This restaurant, suspended over the lagoon waters like an island unto itself, is a destination within a destination for any self-respecting seafood lover While the sign says, SINCE 1683, don t assume that the city of Canc n was built around the restaurant (although it could have been); it s based on a legend of a pirate named Lorenzillo who pillaged and plundered in efforts to find a good meal While dining here isn t exactly a steal, live lobster is the overwhelming favorite, and part of the appeal is the chance to select your dinner out of the giant lobster tank The most romantic tables are on the sunset terrace or along the window of the two-story thatchedroof building In addition to the lobster it comes grilled, steamed, or stuffed good bets are the shrimp stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon, the admiral s filet coated in toasted almonds and a light mustard sauce, or the seafood-stuffed squid The atmosphere is festive and friendly, and children are very welcome
