Once inside the opulence of the Grand Velas resort, guests are treated to an indulgent, immersive experience from beginning to end, encompassing live music, assiduous service, and, of course, singular cuisine. As its name indicates, the cooking here is driven by the creative vision of Chef Nahúm Velasco, in the guise of a sophisticated modern tasting menu that emphasizes novel flavor combinations and compelling textures. A meal might progress from spider crab paired with silky jackfruit, to roasted pork with black garlic, cleverly decorated with leaves made from beet and butternut squash, and end with textures of honey from the property's own Melipona beehives. The menu changes regularly, so there’s always an element of surprise alongside the culinary artistry.
