What just might be the most exclusive restaurant in the world, has officially opened as of August 24th. With a name just as unique as the restaurant itself Mesa1 is located at the new W Punta de Mita in Punta de Mita, Mexico, which has not only left their patrons eager to return to their one of a kind atmosphere but also brought an exclusiveness that is incomparable to any other fine dining establishment today.
The culinary escape is situated on an islet in the middle of a small lake, which makes arriving there just as hard as getting a reservation. In order to reach Mesa1 you would have to stroll across an array of stepping stones that fades under the water as soon as you make it to the other side. You are then seated around a 16 seat outdoor table that was expertly carved from the massive truck of an indigenous Parota tree. As you enjoy the heavenly setting, a team of private chefs will show you a seven-course culinary masterpiece tasting menu of your choosing that is unique to each individual and is created right in front of your table without duplication of any dishes what so ever amidst your group. In fact the restaurant only seats one party a day which gives you a perfectly peaceful meal, with no distractions in sight. Does that not sound simply blissful?
Accompanying Mesa1, W Punta de Mita gives their 119 guest villas and away spa something truly special with three other unique areas for the most delicious cultivated meals such as, Venazu for Mexican culinary specialties, Cheviceria for light seafood gourmet, and Spice Market, which includes a pan Asian inspired menu by master chef Jean Georges Vongerichten. But don’t let all these fine dining options mislead you, because showing up in a shirt and tie is not required, the dress code here is simply casual.
