Have you ever wondered how the best restaurants ensure that each and every plate that leaves their kitchen tastes as good as the last? Well, you can find out how Hotel Mousai is perfecting the art of dinner service every single day at its gourmet restaurants.
Hotel Mousai and its sister resort Garza Blanca Resort & Spa have recently introduced a Perfect Plate program in order to raise the standards within its onsite restaurants even higher! This program is a part of the resorts’ commitment to providing perfection and wow-experiences at every turn.
Perfect Plate for Perfect Dining
The Perfect Plate program is directed at ensuring that all dishes which leave the kitchens at Hotel Mousai’s restaurants are of the highest quality and best flavor. For example, the program dictates that only the best quality, freshest ingredients may be used, and that the chefs preparing them must be versed in the most up-to-date preparation and presentation methods.
Two safeguards have been put in place to ensure the Perfect Plate program is a success. The first is the constant checking of the freshness, cleanliness, and taste of the ingredients used, and secondly firm and tested preparation and presentation methods set out in a checklist at each workstation. Finally, each day the head chef will prepare a dish each day, presenting it to the staff as a reminder of how it should taste and look.
Flavor, art and design in one bite
Perhaps more important than all this, however, is the process by which a dish becomes a part of menu in the first place. The initiative starts with a whole series of tests which select the ingredients used in the dishes; only those ingredients from local sources which meet the high standards of Hotel Mousai’s team will be used. Our chefs will then begin to experiment with the ingredients, and design dishes around them before presenting the ideas to the certification committee, which is composed of members of management, the hotel owner and his family, and other chefs at the resort.
Each dish must pass through this process, which evaluates temperature, quality, taste, and presentation as well as the general experience of the dish. Only dishes that pass this process will be considered for the resort’s menus. Finally, even after a dish is on the menu it remains under review; each guest has the chance to leave input on an iPad at the end of their meal, and the suggestions and comments from this process go directly to the chef. This way you can contribute to the menus at Hotel Mousai.
The Perfect Restaurant, the Ideal Dining Experience
The Perfect Plate program goes hand in hand with a multitude of other programs, as well as the Perfect Restaurant program which is all about getting the environment and atmosphere right. This involves the input of different teams every day. Alongside the usual cleaning and maintenance checks, there are also check on things like temperature, lighting, and music. At Hotel Mousai, we believe that every experience you have onsite should come as close to perfection as possible, and every effort is made to ensure that this is, in fact, the case.
The next time you dine with us please do leave your comments so that we can continue to evolve the Perfect Plate program!
