Every year we come to Cancun for Christmas and look forward to our meal at Cenacolo. This was our first time trying this location! It didn’t disappoint. Everything was perfect, from the food to the service. The beef carpaccio with truffle was amazing as was the pasta carbonara with bacon! Will definitely return to the Puerto Cancun location again.

About the restaurant

This beautiful, upscale restaurant is one of the establishments that will surely meet and exceed the expectations of a discerning public seeking a truly exceptional dining experience.

However what really characterizes Harry's beyond its beauty and location, is the extraordinary high quality of its gastronomic offer. The kitchen specializes in the very reduced use of condiments, the purpose is to allow the natural flavors of the ingredients to be used flourish.

Harry's Prime Steakhouse & Raw Bar is the best place to enjoy that special occasion. From its beautiful architecture, sophisticated ambience and artistic cuisine to the extensive wine list and impeccable service will make it memorable.
