The C-Grill is a beachfront restaurant in the Thompson Hotel’s property called The Beach House on 8th Street in the center of Playa Del Carmen. This restaurant brings a little “Playa” back to Playa because it is a small-scale restaurant on the beach, only this time it is with a chic twist. This is an upscale restaurant serving all three meals a day beachside.

Our Recommendations
There are not many beachfront restaurants in Playa Del Carmen, but this is one. If you want to sit overlooking the ocean for an elegant evening, this is a good choice. The setting is small enough to feel exclusive and the view on a beautiful day will make your meal here even better. Since they have the same lunch and dinner menu right now, we recommend going for dinner. Since this is a more upscale restaurant the prices will justify a more elegant evening meal. This restaurant is much better that similarly priced ones on 5th Avenue and more relaxed. Come here for a nice dinner and enjoy the sea breeze.

About The Author
We decided to have dinner last night, and I am sad to report the following,
The place was close to empty perhaps 16 people including our party of 6. The service was appalling, and our waiter was either new or had no idea. We ordered a set of appetisers that were ok. We ordered mainly chicken and lamb skewers and frilled salmon and a few sides mainly the potatoes and grilled beetroot that was fantastic. the potatoes with truffle sauce (220 pesos OMG) The chicken skewers were over cooked and the lamb tasted if the meat was off. the salmon dishes ordered were both just ok. Also one of our guests orders was incorrect. In summery, the prices are way too expensive (they wanted 980 pesos for a streak which is nuts. I must say they did offer us a complementary deserts and a local discount that i was appreciate of. Perhaps teething problems as its only been open a few weeks. Cannot recommend.
