By: Caribbean Journal Staff - June 22, 2016

Five top Mexican chefs are coming to the Grand Velas Riviera Maya for a major menu event this fall.

Chefs Zahie Téllez, Carlos Gaytan, Francisco Ruano, and Mikel Alonso, some of the Mexican culinary world’s top chefs, are heading to the all-inclusive hotel from Oct. 5-9 for “The Best of Mexico Riviera Maya.”

The event is a special 10-course tasting menu that will be offered over the four nights. Better yet? It’s included in the daily rate for all guests staying at the property.

It complements what we call our international culinary tour as we feature cuisines of the world in our Grand Velas gourmet restaurants where guests can dine at no additional charge.”

The hosts of the event are Chef Ricardo de la Vega of Frida, and Michel Mustiere, the executive chef of the resort.
