Mardel
Mardel Restaurante
A seaside restaurant built on stilts over the water, serving traditional Veracruz breakfast in the morning and contemporary seafood made from local catch in the afternoon.
Located at 2632 Ávila Camacho Malecón, the building stands on wooden pilings over the sea, with windows on all sides. In 2022 chef Abraham Guillén reworked the concept and menu, using responsibly caught local fish. Breakfast includes Veracruz snacks such as gorditas and picadas, along with eggs Benedict topped with soft-shell crab or lamb. Afternoons focus on the catch of the day, tuna tartare and fish tacos. Breakfast costs about 250 pesos per person; lunch and dinner about 700 pesos. Balcony tables need to be booked in advance, and reservations can be made on OpenTable.
