Cuisine de l'auteur Riviera MayaCuisine de l'auteur Riviera Maya

Once inside the opulence of the Grand Velas resort, guests are treated to an indulgent, immersive experience encompassing stunning ocean views, assiduous service, and, of course, singular cuisine. As its name indicates, the cooking here is driven by the creative vision of Chef Nahúm Velasco, who delivers a sophisticated tasting menu that emphasizes novel combinations and compelling textures. A meal might progress from spider crab paired with silky jackfruit, to smoked bacon with tuna, or perhaps a foam of Jerusalem artichoke with huitlacoche and mushrooms. The menu changes regularly with ample originality, surprise, and culinary artistry. A wine pairing celebrating boutique growers in Mexico is a worthy and enlightening splurge.
