About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Charming

Punta Corcho takes its name from the old title of what we now know as Puerto Morelos, in the Riviera Maya. Founded in 2015 by chef Daniel Ovadía, it became his first project in the region, bringing a passion for fresh and creative cuisine that pays homage to the culinary richness of the Caribbean.
The menu offers a vibrant reinterpretation of seafood flavors, highlighted by the use of artisanal methods that add a unique smoky touch to each dish. The chefs have created a perfect balance between tradition and innovation, transforming local and sustainable ingredients into unique sensory experiences. Each creation at Punta Corcho is a tribute to both Caribbean classics and culinary avant-garde, making the restaurant a regional benchmark now recognized internationally with a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand.
Inside Punta Corcho, "Fisherman’s" offers innovative cocktails with fermentation, maceration, and marine infusion techniques, elevating the dining experience.

Fantastic meal with our family of 4! Delicious lobster pizza, surf and turf, and soft shell crab tacos. The desserts were delicious too…amazing chocolate lava cake. I would recommend bringing a sweater as the breeze off the ocean was strong and got chilly. I would also suggest going before sunset, as it’s fun to be able to see the water.

Simply spectacular! We took a taxi here and would do that again even if it was an hour trip. Destination restaurant. If you are staying near Puerto Morales, lucky you! Cocktail list long and unique and drinks delicious . Braised shortribs and seafood risotto both fantastic. All 6 at our table thrilled that we found this restaurant. Yum.

Excelente comida y ambiente, el servicio me dejó un sabor agridulce, si bien uno de los meseros era sumamente atento y nos recibió a la llegada, el que nos asignaron en la mesa, estuvo más enfocado en la mesa grande de extranjeros que la nuestro, pero en general bien

Upstairs and away from the mildly busy street level, this cozy thatchy place gives an amazing view of the town centro and dock areas of Punto Morelos. If your table isn’t ready they have a great little speak-easy area that you can get a drink/app while you wait. We dined there twice, once without res (got a lucky opening) and second time res on Open Table. Fabulous drinks and food offerings. Staff were super helpful with only a mild language barrier (I have a pretty weak Spanish vocab). There’s a reason it has a Michelin nod.
