This week I had the opportunity to once again taste the delicious cuisine of Guatemalan Chef Debora Fadul at her restaurant Diaca, located on the terrace of the OEG building in the heart of zone 4.

At Diaca, Deborah and a team of 8 cooks, mixologists, and crazy scientists prepare a tasting menu of 7 or 8 dishes to showcase Guatemalan ingredients and flavors and delight any palate.

My excelent experience was is surprise, as Debora is internationally recognized for her innovation and was recently named among the top 100 chefs in the world by 'The Best Chef Awards'.

The dishes in my tasting menu played with the palate by mixing flavors, textures, and temperatures. They were all good, but in my opinion, the Papaya Ragout knocked it out of the park.

Thursday was the last day of the winter menu, so the dishes have changed today, but what I am sure of is that a dining experience at Diaca will always be a great combination of Guatemalan flavors, top-quality ingredients, and artistic presentations.

I've been lucky enough to dine at signature cuisine restaurants in many parts of the world. For those who haven't had the chance to do so, I recommend trying (paying in Quetzales and without having to buy plane tickets) this style of cuisine in our Capital City, Zone 4.
