Celebrity Chef to open restaurant at Melia Resort in Punta Cana
The famous Spanish chef Martin Berasategui is scheduled to open a restaurant this month at the Spanish hotel chain Meliá, which operates three hotels in this tourist area. The chain also operates a hotel in Santo Domingo, the Dominican capital.
Just three months ago Berasategui opened a similar restaurant at the Meliá hotel in Playa del Carmen, in Quintana Roo, Mexico. The Meliá chain of hotels operates three all-inclusive hotels in Pun- ta Cana. For the past 35 years Berasategui has dedicated his life to the culinary arts. His world renowned restaurant is in La- sarte, located in northern Spain. The Berasategui restaurants currently receive seven Michelin starts, in the Michelin Guide.
In 2007 the restaurant came in as number 27 spot on the list of “The World’s 50 Best Restaurants”, put together by the famous “Restaurant Magazine” of London. In addition to Punta Cana, Berasategui plans to open restaurants in China and Azerbaijan. Definitely a good reason for foodies to visit Melia!
