This June 20–21, 2025, NIZUC Resort & Spa invites you to an exclusive gastronomic celebration that brings the soul of Oaxaca to the heart of the Mexican Caribbean.

As part of our acclaimed “A Fuego Lento” series, this two-night event, “Oaxaca Visits Ramona,” promises a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience curated by three master chefs at one of Mexico’s top fine dining destinations.

Ramona at NIZUC: Where Luxury Meets Tradition:

Set within the serene beauty of NIZUC Resort & Spa, Ramona has secured its place among the 250 best restaurants in Mexico and recently received the 2024 Cesar Balsa Excellence Award for Best Hotel Restaurant in Mexico from CANIRAC. This recognition reflects Ramona’s dedication to culinary artistry, innovation, and the celebration of authentic Mexican flavors, establishing it as a true destination for culinary enthusiasts and luxury travelers alike.

Masters of Mexican and French Cuisine

Chef José Manuel Baños, guest of honor and founder of “Pitiona” in Oaxaca, is one of the foremost voices in contemporary Oaxacan cuisine. Chef Baños, renowned for his creative use of heirloom ingredients and traditional techniques, brings a culinary philosophy deeply rooted in the cultural richness of southern Mexico. He will join forces with NIZUC’s talented chefs:

• Chef Irving Cupul, a Yucatán native and head chef at Ramona, whose dishes draw from ancestral Mayan traditions to reinterpret regional Mexican cuisine with modern elegance.
• Chef Sylvain Desbois, Executive Chef at NIZUC, whose expertise in French fine dining and commitment to locally sourced ingredients have elevated Ramona to the pinnacle of luxury gastronomy in the Riviera Maya

Together, these culinary visionaries will present a tasting menu that harmoniously blends Oaxacan tradition, Yucatán heritage, and French sophistication, offering guests a transformative fine dining experience in Cancún.

An Immersive Culinary Journey

Guests will savor a meticulously crafted pairing dinner featuring vibrant spices, indigenous ingredients, and inspired reinterpretations of Mexican classics. Each course will pay homage to the land, the fire, and the rich cultural mosaic that defines Mexico’s culinary legacy.
