Barra Galeria de Arte and Restaurant

$$ Fodor's Choice

An art gallery that doubles as a gourmet restaurant, this place is classy and sophisticated, and as such it takes its time for every entrée that it serves. During high season it may open for an evening or two during the weekend. You can be sure that when it is open, the culinary experience will be special.

Cande's Restaurant and Bar

$$

Cande’s is the best dining option in the whole Mayto-Tehuamixtle area. It enjoys an enviable location overlooking Tehuamixtle Bay, just a few steps from the pier, and serves just-caught seafood. It pretends to have Wi-Fi and accept credit cards, but the reality is this place is too far away from civilization to get any kind of signal, and well, that’s its charm, isn’t it?

Playa Rosa Beach Club

$$

A typical beach club with gourmet restaurant aspirations, Playa Rosa Beach Club offers a mix of Mediterranean and Mexican seafood in style. During the day, the place becomes a social gathering for locals and visitors. Playa Rosa beach provides the perfect background, and at sunset the atmosphere is spectacular.

Sea Master

$$
Set on the side of Playa Navidad, Sea Master overlooks the Pacific Ocean, the origin of most of its menu. Widely recognized as one of the top restaurants in Barra, this is a place that tries hard to differentiate itself from the rest of seafood restaurants by the beach. That's why it's been more than 20 years since its opening and its reputation is still as strong as ever.
Av. Miguel López de Legazpi 146, 48987, Mexico
315-355--8296
Known For
  • Gorgeous outdoor terrace overlooking the beach
  • Live music on weekends
  • Sea Master Roll (fish stuffed with shrimp)

Maya

$$

Two Canadian women have teamed up to bring sophistication to San Patricio–Melaque's dining scene. East meets West in contemporary dishes such as tequila-lime prawns and corn, and Gouda-cheese fritters with a smoked jalapeño aioli. Favorite entrées include Szechuan prawns and prosciutto-wrapped chicken. The hours of operation are complex and subject to change; it's best to check the Web site or confirm by phone. There's often live music including jazz or blues.
