelit restaurant shrouded in greenery. Order a glass of Mexico-made Lágrimas San Vicente Verdejo to enjoy with a tart, nuanced kanpachi ceviche in a green apple leche de tigre, or start with wood-fired Campeche prawns in a spicy Tajín bearnaise. The marriage of Caribbean Sea and Mayan jungle sets the tone for main dishes like a roasted catch of the day, served atop creamed cassava in a pool of salsa of dried chilies, garnished with fried cassava strips." - Bill Esparza
