"Long recognized as a fine dining institution in Monterrey, Pangea has been in business for more than 20 years. The restaurant is the flagship of Grupo Pangea, a collection of 10 concepts across the city, all under the leadership of Guillermo González Beristáin, one of Mexico’s most respected chefs and undoubtedly the pioneer responsible for elevating the Northeastern gastronomic scene. At Pangea, head chef Eduardo Morali combines Mexican produce with French flair and impeccable execution. Choose from a la carte options or the tasting menu, which may feature a glorious duck breast with orange mole, kumquat, and cauliflower puree, or jurel fish from Baja California with spicy soy sauce, avocado, crispy rice, and miso emulsion. The restaurant has received many national awards and is a regular on the Latin America 50 Best Restaurants list. [$$$$]" - Liliana López Sorzano
