        Meal Options

        • Your personal concierge will provide the dinner menu each day in the restaurant of choice and can make any changes needed at no extra charge.
        • Alternatively, or in addition, you can place an order and pay Chabad of Playa directly. Grand Velas Riviera Maya will receive the food (cooked, supervised and signed by Rabbi Goldberg). You can have it served in the restaurant of your choice. In addition, the food can be reheated in the same plates: sealed, or placed in disposables if wanted.
        • Lastly, Grand Velas Riviera Maya offers our KOSHER STYLE at all of our restaurants. With 7 days advance notice, we can order any of the raw protein. Chefs will keep it and they can cook it to your preference or in the style of our restaurants: Lucca (Italian), Frida (Mexican), and Piaf (French). We can use kitchenware that has only been used with kosher protein and we can serve in disposables if needed. This option has an extra charge which, depending on how much food you would like to pre order, will be charged to your suite, upon arrival.
