Of the many reasons to visit Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, dining out is sure to top the list. You can find the incredible food at any number of restaurants that range from burger-selling street carts to mom-and-pop hole-in-the-wall spots to fine dining establishments. However, two standouts are Bistro Soleiado in Ixtapa, owned by Edmond Benloulou, and El Mediterraneo in Zihuatanejo, owned by his younger brother Julian. Once here, he worked at several restaurants before opening a few of his own, including his current venture, Bistro Soleiado. He opened the first El Mediterraneo restaurant on the malecón, the waterfront walkway closest to the pier, but later moved to its current location next to the Catholic church on Cinco de Mayo.
