The restaurant is a little tricky, you have to go through a hotel to get there, but it is well worth it. La Palapa Belga is on the lagoon side and is especially pretty at night. The menu has something for everyone. Service is attentive, reservations may be needed as it is a popular restuarant. More

After reading all the great reviews we were excited about this place. Our first red flag was the very rundown hotel lobby you have to walk through to get to it. Once we found it we were happy with the ambience and view as it sits right on the lagoon. We ordered French onion soup and grilled veggie salad for... More

I have been to this restaurant often and each and everytime it is a beautiful experience. very small, romantic and cozy, overlooking the lagoon, La Palapa Belga's excellent service is only surpassed by the delicious food. If you are looking for fresh oysters (arrive twice a week so call in advance to find out which days), mussels or duck...for those... More

We visited the restaurant on recommendation of a friend. The food was only mediocre - fresh grilled fish was a too greasy for my liking. The atmosphere was not. Ey romantic at all, in fact it was downright strange with large groups of families and couples and groups of friends but by no means a jovial atmosphere. Would not return. More

We had an earlier dinner by Cancun standards and it had just briefly stormed so there was some wind at this outdoor dining locale. The setting is casual with a classy feeling. The food was very nice quality for the value and dining on the lagoon was very beautiful. This place is tucked away on a side street but the... More

We thought the food was good, not great. The view was very nice and it was very nice to get away from the hotels and US chain restaurant crap. My biggest disappointment was after a week and a half in Mexico, the thought of going to a Belgian focused restaurant and get a quality beer was very exciting. I know... More
