The Perfect Fusion between Mexico and Mallorca
DAVID MORENO
“Creativity and experience are the soul of cooking.” With this philosophy, David Moreno (Mexico City, 1988) has conquered the culinary scene in Mallorca, becoming a benchmark for the fusion of Mexican and Mediterranean cuisine.
His story on the island began unexpectedly. While working at Dos Palillos in Barcelona and studying at Espai Sucre , he was given the opportunity to move to Mallorca. Without thinking twice, he took a flight and in just three days he was already settled in Capdepera, a place he didn't know and which, according to him, he didn't even know was an island . His first impression was peculiar: empty streets in winter and a chef, Andreu Genestra , cleaning windows in the restaurant where he would begin a new professional stage.
What seemed like a long shot turned out to be the start of a promising career in Mallorca. For four years he worked side by side with Andreu Genestra , moving from head pastry chef to head chef in just three months. In that time, he saw the kitchen team grow from three people to a team of 22 , consolidating himself as a fundamental pillar in the evolution of the restaurant.
His connection with Mallorca has been so deep that he is already recognized as “a very Mallorcan Mexican” . So much so that he has decided to stay on the island permanently, finding it his second home.
David Moreno currently heads the kitchen at the prestigious Hotel Can Simoneta , after having left his mark at the Melassa restaurant at the Hotel Mealbeach . At Can Simoneta, his culinary proposal continues to explore the richness of the Mexican-Mediterranean fusion, creating a surprising menu that invites diners to discover vibrant flavours and unique gastronomic experiences. His cuisine is a round trip between Mallorca and Mexico , where local ingredients and innovative techniques come together to offer an unparalleled gastronomic proposal.
If you are a lover of gastronomy and signature cuisine, David Moreno invites you to open your mind, try the unexpected and discover the true flavor of Mexico with a Mallorcan touch .
