WHERE MIND, BODY AND SOUL OPEN TO THE PRESENT
CUISINE
SAVOR THE ESSENCE OF MEXICO PAST AND PRESENT
Food is sustenance, nourishment – and pleasure. The cuisine
at Chablé Yucatán reflects Mexico’s timeless mastery of
ingredients, contrasts, beauty and harmony. Savor artful
dishes that celebrate the bounty of the land and sea,
prepared with stunning brightness of flavor.
Most ingredients are either grown on-site in the Mayan raised
gardens, or ka’anches - or sourced from local small business.
Mexico’s rich culinary heritage is on full display here, transformed
by modern, innovative preparations that look as incredible as
they taste
OUR CHEFS
JORGE VALLEJO
All of Chablé Hotels’ restaurants are led by one of Mexico’s
top chefs, Jorge Vallejo, the mastermind behind México
City’s award-winning Quintonil, which has been included on
The World’s 50 Best Restaurants lists since 2015.
Jorge’s passion for cooking began long before he and his wife,
Alejandra Flores, opened Quintonil; after graduating from Centro
Culinario Ambrosia in México City, Jorge gained hands-on experience.
He worked with Princess Cruises, as executive chef at The St.
Regis Mexico City’s Diana Restaurant, spent a month in the kitchen
at Noma in Copenhagen, and then worked at Pujol in México City.
Jorge’s deep experience and his artistry converged when Quintonil
opened in 2012, and his leadership of Chablé Hotels’ restaurants
is a deepening of his ability to use the best organic, local and
seasonal ingredients to elicit flavors and textures that offer
a personal and deeply sensorial experience.
EVERY MEAL IS A CELEBRATION OF NATURE’S BOUNTY
Ixi’im –“corn” in Mayan – is a refined oasis that offers Mexican cuisine with a local approach and elegantly merges tradition and innovation on the plate. Architecture and design explore the interplay between the past, the present, and the elements of fire and water.
KI’OL
Ki’ol – “healthy” in Mayan – serves elaborate dishes that elevate the freshness and flavor of each ingredient while also considering whole, balanced nutrition.
CASA PRINCIPAL
The former hacienda owner lived in the Casa Principal, or main house. Today, the beautifully restored former home with an expansive terrace and water features holds a bar, a library and the Chablé art collection.
CASITA MAYA
This palapa – a small shelter made from palm fronds, common in tropical culture – is a portal to the Yucatecan cuisine of legend. Here, in intimate cooking classes and workshops, local cooks bring centuries-old recipes to life, and the distinctive flavors are matched by the warm smiles found in so many Mexican kitchens.
SIKAR
Sikar Bar's inviting placement beneath trees and near a verdant garden invite close conversation and shared laughter over classic spirits. Inside, a stunning glass wall exposes the original walls of this former home of the hacienda's foreman – their streaked, almost impressionist-painting-esque surfaces a perfect backdrop for the chill, luxurious space.
