Frommer's Review
The exquisite Baikal is the best place in Acapulco for an over-the-top dining experience, although you will be paying top dollar for the view. You enter from the street, then descend a spiral staircase into the stunning bar and restaurant, awash in muted tan and cream colors of luxurious fabrics and natural accents of stone, wood, and water. The restaurant itself is constructed into the cliff, providing sweeping views of Acapulco Bay's glittering lights. The large dining room, with a two-story ceiling, has comfortable seating, including sofas that border the room. The creative menu combines fusion fare, and then adds a dash of Mexican flare. Start with the scallops in chipotle vinaigrette or the oriental-style salad. Notable entrees include steamed red snapper with huitlachoche, baby back ribs with foie gras, or medallions of New Zealand lamb in a sweet garlic sauce. There's also an extensive selection of wines. Baikal has a private VIP dining room, wine cellar, and elegant bar, ideal for enjoying a sunset cocktail or after-dinner drink. It's east of town on the scenic highway just before the entrance to the Las Brisas hotel.
