Napa looks to our neighbour to the north for inspiration in creating fresh, light California cuisine. The American breakfast is served buffet-style, where you’re invited to start the day in the dining room or on the outdoor terrace. At lunch and dinner, you’ll make your selections from à la carte items such as Black Risotto, the Explosive Cesar Salad or other fusion favourites. Naturally, the international wine list features some of California’s best such as Bargetto Pinot Noir and Raymond Reserve Merlot.
One of the pleasures of visiting Mexico is experiencing authentic flavourful Mexican food. El Patio fills the bill with gourmet cuisine, an extensive wine list, impeccable service and a romantic setting. Taking a nouvelle approach that emphasizes fresh ingredients and lighter cooking techniques, El Patio gives typical Mexican plates a whole new look. The Valentine Fish Fillet, for example, is encrusted with sesame seeds on a bed of country fried potatoes and served with a Chile and honey sauce.
Finding a good steak on the Baja Peninsula is a simple matter of reserving a table in La Terraza. Considered by many to be one of the best steakhouses in the area, it offers top-quality beef and seafood in relaxed surroundings. Fresh from the grill are temptations such as red snapper, marinated skirt steak and top sirloin. There’s also a comfortable bar featuring live music amid the exotic flora and lush gardens.
El Caribeño is a convenient, come-as-you-are choice when you’re between tennis matches, on your way to the golf course or spending a long, lazy day next to the pool or on the beach. Located ocean-side, the open-air snack bar turns out casual fare such as quesadillas, nachos and hamburgers, as well as fish, beef or chicken tacos served with fresh guacamole.
Your day will begin and end on a high note when you choose Frutas y Flores for breakfast and again for a casual dinner. Authentic Mexican breakfast dishes such as Sopes, Quesadillas, Ranchero Eggs and Burritos are popular in the morning, especially for those with hearty appetites. In the evenings, lavish themed buffets highlight the best produce and meats of the season.
