Cuisine

Inspired by our profound respect for nature, we have reimagined the property’s century-old agricultural terraces as an organic farm. Blessed by the Caribbean sun and rains, its cornucopia of tropical crops are transmuted into delicious, plant-based fare through our chef’s alchemy. From the day’s harvest, he might prepare a banana or papaya smoothie and an appetizer of home-made hummus or bruschetta, followed by traditional, Puerto Rican pasteles cooked in a banana leaf, a lentil burger with sweet plantain topping or rotini with sautéed portobellos, basil sauce, pine nuts and avocado slices. Side dishes might include turmeric rice with pigeon peas, breadfruit tostones or one of the chef’s special soups. In his kitchen, Huerto Escondido (Hidden Orchard), each night’s meal is unique. Make your dinner reservation when you reserve your treehouse or add a dinner at least two days in advance. Reservations are only available for guests of Yuquiyú.
