Ilios | Greek restaurant in Cancun

October 20, 2025

Our evening at Ilios Greek Restaurant in Playa del Carmen was absolutely unforgettable! 🌿🇬🇷 From the moment we made our reservation, everything was smooth and professional. The restaurant’s beautiful décor and lively Mediterranean vibe made us feel like we were dining in Greece itself. The live music was excellent — full of energy and authenticity — setting the perfect mood for the evening. The entertainment was incredible, from the talented belly dancer to the joyful “Opa!” dance, where even our amazing waitress Axel joined in with so much enthusiasm! She got the whole crowd involved — dancing, clapping, and celebrating together. The energy was contagious, and the plate-breaking tradition made the night even more fun and unforgettable. Axel truly deserves special recognition — she was so active, friendly, and full of life, making sure every moment felt special. The food was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — and the dessert was absolutely delicious. The best part was when my daughter got to help make the ice cream — it was such a fun and interactive experience that made the evening even more memorable for our family. If you’re in Playa del Carmen, Ilios is a must-visit — an unforgettable mix of incredible food, warm hospitality, live music, and joyful entertainment. Opa! 💙✨

This is an excellent place to go to have great ambiance, service, and delicious food. The restaurant is right on the water with a beautiful view of the lagoon. We went earlier in the evening hoping to catch the sunset but a thunderstorm rolled in. We recommend getting to the restaurant around 7/7:30 since the night time shows do not start until 8:30. We ordered the tuna sashimi and giant grilled prawns as starters. If you love raw tuna and olive tapenade the sashimi is the perfect starter for you. The grilled prawns come with a nice sauce and cucumber salad. For our mains we ordered the rack of lamb, the whole salt baked Branzino with sides of shisito peppers and arugula salad. The fish was perfectly baked and super tender, with such great flavor from the dressing they add table side. The lamb was also very tender with the right amount of seasoning. Make sure to save room for dessert because we recommend the flourless chocolate cake and the cheesecake! Overall such a great meal and such a beautiful atmosphere. You are expected to pay a lot more for the meals and services.

This restaurant is a solid choice for a night out. The food was quite good, with a nice variety of dishes to choose from. What sets the place apart is the show. It was a very entertaining and well-produced performance that added a lot to the dining experience. The atmosphere felt vibrant and was a major plus. Overall, we really enjoyed our time and would recommend it for anyone seeking a dinner with a memorable show.

We booked a table at this restaurant for a 40th birthday celebration. We were served by Barrios and Angel, from start to finish all waiters were well mannered and attentive. They had good knowledge of both drinks and food menu, and immediately asked about dietary requirements. They also bought out a cake with sparklers which made the dining experience extra special. The food and drinks were excellent, and our experience at Ilios has been like no other in the most positive way.
