An absolutely amazing little eatery right in the heart of delightful, beautiful Puerto Aventuras. Located in the Marina Commerciale restaurant and entertainment district just a few minutes walk from the fantastic beach at the Puerto Aventuras Beach Club this Restaurante 081 (cero ocho uno) offers amazing, brilliant creations and well-executed, fantastically presented favourites that are sure to surprise and satisfy even the most discriminating palate. During our stay here we’ve eaten at 081 multiple times, and will likely head back several more times before we leave. The thin-crust neopolitan-style pizza is absolutely brilliant and the best we’ve had here while on vacation (and we’ve tried them all), the salmon-stuffed ravioli is a revelation, the calamari and camarones appetizer, an old favourite, is here served with panache and flair, elevating it tremendously. The seared salmon? Perfect! And the croquetas de papa y hamon, delicious. I could go on and on… the tuna tartare, the ceviche mixto, the hamburgesa classico, the vegan tacos el pastor… I don’t think you can honestly go wrong. Coupled with a selection of delicious, refreshing beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and juices, and decadent and inventive desserts (the pan de elote (house-made cornbread with caramel, vanilla ice cream and popcorn) veritably sings), you will not be disappointed. We found lunch-service to be a tad slow, but attribute that more to the unexpected nature of a large party attending the restaurant shortly after opening rather than a systemic issue as other times the service time was quite acceptable. The staff are informative, efficient, pleasant and responsive to any requests for substitutions or dietary requirements, and are always ready to provide excellent suggestions. Wonderful - highly recommended and...
Read moreThe servers were so fantastic, humorous and personable without being overbearing. Our server, Ivan was awesome. The food and drinks were exactly what we wanted for lunch. We ordered guac and chips for our appetizer, it was excellently seasoned and a perfect size. I had the club sandwich (possibly the best one I’ve ever had) and my husband had the burger which had a lovely flavour on a beautiful bun. The fries were perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper. I also tried the classic lime margarita which was definitely tequila forward but well balanced and a pina colada which wasn’t overly sweet but absolutely refreshing. Would unquestionably recommend for everyone to try this restaurant. ...
Read moreCulinary delight in Puerto Aventuras. We were initially lured in with dessert, a cornbread pudding topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel and popcorn. Genius idea!
Another night we returned and had the croquettes and the VIP burger. Both were good, but not to the level of the dessert. So we’ll keep trying more items on the menu. Next up, pizza; the dough is handmade on site.
The staff here is so attentive to ensure you are comfortable and have everything you need. This is the kind of hospitality that keeps customers returning. Thank you so much for taking...
