A secret few know: the perfect dessert by the lagoon

When people think of Cancun, the first things that come to mind are crystal-clear waters, tropical energy, and world-class seafood. But behind the fresh, salty flavors of the Caribbean, there’s a hidden treasure that surprises every guest with its sweetness: Fred’s Cancun, a lagoonfront restaurant that has turned its desserts into an essential part of the dining experience.

In a destination where seafood usually takes center stage, Fred’s has mastered the balance between ocean flavors and a sweet finale that delights every visitor. Here, desserts aren’t just an afterthought — they’re a reason to linger a little longer.

Fred’s: more than just a seafood restaurant

Overlooking the Nichupté Lagoon, Fred’s Cancun is known as one of the best seafood restaurants in Cancun, but it has also earned a reputation for its remarkable selection of desserts. Each creation combines textures, flavors, and temperatures designed to awaken every sense.

The tropical atmosphere, the Caribbean breeze, and the glowing sunset reflected on the water make every dessert feel even more special. It’s an experience that goes beyond taste — it’s the perfect way to close a meal that celebrates both the sea and the sweetness of life.

Apple Pizzeta: the Caribbean’s golden touch

Among the most beloved options on the menu is the Apple Pizzeta, a refined version of a timeless favorite. A crispy puff pastry base is layered with pastry cream and cream cheese, while slices of apple, pecans, and caramel sauce add richness and depth.

At the center, a scoop of vanilla ice cream brings balance — cold against warm, creamy against crunchy. It’s a dessert that proves that sophistication can also be comforting.

Giant Coco Cheesecake: a tropical dream

The Giant Coco Cheesecake is a love letter to the Caribbean. Made with a crunchy nut base, sweet coconut, and a smooth, creamy texture, it’s topped with toasted coconut for an extra layer of flavor and aroma.

Light yet indulgent, it’s one of the most iconic tropical desserts in Cancun, perfect for pairing with a sunset view over the lagoon while savoring the laid-back rhythm of Fred’s.

Tsunamisú: an Italian classic with a Caribbean soul

The Tsunamisú takes the traditional tiramisu and gives it new life with a tropical twist. Soft layers of sponge cake are soaked in coffee syrup and layered with pastry cream, mascarpone, and cocoa powder.

Rich yet balanced, it’s a dessert that honors the original while adding a touch of warmth and personality — a symbol of how Fred’s blends international flavors with the soul of the sea.

Crepe Cake: sweetness with a touch of spectacle

The Crepe Cake doesn’t just captivate with flavor; it’s a show in itself. Thin layers of crepes filled with sweet cream, Snickers® pieces, toasted walnuts, and cajeta come together in harmony — but the grand finale happens at the table, where it’s flambéed with whisky right before your eyes.

The combination of fire, aroma, and the reflection of the sunset makes this dessert one of the highlights of the Fred’s experience: a perfect blend of artistry, indulgence, and tropical charm.

Matilda’s Cake: chocolate indulgence at its finest

The Matilda’s Cake is pure temptation. With five layers of moist chocolate sponge, hazelnut cream, and rich frosting, topped with brownie chunks and caramel pearls, it’s every chocolate lover’s dream.

Each bite strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and texture — an unforgettable ending to a meal that captures the warmth of the Caribbean in every detail.
