- El Delfín at Garza Canela in San Blas, Carolina in The St. Regis Punta
Mita Resort, and Emiliano Cocina y Vino in Tepic all reasserted their positions
for the third year in a row.
For the third
year in a row, three Nayarit restaurants —Carolina at St. Regis Punta Mita
Resort, El Delfín at Garza Canela in San Blas, and Emiliano Comida y Vino in
Tepic—reasserted their positions on the list of 120 Best Restaurants in Mexico
2018 Edition in the Guía México
Gastronómico, which is published by Culinaria
Mexicana and sponsored by S. Pellegrino and Nespresso.
On Monday,
January 15th there was a gala dinner presentation of the guide at the
Mexico City St. Regis Hotel, where they also awarded the commemorative plaques.
Present were
representatives of the restaurants chosen by the editorial board of voters,
which is made up of the 50 most influential people in Mexico’s culinary
industry, including chefs, critics, journalists and researchers, who visited
the acclaimed restaurants over the course of the past year.
The list is
considered by experts as one of the most complete of its kind in the country,
thus the importance of being on it. Of note is the fact the restaurants are not
sorted by quality but alphabetically, which means one restaurant is not ranked
higher than the other.
According to
Claudio Poblete, director of Culinaria
Mexicana, the guide is published in order to recognize the work and effort
of the cooks and chefs, both traditional and professional.
As for the
Nayarit restaurants included in the list, these are three of the best
representatives of Mexican cuisine, having been chosen for the quality of their
service, their culinary offer, and their price-quality ratio, among other
factors.
“Nayarit’s
cuisine is enjoying its finest hour,” said Marc Murphy, director of the Riviera
Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) and the Bahía de Banderas Hotel
and Motel Association (AHMBB). “Our gastronomy is one of the cornerstones of
the Riviera Nayarit as a tourism destination and it’s very important that our
restaurants are recognized for their quality.”
About the restaurants:
El Delfín at Garza Canela in San Blas
This
restaurant stands out for the excellent service of its owners and their
employees, and especially for what makes clients fall in love with San Blas:
its food. For Betty Vázquez, Chef-Owner of the restaurant and Culinary
Ambassador for the Riviera Nayarit, “cooking is the art of combining flavors,
textures, aromas and colors,” and she thinks it evolves but never loses its
essence. El Delfín astounds its every year with new creations that make each
visit an unforgettable experience.
Carolina at St. Regis Punta Mita Resort
St. Regis
Punta Mita’s Carolina restaurant is an acclaimed restaurant with Five AAA
Diamonds that offers guests modern Mexican cuisine in a charming atmosphere. The
meticulous elements that make up its design include opulent textures,
sophisticated prints and hand-created lamps with a mother-of-pearl finish. The
culinary team creates their menus daily with the freshest produce in the
region, respecting specialties such as the pozole
verde, served with ceviche, pork and a tascalate
for desert.
Emiliano Comida y Vino in Tepic
Located in a beautiful 18th-century
plantation, Emiliano Comida y Vino opened its doors to serve exquisite regional
haute cuisine and contemporary Mexican cooking. Its elegant ambiance and
professional wine cellar together with the warmth of its people make it the
best place to dine in the city of Tepic. “We’re very happy to have received
this plaque for the third year in a row, which places Emiliano Restaurant’s
team as one of the top 120 in Mexico, and deepens our commitment to our
clients,” said chef Marco Validivia.
