I would have never thought I would find such an amazing fine dining experience in Cancun’s bustling hotel zone area. The Five-Diamond Restaurant, Tempo by Martin Berasategui in Paradisus Cancun was a delightful surprise and a must-try for those foodies with refined taste buds 😉
Martin Berasategui, Eight-Michelin-Stars awarded Basque chef, joined forces with Melia Hotels & Resorts to offer an exclusive fine dining experience to all Paradisus guests as well as lucky Cancun and Riviera Maya travelers.
The contemporary 7-course tasting menu (highly recommended) is a combination of Martin’s Basque creations, his favorite spices from around the world and a touch of Mexican flavors. Each course is beautifully presented, equally delicious and paired with the perfect wine to bring all of the flavors to life. By the way, for all wine lovers, Tempo has an impressive wine cellar with +200 labels. Including an astonishing bottle of Taittinger Comtes de Champagne 1998; created to commemorate Thibaud IV, who planted the first Chardonnay vines in France in the 13th century!
The restaurant’s elegant ambiance is also designed to complement the experience. Soft lights, mirror walls, white orchids centerpieces with colorful Mexican Folk Art: “Alebrijes” to remind us of where we are. And to top it off, the staff is amazing, knowledgeable and very attentive.
Special thanks to in-house Chef Ismael Medina for the warm welcome and exquisite dinner; Santiago Rivera, Paradisus Cancun Manager for the kind invitation; Bryan Vidal, Paradisus PR for the fun tour around the property & my dear friend Martina Campolo for the beautiful photos and the sweet company 😉
By the way, Paradisus Cancun is a modern luxury all-inclusive resort with outstanding service, beautifully designed rooms, family concierge, wedding gazebo, dreamy bridal suite, spacious meeting spaces, high-tech amenities and breathtaking views. I loved the lobby inspired by the area’s natural cenotes and the sweet scents around the property (a Paradisus signature feature).
