Description

Good to Know

Have you ever seen a kitchen with six different stoves? Here we have it, and you and your partner, family and friends, can use it! Amazing, isn't it? The best way to enjoy a culinary experience is by having all the guests cook at the same time, and we make that happen! It’s a wonderful opportunity to have fun, learn from one another, and share culinary tips while also benefiting from the main chef's suggestions. A lovely garden atmosphere completes the experience! Transportation from/to downtown Playa del Carmen is included too, from an official meeting point, avoiding you to get public transport.

Lunch

Ceviche timbale with layers of mango, avocado and sweet potato. Fish and shrimp in achiote wrapped in banana leaf stuffed with mushrooms. Flamed bananas with eggnog sauce served with ice cream

Bottled water

A complimentary bottle of water x person

Fabio accompanied us and made us host (very friendly), you lie the chef was the one who showed us all the corridors, very professionally, also taught us about all the chiles what is in Mexico, and we ended up with a class and tequila and! Very delicious! I recommend it to 1000!!!
