At the Four Seasons Nile Plaza, it was all about Mexico this week.
In light of the country’s 200th year of independence, Four Seasons Punta Minta flew over some of its chefs to create a weeklong Mexican dining experience for local guests, and an eight piece mariachi band to boot.
Running up until the evening of Sept. 27, one can dine around the hotel’s pool. A buffet is set up with dishes that are authentically Mexican.
I enjoyed a traditional spicy bean soup, quesadillas prepared at a live cooking station, and chicken in a spicy chocolate sauce. I also sampled some Veracruz style fish. The chefs generously shared the recipe.
