French Ambassador to Attend Opening of the Great Cordon Bleu Classics Festival
Outback Launches New Breakfast Menu
Outback Steakhouse announced the new breakfast menu that the restaurant is offering starting Friday, June 11 and throughout the FIFA World Cup Finals.
Riviera Nayarit will be at the top of the world gastronomy starting June 15, when the French Ambassador to Mexico, Daniel Parfait, officially marks the opening of the Great Cordon Bleu Classics Festival, in which guest chefs from the prestigious academy will present a special menu to guests of Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit and will give cooking classes to the general public at affordable prices.
Riviera Nayarit is a destination that distinguishes itself for its gastronomy, not only because of the boost international and signature cuisines have received in recent times, thanks to important hotels like Grand Velas, but because of the influence it has received since colonial times from European and Asian cuisines.
The Great Cordon Bleu Classics Festival is set from June 15 to 25, and it promises a true experience to the taste buds. Chef Patric Martin, Cordon Bleu Vice president of Culinary Education and Pastry Chef Cedric Carême have designed a sophisticated menu based on dishes that have earned recognition to the institution.
In addition, the distinguished professors will be teaching cooking classes on June 17, 19 and 20. They are three hour classes and French professors will be joined by host Chef Regis Lacombe. Classes are open to the public at USD70 per class.
With events of this magnitude the destination proves it leadership position as to gastronomy, an important tourist attraction to the region where high end restaurants are opening, some of which have earned the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences’ Five Diamond Star Award.
The state government presided by governor Ney Gonzalez and the Tourism Secretariat, headed by Edwin Hernandez Quintero, have given a boost to tourism as development factor in the state, which has allowed for the development of high quality products like that offered by Grand Velas, the only AAA Five Diamond rating Luxury All Inclusive in Latin America
