The Grill

at Moon Palace The Grand · Moon Palace Cancun

Argentinean BBQ/SteakhouseBuffet/À la carte

Authentic Argentinean BBQ restaurant in an open-air setting offering international lunch buffet and à la carte dinner featuring the best cuts of grilled meat.

Insider tip: Excellent steaks and impressive desserts — try the Chocotorta or homemade ice creams. Pop in for buffet lunch without reservations; dinner reservations recommended.

What to order

The Grill is The Grand's Argentinean parrilla — an open-air restaurant with smoke-scented charcoal grilling, a no-reservation lunch buffet, and a serious à la carte dinner menu. Returning Grand guests often rank it over JC Steakhouse: the cuts are different (gaucho-style flank and ribeye rather than American steakhouse), the outdoor setting is more relaxed, and the Chocotorta dessert has a dedicated following. Order the ribeye rare to medium-rare.

  • Ribeye (Argentinean cut)
    The standout cut at The Grill — reviewers compare it favorably to off-property steakhouses; order it rare to medium-rare for the best Argentinean result.
  • Flank Steak
    The most distinctively Argentinean cut on the menu; leaner than the ribeye and the right order if you want something authentic to Buenos Aires-style parrilla.
  • Lasagna
    Called out by guests as surprisingly excellent for a steakhouse restaurant; the best non-grilled main and the right call for anyone skipping the parrilla mains.
  • Chocotorta
    The Argentinean chocolate biscuit cake that guests specifically call out as the must-finish dessert at The Grill — don't skip it even if you're full after steak.
  • Homemade Ice Cream
    A consistent bright spot in reviews; pairs well with the Chocotorta for a complete Argentinean dessert course.

Lunch is an open buffet (no reservations). Dinner is à la carte — book ahead since The Grill fills more gradually than Le Château or Habibi but dinner slots still go quickly.
