DOWNTOWN. Vegetarian visitors to Cancún don't have to settle for just rice and beans, especially if they select 100% Natural as their dining destination. This trendy restaurant serves fresh fruit, yogurt and granola, salads, and a variety of soups. Although burgers are available, the focus is definitely more toward the health-conscious. For dessert, patrons can cool off with some sugar-free ice cream.

ZONA HOTELERA. If you decide that the local Mexican cuisine just isn't spicy enough, head over to Blue Bayou for authentic Cajun fare. Located inside the Hyatt Cancún, Blue Bayou offers classic Cajun dishes like jambalaya and crawfish as well as favorites like blackened prime rib and chicken Grand Bayou. Plus, diners are really swept into a New Orleans frame of mind with nightly jazz and Dixieland music.

ISLA MUJERES. With most eateries opening later in the day, Cafécito offers the morning crowd some of the finest selections in Cancún. Choose from waffles, yogurt and fresh fruit, egg dishes, or fruit-filled crêpes to give you a mid-morning boost. Cafécito also serves up a selection of coffees. If you've already reached your coffee limit for the day, then come back for a light lunch of fresh-baked bread and deli-style sandwiches. You'll be rewarded with a bright, sunny décor that is ideal for both chatting and eating.

ZONA HOTELERA. Elegance and refinement are distinct qualities of Club Grill, which offers a Continental menu that mixes world favorites with a little local flavor. The tasteful décor features wood trimmings and an anteroom furnished with comfortable couches where customers can relax with a cocktail and Cuban cigar before dinner. Entrées like grilled lamb and peppered scallops are top menu choices, and those looking for a touch of Mexican cuisine will not be disappointed by the bean and lentil soup spiced by habañero chili.

ZONA HOTELERA. If its seafood you're craving, Lorito Joe's is ideal. You can order a la carte (ceviche, avocado stuffed with shrimp, snow crab, shrimp scampi, mahi mahi, grilled steaks and fajitas are just a few of your choices). But they have a magnificent shrimp and lobster buffet, where you can load up on salads and soups, calamari, coconut shrimp, tamarind shrimp, fried shrimp, blue crab, poached or steamed lobster, salmon and more. You will not leave hungry! As an added bonus, the dining room overlooks the lagoon, so the view is lovely.
