4.6 / 5.0(6,924 reviews)

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. Chez Celine...the ultimate breakfast experience! Vegan sandwiches with fresh baguettes, fresh fruit drinks, fresh fruits, you really cannot go wrong with this favorite, and one of the few left on 5th avenue worth spending your money at. If you have not had it ...go. Continental Plus with OJ and cappuccino is beautiful ❤️ I have been having breakfast here since it was $8 with tip for TWO. It is still a top ten restaurant in Playa del Carmen for good reasons! And the desserts... AMAZING 😍 Food and drinks were outstanding! Quality ingredients and fresh. We had the vegan bread with homemade jam and butter, the mushroom croissant with eggs and French goat cheese. Drinks we had the immune booster juice, iced mocha cafe, pineapple water, and chai…all delicious! The immune booster and pineapple water came out with a frothy top which added a little something. Daniel, our server, was lovely and attentive. Highly recommend and will be back again

The service , food , and staff was amazing . I had the scrambled eggs with ham . It was a very earthy taste and it was very good . Our food took a a little while to come out , so they knocked one thing off of our bill . Karla was our server and she was extremely friendly and helpful .

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!
