Hotel Matilda, a crown jewel of luxury nestled inside San Miguel de Allende, announces the debut of the Taittinger Table, a riveting six-course feast fusing haute cuisine with Taittinger Champagne. Delivered inside the intimate, hushed enclave of the hotel’s art-adorned dining room, the evening represents a serendipity for those with serious appetites for both visual and gustatory beauty. Carried on the whispering heat of this colonial city, the prospect laces the growing reputation of San Miguel as an international culinary benchmark. With this intimate, limited-access night, Matilda redefines polished, elevated dining and invites food lovers to discover the brand new summit of inventive gastronomy.
A Prestigious Partnership with Taittinger Champagne
At the heart of The Taittinger Table lies a remarkable partnership forged between the storied Hotel Matilda and Champagne Taittinger, one of the last grandes marques still guided by the founders’ descendants. Revered for its poise, artistry, and heritage, Taittinger now channels its nearly century-long mastery of Champagne-making into an intimate culinary affair. Patrons will be invited to savour three carefully curated labels from the house—each one seamlessly woven into a pairing that illuminates the Champagne’s signature finesse while celebrating the distinct terroir of the cuisine.
The entire soirée is hosted at the hotel’s secluded Owner’s Table within Moxi, the celebrated restaurant that has long commanded acclaim as one of central Mexico’s most inventive culinary theatres. Moxi, known for marrying audacious flavour with the rhythms of the market and avant-garde flair, now amplifies its inventive DNA to deliver an unprecedented evening of refined artistry and singular privacy.
An Exquisite Tasting Menu Curated by Michelin-Starred Chef Vicente Torres
This six-course dinner, conceived by Michelin-star chef Vicente Torres, distills both bold innovation and quiet tradition onto one menu. Every dish and every pour are dialogues between artistry and history, and the masterful choreography of Taittinger Champagne within the meal transforms dinner into an unfolding narrative. Torres and his brigade treat the Champagne itself as an invisible yet omnipotent ingredient, calibrating texture, temperature and flavor across the courses in perfect symbiosis.
The evening opens with crisp Taittinger Brut Réserve that winters the palate before lavishing it with a raw, wild oyster, bathed in silken double cream. Then a refreshing, chilled gasp of peach-and-tomato gazpacho cascades across a lion-claw scallop, the dish kissed ruby by Taittinger Prestige Rosé. Next, the plate presents finely hand-chopped beef tartare, a turquoise-hued crown of caviar beaks the dish atop a threaded Parmesan crisp. For the main triumph, milk-white suckling pig, lacquered walls rust-lit with citrus glaze, shares the plate with ebony-glazed, jewel-like miniature carrots, while a harmony of Taittinger mature cellar notes rustles in the glass. Dessert announces the grand farewell: the thin crescent of Basque cake, a compass of spiced, sweeted strawberry interiors, finished with a dusk glow of Taittinger Nocturne, binding the meal into a perfect, luminous coda.
This six-course tasting menu can be savored for a price of $4,900 MXN (close to $265 USD) per guest, exclusive of service, and must be arranged by prior booking. The evening is poised to elevate itself to the pinnacle of San Miguel de Allende’s must-do culinary happenings.
An Unmatched Experience in San Miguel de Allende
Hotel Matilda’s newest experience merits applause for blending San Miguel’s culinary heritage with sartorial elegance. The destination itself—famed for its serpentine cobblestones, bohemian palette, and terracotta-coloured colonials—now reels a fresh wave of visitors eager to drill down to its cultural heartbeat while raising champagne flutes to impeccable service. Enter The Taittinger Table: a gastronomic odyssey anchored in history, unfolding within the hotel and promising vista after vista people ooh and ahh at in between mouthfuls of Art Deco-era escapism.
Beyond the plate, Hotel Matilda is the very meaning of luxe repose waltzing in the company of contemporary art. The property’s thirty-two chamber canvases, accompanied by suites worthy of being curated, leverage minimalist lines, goose-down linens, and curated objects by local wizards. Fireplaces hover between orbs and canvases, narrating the artistic season in whispered hieroglyphs, while Spa Matilda chips in with treatments worthy of international awards. Holistic therapies, staged in space-station-bright elegance, lock local botanicals with progressive technique—aguas, clays, and rituals, all accelerated by gentle technology.
With soft lounge music wafting from the bar and the scent of fresh hibiscus wafting past the lounge chairs, the hotel’s energy ricochets off the polished marble of the pool terrace and spills through the curated revolving galleries that line the lobby. Guests of the ever-curious set—photographers, curators, and couples in search of the perfect minimalist backdrop—find that the magic glosses any reason for a stay, be it a bittersweet second honeymoon, a landmark birthday, or the age-old itch for a brush with the extraordinary that only a city as striking as San Miguel can scratch.
