Loved this place. My favorite time is for breakfast or lunch but recently visited for dinner and really enjoyed it as well. Besides the menu, their bakery selection is outstanding (in the morning is freshly baked). Fast service last time I was there but it was not crowded as it usually is. Right on the heart of 5th Avenue with mostly outdoor seating
This was the best pastry we had in ten days of being at Playa del Carmen. The eggs were excellent I had scrambled with Boursin, and usually I don’t like it when someone else makes scrambled eggs. I ate every last bite. Juice fresh squeezed, baguettes light inside and crusty outside. Wish I could come every day!
We loved our breakfast here. We did have to wait about 20 minutes for our table, but it was totally worth it. The patio is big and nice to sit in, with many fans and trees around and with beautiful French songs playing. Our waitress Paulina was amazing! Even with all the customers, the heat, the running around and all, she kept a smile and a great attitude. We loved her too!! The food was very very good. And the price surprised us, being way less than we expected. All in all, a great place for breakfast. Highly recommended.
What a lovely place! I just had some chicken wings with a spice mango sauce that were delicious; accompanied by a couple whisky sours, also delicious. Varied menu and, from what I could see on other people's plates & faces, great tasting. Prices are more than reasonable, in fact, coming from the UK, the prices are really cheap. The staff are very pleasant although a little slow but, overall, a wonderful experience.
Chez Celine has consistently provided fantastic breakfast and brunch for us on our vacation. Ordered the croissant sandwich with mushrooms. The pastries are great! Es un lugar muy bueno para desayunar y almorzar.
Food was great. Everything tasted fresh and that may have cured my hangover and reset me for another day of imbibing. We had a big group and they were able to accommodate us pretty quickly. We had outside seating and you can easily people watch in the busy street. While waiting you can do some bird watching on the big tree outside. Looking forward to returning and trying some of the other dishes.
I eat hear every time I’m in PDC. I am pleased with everything I have eaten. I especially like the Jeronimo sandwich. The pest is fantastic. I wish they would sell it!! Always ask god a side of pesto!
Food was well made! I got an Americano with sweets, and they were all great! Main course was a ratatouille omelet, and there was so much flavor. My wife got the French toast, and it was so rich. Thank you to the restaurant for a great experience!
