Don’t forget to bring a hearty appetite; the portions here are ginormous and are big enough to share.

A breakfast burrito establishment fit for royalty, the King Burrito Express is a top spot in which to relax and enjoy brunch in Cozumel. Start your morning by sitting at one of their outdoor red tables facing the ocean, a perfect place in which to eat a delicious, warm breakfast. You can spend the whole day at King Burrito as there is an array of lunch and dinner options including tostadas, cocktails and tasty tacos. King Burrito is also now an appealing option for the casual Sunday-brunch goer, as the restaurant recently added Sunday opening hours.

Restaurante del Museo

Offering perhaps the most beautiful brunch view in Cozumel, the Restaurante del Museo inside the Museo de Cozumel is a great place to start a relaxing Sunday. Sit atop the balcony and enjoy the ocean breeze while dining on anything from pancakes and freshly squeezed orange juice to fruit and French toast. After brunch guests can choose to tour the museum, an establishment which gives an overview of the island’s history. It also exhibits a mixture of local and international art.

Casa Mission

Restaurant, Mexican, $
Walk along Casa Mission’s tiled garden path and step into a rustic Mexican dining experience. Sleek white walls, intricate tile work and many decorative crosses characterize the interior, calling to mind old Mexican Catholic traditions. Breakfast at Casa Mission allows diners to look out onto the beautiful gardens while dining on tasty food. The establishment does offer a breakfast delivery option, however it is the rural atmosphere here that makes the dining experience so special. Don’t miss it if you can help it.

La Cocina de Silvia

La Cocina de Silvia blends a classic Mexican breakfast with American brunch favorites. Just like being in a friend’s kitchen, customers can chat with the chef while dining on large portions of scrambled eggs, huevos rancheros or fresh fruit and orange juice, among other things. Guests can also purchase a rich coffee blend for a morning pick me up. La Cocina de Silvia rightly earns its reputation as a reasonably priced option which can accommodate everyone.

Pastelería Zermatt

Bakeries are a great place for breakfast with a sweet side, and Pastelería Zermatt is popular with tourists and locals for the tasty baked goods it offers. Located in the heart of the tourist center, the establishment has outdoor seating where guests can sit and talk over coffee and a slice of cake. There is an array of freshly baked breads and pastries here, as well as chocolate croissants, multigrain buns and empanadas.

Palmeras

Restaurant, Mexican
Palmeras is a tropical establishment, with a name inspired by a palm tree, and a menu full of typical island foods. One of the breakfast favorites here is the Island Combination, a ham and pineapple omelet served with French toast, bacon, sausage and homemade bread. Another popular choice is the stuffed Mexican omelet, served with refried beans and bread on the side. Palmeras prides itself on its culinary expertise, and the brilliant chefs here have been providing fantastic food with the establishment for more than 30 years.

Blue Angel Restaurant

Hotel Restaurant, Mexican
The Blue Angel Restaurant offers diners a heavenly brunch experience, and is a charming establishment attached to the Blue Angel Resort. Visitors can order from a variety of omelets and breakfast sandwiches here. A good pick is the Diver’s Omelet, stuffed with sweet peppers, cheese, ham, bacon, mushrooms, onions and spinach. It is creative in both name and ingredients. Don’t miss the Gringo Sandwich, a tasty concoction of bacon, tomato, cheese and egg.
