Welcome to Bajau

Restaurante Cozumel

Our gastronomic offer is a proposition that respects the flavors of the ingredients enhanced in a very distinctive way. Utilizing domestic products, authentic grilled cooking in our charcoal oven and refined side dishes that will take you on a trip through the savors of Asiatic coasts in a delicate fusion with the Caribbean Islands make BAJAU`S Cuisine a unique experience.

Tendered by exceptional service and camaraderie in a privileged location, illuminated by the sunset and bathed in the dim light of our Caribbean moon, BAJAU is located on the Water Front (Malecon of Cozumel) 3 blocks away from the main square and Ferry dock.

Bajau What is?

The Bajau tribe originates in the South Pacific in countries like Philipines, The Bajau habitats are some of the very few humans to change their genetic code to be capable of holding their breath up to 13 minutes and free dive up to 180 feet, allowing them to fish for their food. Bajau restaurant is our tribute to the Water, Earth, and Fire, combining ingredients and flavors of our land with a touch of Pacific Asian ingredients for a memorable experience.

The architecture and interiors are meant to inspire our guests with industrial touches based in Brutalist architecture, but at the same time trying to create a contrast with the warm and comforting atmosphere to reflect our Caribbean story.

 Verified Save your money and go somewhere else. My all inclusive has better food. Food was just okay. Very expensive. Two meals and a shrimp appetizer with two waters was $150.00 usd. Not worth it. I had the Mahi Mahi, blackened, Completely devoid of flavor. Amazing that you can blackened a piece of meat and make it tasteless. My date had the filet and it was good but certainly not worthy of the high ratings received.

We had a very enjoyable experience at this restaurant. We started with the pork belly appetizer, which was absolutely delicious—tender, flavorful, and definitely something I would recommend. They also brought out bread with a variety of spreads to start. They were fine, but nothing particularly memorable. For our main course, we had seafood pasta dishes. I ordered the shrimp pasta, while my friend had the mixed seafood pasta. Both were very good, and the cream sauce was excellent—rich and flavorful without overpowering the seafood. I also ordered a mezcal cocktail with jamaica, which was very tasty. My only complaint was the glassware. This type of cocktail should really be served in a short Old Fashioned/rocks glass. Instead, it came in a different style of glass that made it clumsy to handle and drink, just didn't suit the drink. The atmosphere was pleasant, but the acoustics definitely need some attention. The restaurant was only about a quarter full, yet it was surprisingly loud and difficult to have a conversation. Overall, though, we had a very good experience. The food was delicious, the service was good, and I would definitely return—especially for that pork belly and the seafood pasta.

We came here for the first time for our honeymoon. The atmosphere is relaxing and intimate. Our server Hector was absolutely fantastic. We had the tomahawk steak and the flavor was out of this world. Best steak I’ve ever had. Will definitely come back again next trip.
