The food was mediocre for the priceView more
I recently dined at Balam in Royalmount for their Valentine's Day fixed menu, & it was an exceptional experience. As it was my first time eating in the new shopping center, I was excited to try something new, & Balam did not disappoint.

In depth review:
The ambiance struck a perfect balance between cozy & modern, with soft lighting & earthy tones creating a warm & inviting vibe-ideal for a romantic evening.
The meal began with a simple but fresh guacamole, served with crispy tortilla chips, followed by the Ceviche Tulum Campechano. The octopus, shrimp, & branzino were fresh & beautifully balanced with a tangy citrus marinade-a highlight of the evening. The Tuna Tataki was another standout, with tender tuna, a sweet-salty ponzu sauce, & a refreshing mix of cucumber, mango, & coriander that played wonderfully together.
For the shared entree, the Grilled Octopus was perfectly smoky & tender, paired with creamy corn purée & zesty salsa verde. The 28 Days Aged Beef Striploin was cooked to perfection, with creamy potato purée, bone marrow, & a rich red wine reduction that made it a truly indulgent dish.
To end, we enjoyed an assortment of mini desserts-a sweet & fun way to finish off the meal.
The service was top-notch-attentive, friendly, & well-paced. Overall, my first experience at Balam was a memorable one, & I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a beautifully executed, flavorful meal in Royalmount.View more
Went with my girlfriends last night. Decor was beautiful but unfortunately the experience was underwhelming. We ordered a few plates to share. Fish Tacos were pretty, but the fish was dry & overcooked. We ordered a ceviché, that was good, but it was a small portion that didn't come with anything (kind of looking for some kind of chip/tostados to eat with it). Service was unimpressive considering the restaurant wasn't full. We had to get up a few times to go to the bar to remind them to bring things we had requested. Nice place, but left something to desire.
Amazing place for a date, very cozy & intimate. Food is amazing & cocktails are very well balanced. Staff is on top of everything & very accommodating. Definitely recommend this place.View more
Super cute petit resto avec le vibe tulum! Bonne ambiance, bon service & la bouffe est bonne mais pas wow le guacamole & le poisson pourrait être plus relevé selon moi!View more
Beau, bon, abordable (malgré qu'un peu dispendieux pour de la nourriture mexicaine si on compare à ailleurs) mais l'ambiance, l'esthétique & le service justifie bien le prix. Je recommande 😊View more
We recently visited Balam on a Friday night for a special evening, & overall, it was an amazing experience. My wife & I reserved an intimate table, which set the perfect tone for our night out. The food was simply amazing, especially the bone marrow dish, which was absolutely delicious. The friendly front staff & attentive waitress added a warm, personal touch to our visit.
The only hiccup was that it took a while for our cocktails to arrive & for our order to be taken. Despite this, the excellent food & inviting atmosphere more than made up for the delay.
I definitely recommend Balam & look forward to coming back soon!View more
Cher mais superbe expérience culinaire mexicaine!View more
I went there on Saturday night with three other friends & everyone loved their food. Three of us had the duck carnitas & my other friend had the surf & turf & ordered the guacamole for the table, everything tasted amazing! (We're Mexicans). I loved that they bring you nice warm tortillas & different home-made hot sauces on the side, so you can make your own tacos with the meat of your choice. When we ran out of tortillas they happily brought more & didn't charge extra for them. The cocktails were pretty nice too. Great place! We'll be coming back soon!View more
