A NEW FINE DINING

Mexico, ingredients and culture

A more relaxed perspective on fine dining. At the heart of Roma Norte, Lorea creates experiences through the exploration of Mexico: its flavors, ingredients and culture, interpreted through the personal perspective of chef Oswaldo Oliva.

At Lorea, we hold one very simple conviction:

ingredients and culture are inseparable.

Without culture, an ingredient is disconnected from the traditions, celebrations and rituals that link it to Mexico.

This idea translates into a little-intervention cuisine of simple aesthetic. Dinning at our table is like looking through a lens: what you see is both a reflection of what you already know of this land and a glimpse of the most adventurous side of Mexico.

At Lorea, wonder comes from discovering an everyday ingredient seen from a new perspective. That is the most unforgettable way to be surprised.

OPEN KITCHEN

An experience that begins before you take your seat

Our open kitchen allows for an ongoing dialogue with the chefs. Our goal is to turn your dinner into a celebration full of long lasting memories.

We can accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions, but our hospitality goes further. Through our concierge service, we can help our guests organize special occasions or find options for their next visit to Mexico City.

Let us transform your experience into unforgettable moments.

Oswaldo Oliva

A scientific approach applied to cooking

Lorea is chef Oswaldo Oliva’s life project. Trained for a decade in Spain at El Celler de Can Roca and Mugaritz, he applies creative and analytical thinking to a question that fascinates him:

How can we tell the story of Mexico from the table?

To Oswaldo, cooking means transforming—not only ingredients and flavors, but also stories that have the potential to change diners’ perspective on Mexico and its culture.

Oswaldo Oliva is also a speaker and content creator. His reflections and experiences seek to inspire others in gastronomy and hospitality, helping drive the transformation and improvement of the industry.

EL QUINTO CUARTO

Lorea Menu

El Quinto Cuarto
Value = Distance. Scarcity. Time. Culture.

From time to time, Lorea changes the question it asks in order to explore a new season.
In gastronomy, El Quinto Cuarto is everything that does not fit within the conventional quadrants of value. It explores why some ingredients take center stage while others remain hidden.

While cuisines around the world have built their language of luxury around ingredients, Mexico had to build its own through techniques: burn, charr, nixtamalize, pit-roast.

El Quinto Cuarto is not about offal.
It is not a vindication of waste.
It is neither a celebration nor a criticism of luxury.
It does not propose a new hierarchy among ingredients.

It is simply a question:

Where does the value we place on what we eat come from?

SORPRESAS DE LA TEMPORADA

No todo sucede como esperabas.

En Lorea, no todo se anuncia y no todo sucede de la manera esperada. A lo largo de la experiencia, algunos momentos transforman la percepción de lo que estás comiendo y la forma en la que recordarás la cena.

01

Bienvenida

La experiencia no comienza en la mesa. Empieza en la cocina, con un gin tonic servido caliente directamente en tu mano: la primera señal de que esta noche nada va a ser como esperabas.

02

Máscara

En algún momento de la cena, una máscara veneciana cambia la manera en la que percibes y recuerdas lo que estás probando.

En colaboración con la casa de perfumería [NOMBRE DE LA CASA DE PERFUMERÍA], este momento utiliza el aroma para intervenir en la percepción del sabor y crear un recuerdo difícil de separar de la experiencia.
