An evening of bold flavors, creative bites, and beautiful details for a special event in La Cañada, serving 60 guests.

From Colombian shrimp cocktail served in crispy plantain baskets and seasonal strawberry ceviche to Indian-inspired potato cones filled with mango tartare and salmon, every bite brought something unique to the table. We also served tuna and watermelon ceviche with yuzu leche de tigre, alongside a Spanish-inspired charcuterie board featuring a selection of fine cheeses and cured meats.

A menu designed to bring people together through flavor, texture, and creativity.

Cassava arepas, crispy on the outside and tender in the center, topped with rich, slow-cooked pork belly.

A simple combination that brings together texture, comfort, and bold Latin American flavors. The crisp cassava, the richness of the pork, and the fresh toppings come together in every bite.

Small bites, big flavor.

Avocado mousse is all about texture, balance, and presentation. 🥑

That smooth, creamy texture creates the perfect base for a dish, while its vibrant color brings freshness and contrast to the plate. Whether paired with seafood, vegetables, or used as a sauce, a well-made avocado mousse can turn a simple preparation into something much more refined.

Great plating is not just about making food look beautiful. It’s about creating harmony between every element on the plate.
