Monte Verde

Top choice in Palenque


There's a real Mediterranean vibe to this Italian restaurant tucked away in the forest (do a bit of bird- and monkey-watching while waiting for your lunch!), and though most people go for the delicious thin-crust pizzas, the meat and pasta dishes are worthy of your time. Try the seafood tagliatelle piled high with giant prawns and you'll leave happy.

Frequent live music in the evenings.
