Mesa Abierta

Renowned chefs, mixologists, artists, and designers collaborate to craft each edition, making every evening a one-night-only event.

Limited seating ensures a private, elevated chef’s table experience in Riviera Maya designed for connection and conversation.

Multi-course menus celebrate regional Mexican ingredients, heirloom techniques, and bold reinterpretations of tradition.

From artisanal ceramics to live music and curated scents, every sensory detail reflects Mexico’s contemporary creative renaissance.

Mesa Abierta offers a rare opportunity to experience modern Mexican gastronomy within the refined intimacy of Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya.

Unlike traditional restaurant dining, this is a curated evening designed around storytelling, artistry, and human connection—where guests engage directly with the creative minds behind each course.

Select editions feature collaborations with master artisans and contemporary makers, including Mexican pottery and handcrafted ceramics that shape the tablescape itself. From sculptural serving pieces to live demonstrations, these craft-led moments invite guests to experience culture not only through flavor, but through form—where clay, fire, and tradition become part of the story at the table.
