Palmilla's signature restaurant is headed by celebrated chef Charlie Trotter and features the freshest local ingredients seasoned with classic Mexican flavors.

Bucking the trend for rustic oceanside hotel dining, C has a sleek and shiny interior invoking the glamor of a city restaurant.

Eating here is always a special occasion and we rate it as one of the best hotel dining experiences in Mexico. The special degustation menu is highly recommended, and those lucky enough to sit at the invitation-only chef's table in the show kitchen are in for a real treat.

If you can't bear to sit inside on a balmy evening, there are also tables on the terrace and verandah. The dress code is "Resort Elegant" in the evening - button-down shirts, dress slacks, evening dresses etc. Jackets are optional. In the daytime it's more casual, but shoes and bathing suit cover-ups are required.

The glamorous bar at the C restaurant is a memorable place to watch the sun set. Live entertainment, often Jazz, can be enjoyed here before and after dinner.
