OUR CHEFS
JORGE VALLEJO
THE CHEF
All of Chablé Hotels’ restaurants are led by one of Mexico’s top chefs, Jorge Vallejo, the mastermind behind México City’s award-winning Quintonil, which has been included on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants lists since 2015.
Jorge’s passion for cooking began long before he and his wife, Alejandra Flores, opened Quintonil; after graduating from Centro Culinario Ambrosia in México City, Jorge gained hands-on experience. He worked with Princess Cruises, as executive chef at The St. Regis Mexico City’s Diana Restaurant, spent a month in the kitchen at Noma in Copenhagen, and then worked at Pujol in México City. Jorge’s deep experience and his artistry converged when Quintonil opened in 2012, and his leadership of Chablé Hotels’ restaurants is a deepening of his ability to use the best organic, local and seasonal ingredients to elicit flavors and textures that offer a personal and deeply sensorial experience.
LUIS QUIROZ
THE RESIDENT EXECUTIVE CHEF
Luis’s love for food grew from a childhood filled with family cooking in a warm, lively kitchen. Pursuing his dream of becoming a chef, Luis earned a scholarship before going on to gain hands-on experience. His first restaurant experiences were the spark that ignited Luis’s sense of creativity and possibility in culinary creation. Luis earned a coveted intern spot at Pujol in México City, and there, he caught Chef Jorge Vallejo’s attention and was offered a position at the buzzworthy Hotel Habita.
In addition to renowned kitchens in Mexico, Luis has worked in the United States, too – and in Spain, as an apprentice to Chef Quique Dacosta, who holds three Michelin Stars.

Gardening is practiced with reverence and gratitude.
