VERIFIED LUXURY

Fairmont Mayakoba, Riviera Maya’s Tauro Steakhouse radiates a charming bistro ambiance featuring elegantly arranged tables with both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Upon entry, you encounter a martini bar, complemented by a grand piano. The highlight of the main dining area is a cozy glass wine cellar carrying selections from around the globe, including Mexican labels, and a visible butcher's room. Following the hotel’s recent three-year renovation, the restaurant boasts a fresh, sleek look, providing picturesque views of Fairmont's mangrove canals and the adjacent dock, making it one of the resort’s standout dining options.

The menu at Tauro Steakhouse curates a diverse selection of international cuts and in-house aged options. These delectable proteins are thoughtfully paired with organic sides and vegetables sourced from a nearby farm. For those with dietary restrictions, including vegetarians, vegans and children, an array of alternative options is available.

Alongside its culinary offerings, Tauro Steakhouse’s martini bar lets you indulge in the eponymous drink and other signature tipples that pay homage to the restaurant's Taurus-inspired namesake.
