Gaytán also offers the possibility to dine a la carte.
Each dish on the tasting menu is prepared in front of the diners. The Gaytán experience is developed through the sense of sight, seeing the fresh ingredients chopped, how they are cooked over a low heat …, and smell, appreciating the different nuances of the ingredients and the spices, transporting diners to other places nearby, where they can relax and enjoy. Finally, the presentation of the dishes, in which great care is taken over every single detail.
