Guests experience the quality service characteristic of the Guaycura, coupled with the freshest ingredients available. Most produce—organic whenever possible—is grown locally, and the chefs proudly adapt traditional recipes using seasonal fruits and vegetables grown in the Guaycura’s own garden.

“El Jardin” restaurant, set in the beautiful garden courtyard, is both intimate and elegant. In the morning, breakfast is served at the eight patio tables and in the evening, the courtyard is transformed to hold four chef’s tables, each with fine linens and candlelight. Clientele and guests can feast on top-quality meat dishes and fresh seafood chosen from the nightly “author’s cuisine” menu, featuring dishes that incorporate textures, aromas, and flavor combinations to stimulate the senses and please the palate.

Breakfast, served 7 to 11 am: Continental, American, and a la carte with a variety of choices.
