I had a terrific blend of healthy and extravagant foods here. I left feeling pleasantly full and with a well satisfied palate. I will definitely be back.

Friendly staff tasty food

Lots of options from different cuisines of the world. Bit pricey but it's in a prime spot with outside seating so to be expected. We had authentic guacamole and French onion soup. Both very tasty.
Been back twice since . Tacos very good as was the pad thai and really yum home made chocolate cake. Decent coffee too.

Eat here at least 2 times per trip

Salvei is so consistently amazing across the board. Service is wonderful and the food is just incredible. We have eaten almost everything on the menu at some point and it is all fantastic. You can’t go wrong here! Arguably the best vegan restaurant in town in my opinion.

Excellent food and variety. Pasta bolognese is a must try. Amazing sauce! Their burgers are very flavorful, and falafel pita also very good. Great service and very friendly.

Lovely international food

We ate at Salvei twice, both dinner, we sat outside on the cute terrace and watched a band at the bar oppresite and the other indoors as was too hot outside and both times the food was very nice... Very hot, fresh, food portion sizes. Also, they had wine! I mention wine as at least 3 of the other vegan restaurants we went to didn't and we sadly hadn't realised before ordering.... Lunch great no wine but holiday dinner I need a wine! Highly rec a visit.

Vegi rolls
Onion soup ( the best vegan onion soup I have ever had )
Pasta Bolognese

Everything was yummy

One of the pasta dishes arrived cold so we asked them to heat it up but other than that great service and friendly staff

Highly recommended

Went for the second time and tried the burger with kombucha. Very good

Absolutely Delicious, Let’s Do It Again Soon

If I did not leave a review, it would be criminal. The service was wonderful. The food was well played it. The ceviche was shockingly appetizing to the point that I was almost embarrassed due to the greediness that peeked out of me. Honestly, I wanted to order another. I did not, and that was a good thing because the risotto dish needed the rest of my time and attention. What can I say about this dish other than “words will not do it justice?” You absolutely must try this dish especially if you do not have hangups with any of the ingredients. if you do, then… qué lástima para ti porque esta comida fue impecable.

With such a strong appetizer and main, I was surprised that the apple pie was just basic, nothing bad yet nothing worth mentioning besides the missing ice cream.

Pros: Food , Service, Vibes

Cons: Apple pie is basic, Dogs in the dining area

Delicious food and excellent service

We had a wonderful dinner at Salvei, we were made to feel very welcome. We had the rainbow sushi roll, Vietnamese summer rolls, pizza rolls, risotto, and creamy pasta, and apple pie. And they were all freshly prepared and delicious. Plus, their cocktails were great too. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Playa del Carmen - you won’t regret it!

They also had a good set of gluten free options as well as gluten free modifications incl. pasta and a gluten free apple pie for dessert.

Pros: Fresh ingredients, Gluten free options, Great service

Delicious but pricey

Extensive menu. We tried the pad thai, the risotto and the chocolate cake. Everything was great, from staff to location, from environment to flavor, until you see the check. =D
Did not give 5 stars only bc of the price.

Pros: Huge menu, Location

Cons: Prices

You must try the mole chilaquiles

They combined two dishes in one. Mole and chilaquiles, the taste was really good, the only thing I was missing in this dish was a sort of protein, or mushrooms, to have a different consistency besides the chips, onions and avocado slices. But the taste was on point.

My friend ordered a ramen, she finished it all, she said it was AMAZING!

And, for desert I got an apple pie, they did tell me it wasn’t that sweet, but it just needed a little bit more of sweetness. Just a tiny bit.

Overall I’ll definitely come back to try other dishes.

Pros: Their mole chilaquiles , Their ramen , The service

Cons: The apple pie was too bland
