Every November, Puerto Vallarta proves why it’s one of Mexico’s great food capitals. This year, during the 31st Festival Gourmet International (November 12–22), our sister hotel Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel & Romantic Getaway presents Mareas & Brasas: a five-course, four-hands chef’s table on November 18, 19 & 20.

At Hacienda Buenaventura, we believe Mexican cuisine is a way of telling the world who we are — and this dinner proves it, with two Mexican chefs, Pacific seafood and the fire of live embers. If you’re staying with us as a family, it’s the perfect night for mom and dad to experience the festival one course at a time.

Contemporary Mexican Cuisine: Sea and Fire

Mareas & Brasas brings together two techniques as old as our culinary tradition itself: what the sea provides and what fire transforms. Five courses that move between both worlds, served chef’s table–style at Elena 1927, Villa Premiere’s restaurant, where every dish arrives with a story.

What the tide brings in, the embers bring to life.

Two Jalisco Chefs, One Table

Chef Rogelio Domínguez, Host Chef

As Villa Premiere’s executive chef, he knows the bounty of Banderas Bay inside and out, and welcomes to Elena 1927 a fellow chef whose take on the sea complements his own.

Guest Chef Freddy Monteros of Erizo de Mar

Based in Guadalajara, Freddy Monteros leads Erizo de Mar, a seafood restaurant known for its creative, seasonal approach. He’s part of a new generation of chefs convinced that Mexican cuisine still has plenty left to surprise the world with.
