Diacá

A regular in Latin America’s 50 Best and a genuine game-changer of the Guatemalan gastronomic landscape, Debora Fadul pays homage to the earth through her esoteric cuisine. At Diacá (‘from here’), she connects her diners with deeper values and meanings — nostalgia, ancestral knowledge, the culture of the land and its farmers. Like her talent, Debora’s passion for her country and its produce knows no bounds.

Guatemala, the land of eternal spring, is blessed with mineral-rich volcanic soils that yield produce of an entirely different order. Debora explores the untapped potential of each unexpectedly sweet pepper or salt-kissed fruit, shaping ever-evolving menus of dishes like ‘Lobster stuffed shishito peppers, hazelnuts’, ‘Sea bass ceviche, cascara leche de tigre, peach, cacao mayo’, and ‘BBQ achiote pulled chicken, sardines, green labne, tortillas’.

Join us as Debora returns with another week of her trademarked cocina explorativa de raíz philosophy, applied to British produce and naturally infused with the best of her homeland.
