On the Road: Jájome, Terrace
On the Road: Jájome, Terrace
Puerto Rico is an island full of fantastic food and gorgeous places. Each corner has its character and uniqueness and presents specialized locally produced ingredients. The Pretexto Food Experience presents the On the Road Dinner Series, our new proposal to take food lovers to these amazing corners and have a unique dining experience carefully curated by El Pretexto’s team. This time, we will collaborate with Michellin-star winner Chef Jonathan Meléndez from Casa Mono, NYC, and fly him monthly to play with the local ingredients in a different setting each time. Every date and place will be completely different from one another, and that includes ingredients and menu.
On Sunday, October 1st, at 2:30 pm, Chef Jonathan Meléndez, a native of Cayey, will join forces with Chefs Xavier Pacheco, Raúl Correa, and René Marichal to present a wonderful dinner with a wine pairing. The Chefs are eager to partake in the inspiration of the Israelí Mezze, a presentation of small tapas at the center of the table and then three plated dishes, all prepared with love and with the flavorful and fresh ingredients that Puerto Rico produces.
Join us to enjoy what will be an unforgettable Sunday afternoon at the recently renovated Jájome Terrace in the gorgeous countryside of Cayey. Reserve your space today and join us for a Michelin-star-level countryside experience!
