At the The Restaurant, Las Ventanas introduced a new cuisine to the world, Baja-Mediterranean. It blends the best of Baja with the internationally loved and acclaimed culinary style of the Mediterranean. Baja is known for its spectacular abundance, a virtually unrivaled and diverse harvest from the sea as well as a wealth from the fields and gardens of the peninsula — giving Las Ventanas a rich basket of culinary building blocks to inspire creativity and blend with the traditional light and healthy cooking techniques of the Mediterranean.
"The quality of the ingredients has always been the key to preparing the best Mediterranean dishes, and we have of course applied this fundamental concept to our Baja-Mediterranean cuisine," explained Executive Chef Fabrice Guisset. The resort has conducted extensive research to discover sources for the finest and freshest foods available across the breadth of the 1000-mile-long Baja Peninsula. Superior-quality fruits and vegetables are being procured from a handful of innovative organic farms that grow both typical varieties of the region and exotic ones from far away lands. Seafood comes from fisheries that are also fully organic, as well as master fisherman who angle the deepest, richest waters where the best fish are found.
Baja and the Mediterranean are the ideal combination to create exquisite, mouth-watering dining. Dishes such as Merlot Glazed Tuna with Onion Marmalade, Seared Baby Red Snapper with Vegetables Ratatouille and Mustard Sauce and Roast Suckling Pig with Sweet Potato Puree blend the freshest, most succulent Baja products with the heavenly flavors of the Mediterranean.
Complementing the signature, award-winning Baja-Mediterranean cuisine, The Restaurant also offers two different types of Mexican menus:
THE FLAVORS OF MEXICO MENU features traditional and classic dishes of Mexico exquisitely prepared with a Las Ventanas touch. Changed frequently, they comprise such offerings as Cochinita Pibil con Frijoles Negros en Salsa Ixnipec (pork cooked in banana leaves with red bell pepper sauce and black beans), Tamalito Oaxaqueno (Oaxaca-style pork tamale), and Huachinango a la Veracruzana (Veracruz-style grilled red snapper with tomato-based onion, caper and olive sauce). Or such desserts as Tamal de Chocolate (chocolate tamale with maracuya sorbet) and Pumpkin Flan with Churros.
THE MEXICAN TASTING MENU gives time-honored original recipes a modern interpretation and bold new flavors. For example, a beef enchilada is enhanced with fava beans puree, the pork in a traditional Cochinita Pibil en Salsa Ixnipec is replaced with Lobster Napoleon, and Tamale with Corn Sauce is enriched with foie gras. The tasting menu, which is changed twice a week, is served in multiple small courses of several mouth-watering bites each.
