Playa Spice 2026

Playa Spice returns this fall as a citywide celebration of Playa del Carmen's increasingly diverse restaurant scene. Rather than taking place at a single venue, the promotion gives residents and visitors a reason to eat their way around town, with participating restaurants creating special offers and dining experiences during the campaign.

Playa Spice is part of a larger effort by Playa del Carmen's tourism and restaurant sectors to promote the city as a gastronomic destination. The program has grown beyond a one-time restaurant promotion, with the city's Gastronomic Committee announcing plans to hold Playa Spice twice a year and expand participation to more than 100 establishments.

Expect everything from contemporary Mexican cooking and regional flavors to international cuisine, fine dining and neighborhood favorites. Each participating restaurant sets its own Playa Spice offering, making this a good opportunity to try somewhere new—or revisit a restaurant you've been meaning to get back to.

October 1 – November 15, 2026
Participating restaurants throughout Playa del Carmen

Unlike a food festival held at one site, Playa Spice takes place at the participating restaurants. Participating restaurants include Lido Cocina de Playa, Café Antoinette, Fah, Piaggia Restaurante, Aldea Corazón, Mamita’s Beach Club, Chez Waffle, Ah Cacao Chocolate Café, Los Aguachiles, Chez Celine, Tanuki Playa, Catalania Cocina de Madre and Boston, among others.

Offers may include discounts on food and drinks, special menus, dining experiences and two-for-one promotions. They are not one standard deal available at every restaurant. What is offered, when it applies and whether a reservation is needed will depend on the establishment.

Organized with the participation of CANIRAC Playa del Carmen and the Playa del Carmen tourism and gastronomic sectors.
