Jonatán Gómez Luna of Le Chique is the MICHELIN Guide Mexico 2025 Mentor Chef Award Winner

"At One MICHELIN Star Le Chique in Mexico’s Riviera Maya, I encountered a pioneering fine-dining restaurant led by executive chef Jonatán Gómez Luna, recipient of this year’s MICHELIN Guide Mexico Mentor Chef Award, who drills into every chef that “cooking is dreaming” and insists that “discipline, flavor, silence, technique, reflection, respect, product” be part of their vocabulary and practice. Since opening in 2008, Le Chique has playfully crossed Mexico’s regions with whimsy, and its alumni have spread that dogma across the world — from a canalside boutique in Amsterdam to the gastronomic Mount Olympus of the Basque Country — and in a full Q&A Gómez Luna shares more on his kitchen philosophies and the mentors that helped him reach the height of Mexican cuisine." - The MICHELIN Guide
