In a major win for kosher travelers heading to Mexico, the Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen has officially launched The Grill, a brand new upscale Glatt Kosher restaurant situated inside the resort. Opening this year in 2022, this oceanfront fine dining destination brings elevated kosher cuisine to the heart of the Riviera Maya.
Elevated Dining Along the Caribbean
The Grill introduces a refined yet inviting dining experience with a contemporary design that blends seamlessly into the Hyatt’s beachfront ambiance. Guests are greeted with natural wood elements, polished finishes, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering direct views of the Caribbean Sea. The space is intimate yet sophisticated, appealing to couples on vacation, families, and discerning diners alike.
Whether seated indoors or out on the deck, guests can enjoy a high-end meal with the gentle sound of waves in the background—ideal for special occasions or just a memorable night out.
A Menu That Marries Classic and Contemporary
The Grill’s menu is carefully curated to reflect both traditional favorites and globally inspired dishes. Highlights from the starters include beef carpaccio, wild grill mushroom salad, and freshly prepared short rib tacos. A full sushi and sashimi offering is also available, giving diners plenty of options to mix and match small plates before diving into main courses.
Signature mains include USDA Prime cuts like filet mignon and ribeye, expertly grilled and served with seasonal sides. The seafood selection includes grouper filet and Pacific salmon medallions, each plated with modern flair. Vegan options such as the house-made vegan burger and vegetarian pasta dishes ensure there’s something for everyone.
Desserts lean into indulgence, with sorbets and chocolate-based treats served with thoughtful presentation. A dedicated kids’ menu rounds out the experience with kosher takes on kid-friendly favorites.
Shabbat and Holiday Meals On-Site
One of the most welcome additions for kosher travelers is The Grill’s robust Shabbat and holiday dining program. The restaurant hosts four-course gourmet Shabbat dinners and lunches, all pre-reserved, allowing hotel guests and local visitors to enjoy a refined, restful Shabbat without compromise.
During Jewish holidays, The Grill adapts its offerings with special menus tailored for the occasion, further establishing itself as a year-round kosher destination in Playa del Carmen.
More Than Just a Restaurant
The Grill also provides kosher room service for hotel guests, as well as poolside dining options for those relaxing throughout the day. The space includes two private dining rooms and a beachfront deck available for events, from small simchas to corporate gatherings.
The restaurant’s seamless integration with the Grand Hyatt makes it a standout amenity for travelers seeking a full-service kosher vacation experience in Mexico.
