Celebrating Executive Chef Sylvain Desbois’ arrival, the St. Regis Mexico City unveiled a new contemporary Mexican menu and concept at Diana, their trademark restaurant. The updated menu reflects Chef Desbois’ background in French cuisine, combining it with fresh ingredients native to Mexico. “I am thrilled to go back to my roots by utilizing classic French techniques while showcasing the distinct flavor profiles of Mexico, thus paying homage to both world-renowned cuisines,” says Chef Desbois. “Our enduring goal is to provide our treasured guests with unparalleled culinary experiences from the heart, and the refreshed menu will further elevate the exquisite dining offerings and flawless service that have come to define Diana.”
