Brigtsen's - Cozumel

Located uptown away from the French Quarter. Just a few blocks off the St Charles streetcar line. Food is unbelievably good and I grew up in a restaurant family for what that’s worth.

Best restaurant ever! Food was heavenly. Jane was a wonderfully kind and engaging server. Everything was top-notch here. No wonder it took a week to get in.
