Kyoto

What to order

Kyoto is teppanyaki: shared tables around a hot grill, chef show, and a set progression of starters, fried rice or noodles, proteins, and dessert. It’s the most in-demand specialty restaurant on the Barceló Maya complex — reserve on day one at concierge.

• Ribeye teppanyaki
  The default crowd favorite — marbled, showy on the grill, and hard to mess up. Ask for medium-rare unless you prefer well-done.
• Surf and turf (steak and lobster)
  When available, the splurge combo — one ticket to both land and sea without ordering two separate mains.
• Shrimp tempura
  Crispy opener before the heavier grill courses; good for kids and lighter appetites.
• Yakisoba or fried rice
  Filling noodle or rice course from the grill — splits well if your table wants to try multiple proteins.
• Deep-fried ice cream
  Classic teppanyaki dessert — quick, fun, and easy to share.

Seating is often a fixed teppanyaki set; exact courses vary by night and chef.
