CUISINE
DINE WITH NATURE
For some, wellness–and with it, happiness–comes from food. The masterminds behind Chablé Yucatán’s culinary offerings are two of México’s top chefs: award-winning Chef Jorge Vallejo and our Resident Executive Chef Luis Ronzón. Their collaboration has sprouted a contemporary Mexican menu with a unique Yucatecan twist. In concordance with Chablé’s sustainability endeavor, most of the ingredients are either grown on-site or locally sourced from small, local businesses.
OUR CHEFS
JORGE VALLEJO
THE CHEF
The mastermind behind Quintonil, an award-winning restaurant in México, this young Mexican chef has conceived a unique take on contemporary Mexican cuisine. Jorge Vallejo has made waves around the world for his deep understanding and love of the regional ingredients and dishes. Drawing from this knowledge, Vallejo created unforgettable dishes that bring out the best of the flavors of Yucatán.
Since the opening of Quintonil in 2012, Vallejo has seen his restaurant on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list for many years in a row. Before this, the chef had stints at world-class kitchens like Noma, Pujol, Hotel St. Regis, as well as working as Corporate Chef for Grupo Habita.
LUIS RONZÓN
THE RESIDENT EXECUTIVE CHEF
Chablé Yucatán and Ronzón share a long history of triumph and devotion to food. Since joining the kitchen in 2016 as Executive Chef, Ronzón has been part of Chablés accolades, such as being named Best Hotel in the World in 2017 and the coveted Prix de Versailles a year later, when he led Ixi’im, Chablé Yucatán’s fine dining restaurant to achieving the title of Best Restaurant in the World by the same organization.
With a passion for the food traditions of his native México, Ronzón perfected his skills under the wing of renowned Chef Yuri de Gortari. His collaboration with Jorge Vallejo dates back to his time at Quintonil, where we worked as Sous Chef for 3 years.
