WOW! This event will be remembered by us as one of the best evenings we have had during our multiple visits to Mexico. We are lucky to have enjoyed the offerings of such talented residents of Cozumel.
Chef Alexandro and his partner Lorena greeted us at the entrance to their beautiful, spa-like home where we were offered refreshments and introduced to our two animators/guides, Luis and Adrian and our server, Javier. After a few moments of casual conversation we were guided to our table.
The eating area is well decorated and cozy providing a sense of comfort and welcomeness. There is a video being projected on the wall at the front of the room. This video introduces the regions from which inspiration for each dish and drink pairing has been drawn. It offers classic scenes from each region while you are eating each dish. It is an exceptionally crafted compilation video.
Our animators/guides truly demonstrated their knowledge and their pride in country while introducing each region, the dish and the pairing.
THE FOOD, OMG, each dish is perfectly prepared, attractively presented and is appropriately sized for enjoying the flavours while still allowing "room" for all ten different dishes. Later, on the ride home, as we discussed the dishes amongst ourselves, we could only find our favourites. No one had a dish they disliked.
THE PAIRINGS, each drink and wine is from Mexico. Luis and Adrian provided expert guidance on savoring each beverage revealing an exquisite harmony between food and drink – each enhancing the flavors of the other. The most discussed amongst us was the palate cleansing "Chilcuague". It is uniquely Mexican and was a pleasant surprise to our North American mouths.
THE FINISH, we were joined at our tables by our hosts, Chef Alexandro and Lorena, and all staff for a few moments of thanks and small talk. We left the home sated, happy and hoping there would be an opportunity to taste the upcoming Version 2.0 of these experiences.
