The two Grand Velas Riviera Maya restaurants, Cocina de Autor in 8^th place and Frida in 42^nd place, are the only two dining establishments on the prestigious list found at an All-Inclusive resort.

After conducting much in-depth research and deploying a considerable amount of effort and recourses, Bancomer financial institution published their list of the 50 Best Restaurants in Mexico for 2011, which features two Velas Resorts restaurants: Cocina de Autor in 8^th place and Frida in 42^nd place, both located at Grand Velas Riviera Maya.

This list reflects the consensus of an expert team of gourmands, who visited each restaurant a minimum of six times over the course of a year, conducting their research outside of commercial or individual interests.

The organizers declared that it was necessary “to complete this duty so that people have the opportunity to consult a reliable document produced in Mexico.”

Among the list of restaurants, Cocina de Autor and Frida are the only ones found at an All-Inclusive resort, making the recognition of the gastronomic quality they offer all the more admirable.
