Palace Resorts is partnering with three-Michelin-star chef Massimo Bottura to bring the Osteria Francescana Experience to the Mexican Caribbean.

Bottura will bring his culinary talents to Moon Palace Cancun for two exclusive nights, on August 18 and 19, 2018.

Proceeds from this upscale dining experience, in partnership with the Palace Foundation, will go to Food for Soul, Massimo Bottura’s non-profit organization that creates and sustains community kitchens around the world to raise awareness on the issues of food waste and social isolation, according to the company.

With this new partnership with Chef Bottura, the company said it was “aiming to demonstrate how it sets itself apart from the competition by bringing elite culinary experiences from around the world, right to its guests.”

“As we continue to position ourselves as the leader in the luxury all-inclusive space, Palace Resorts continues to form strategic alliances with brands that take us to the next level,” said Jabib Chapur, Vice President of Food & Beverage for Palace Resorts. “In this case, partnering with Massimo Bottura was a natural fit given that both brands share a love for top-tier culinary experiences, along with a passion for giving back, to communities.”

“Bringing these events to Moon Palace Cancun is a testament to our commitment to bring guests unique culinary experiences from all over the world, right to their vacations, while at the same time, raising awareness within communities that need a voice,” he said.
