Review Summary

Balam offers a vibrant and elevated dining experience that transports guests to a Tulum inspired setting with its stunning decor, warm ambiance, and stylish design. The menu features sophisticated, contemporary Mexican cuisine, with many diners praising the flavorful, fresh ingredients, exceptional ceviches, and savory tacos. While the cocktail menu is a standout favorite, the atmosphere is often noted as energetic, making it an excellent spot for a festive night out. While service is frequently described as professional, attentive, and welcoming, some experiences vary regarding wait times and volume levels, particularly during peak hours. Overall, it remains a memorable destination for those seeking high quality dishes and a unique atmosphere in a beautiful location.

Food was good, plates could be a bit more elevated to reflect the upscale positionning of the restaurant. I thought the slow service was due to us being a large group, seems to be consistent accross the comments regardless of the size of the reservation, understaffed.

Superbe découverte dans le RoyalMount. Un resto où l'ambiance & l'esthétique sont très léchées. L'environnement est super beau, les teintes, les accessoires & la luminosité (extérieure comme intérieure) nous donnent l'impression d'être en voyage.
La nourriture était super bonne, les saveurs étaient bien balancées, les bols & les assiettes étaient bien choisis. Les portions sont raisonnables, mais pour un grand mangeur, il se peut qu'il reste sur sa faim. Les serveurs étaient sur la coche. Ils étaient aimables, souriants & très chaleureux.
Le petit bémol, c'est le bruit. Malgré que la musique était entraînante, elle n'était pas très adaptée pour avoir des conversations.

First visit - certainly not the last ! Great food - recommend the tuna appetizer & the lamb main course !

Only reason i give 3 stars is false advertisement of'gluten-free' icons. Looking quickly at menu looked wow tons of gluten-free options, but most if not all of those options were not gluten-free at all. I understand it says tiny'no gluten containing ingredients' so did not say gluten-free per se but these icons are used everywhere for gluten free & the reason we chose the restaurant. So beware if celiac/gluten-free - mostly not gluten free menu even nachos. Service was nice not their fault but to be known for other gluten-free persons

We sat at the bar & had a great bartender/waitress. Loved the Burata salad. Top notch. Also order a couple of different tacos & my favorite was the octopus.

Expensive for the amount & quality of food you get. The service was rushed, we had no time in between the entree & main. The music was very loud (we felt more like being in a bar) & there was an overpowering candle smell or encens…Overall, the food tasted good, but it is not a place that I would go back to. Finally, we were disappointed because we went there to have a tasting menu & it was a false advertisement on the RoyalMount site (see picture). They told us it was only for group…
