After 25 years of operation, Chef Guillermo González Beristáin’s flagship remains a standard bearer for Monterrey’s fine dining scene, offering skillful cooking that combines Mexican cuisine with accents from Asia and France. The stylish space offers diners a choice between an ample à la carte offering and a tasting menu that best highlights the kitchen’s talents. Flavorful dishes, characterized by a sense of balance and astute seasoning, range from a sweet tamal of winter squash paired with crème fraîche and caviar, to a dish of crisp-skinned quail with foie gras mousseline, pistachios, and cherries. Desserts end the meal on an elegant note, like a Pavlova filled with raspberry compote and a sorbet of lychee and white tea.
