From October 21 to 26, the Metropol Hotel in Belgrade will host a presentation of Mexico’s rich gastronomic offer under the patronage of the Embassy of Mexico in Serbia
To mark the occasion, a cocktail event titled “Flavors of Mexico in Serbia” was organized.
The host of the Festival of Authentic Mexican Cuisine is Restaurant 22, located at the top of the Metropol Hotel.
Renowned guest chef Diana Beltrán, head chef of the Mexican restaurant La Cucaracha in Rome, will add a special touch to the entire event.
“The strong ties between Serbia and Mexico have been further strengthened and confirmed by tonight’s gathering. Serbia already offers excellent and high-quality food, and it’s not easy to compete with Serbian cuisine — all respect to Serbian culinary traditions. I must also point out that what is often presented in Serbia as Mexican cuisine is, in many cases, not truly authentic. What you will experience tonight and in the coming days is genuine and authentic Mexican gastronomy,” said H.E. Carlos Felix Corona, Ambassador of Mexico to Serbia, adding that Mexican cuisine is, in essence, of an international character — a fusion of various cultural influences and heritages.
In 2010, Mexican cuisine was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
