| Palapa
Hemingway is a strikingly beautiful
restaurant and bar on 5th Avenue. The
food can best be described as International with a Caribbean
touch and their mojitos are
dangerously refreshing.
The huge palapa roof is supported
by exotic intertwined tree trunks and
a big tree with wicker lamps suspended
from its branches, creating an artistic and
wild ambiance, sure to enhance your dining
experience. Artists from Cuba and Mexico
have made the plates you eat off, the candle holders
on your table and the huge wall paintings, and the salsa
music playing in the background further helps
making dining at Hemingway a treat for all senses.
The staff is very attentive and the
menu is diverse with seafood, pasta,
salads, grilled steaks and traditional Mexican dishes
(served with handmade tortillas and a range of hot sauces).
The food is beautifully presented and
playful with flavors and colors. We
particularly liked the tender Caribbean
Shrimp in a Curry and Coconut Sauce, the huge
Smoked Salmon Salad and the sweet starter
Banana with Goat Cheese fried with Coconut and next
time we'll go for the roasted lobster.

Interesting food on a culinary level in
one of Playa's most beautiful restaurants
- a feast for all senses for a special night.
