Guests at Zadún will be able to take part in cooking classes, interactive demonstrations, and curated tastings that showcase Mandapa’s approach to destination-driven gastronomy.
Zadún’s general manager, Wadim Alvarez, said the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to travel that encourages deeper cultural understanding and expands the resort’s evolving culinary program, which includes fire-forward Latin dining and workshops such as wine-making and cacao tastings.
Executive Sous Chef Eka Sunarya of Mandapa will lead the residency, presenting a curated menu that draws on community-based sourcing and inventive zero-waste techniques. Known for his work at Kubu, Mandapa’s bamboo restaurant, Chef Sunarya develops dishes with ingredients sourced within roughly 100 kilometers, using methods such as sous-vide and other modern techniques.
