He is known for his avant-garde, experimental, and groundbreaking cuisine. He creates dishes that deceive the eye but surprise the palate. He has taken cooking to new limits by fusing gastronomy with art, philosophy, theater, and neuroscience. That’s Andoni Luis Aduriz.
As part of the Sabores del Alma campaign and with the support of Bancamiga and Mastercard, this renowned chef’s dishes will delight 240 guests for two days at the Mola restaurant in Las Mercedes (Caracas). His techniques, wisdom, and essence will unite with those of a team of Venezuelan chefs to present a fusion of flavors.
With products brought from Spain, Margarita Island, and other regions of the country such as La Guaira and the Chacao Market, diners will enjoy unforgettable personal experiences led by Andoni Luis Aduriz, whose creativity has led the Mugaritz restaurant to be considered one of the best in the world, according to Restaurant magazine.
The founder of Mugaritz, in Rentería (Errenteria in Basque), Basque Country, studied at the San Sebastián Hospitality School, where he began to develop his passion for cooking. He has worked with renowned chefs such as Juan Mari Arzak and Martín Berasategui. Between 1993 and 1994, he was part of the El Bulli team, under the direction of Ferran Adrià. Today, he is an international benchmark in culinary research and development.
Sensory freedom on a plate: a pleasant and memorable sensorial experience in gastronomy, brought to you by Bancamiga and Mastercard
On his first visit to Venezuela, the winner of The Best Chef Science Award 2022 and a mentor at institutions such as Harvard and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) hopes to bring to the table creations that take diners beyond conventional parameters and generate unforgettable experiences, one of the goals that Bancamiga and Mastercard pursue with Sabores del Alma.
In addition to being a place to eat, Mugaritz serves as an experiment to explore flavors, textures, and narratives that challenge culinary customs. The same will happen with Mola this June 18 and 19. Customers will have the opportunity to appreciate how Andoni Luis Aduriz’s cuisine combines such diverse products and ingredients, abandoning traditional dishes in favor of pieces from prominent Venezuelan artists and artisans.
The founder of the Basque Culinary Center will show special Bancamiga and Mastercard clients dishes that break with the traditional, offering sensorial freedom and reaffirming why Mugaritz has two Michelin stars and three Repsol suns.
The tropicalized menu, featuring creations such as Entropía (cacao, seeds, and a return to the Chacao market), Oximoron (a Margarita Island ladle and summer truffle), Bestiario (onion and squid), Textura (fish with fish), and Sobremesear (7 capital virtues, and all the “kakao” of Venezuela), will allow guests to explore an explosive combination of flavors and sensations. Andoni Luis Aduriz confirms the reasons why Forbes magazine included him among the 100 most creative people in the world.
“We are very pleased that 240 of our customers are connecting with the cuisine of such a prestigious chef as Andoni Luis Aduriz, with an intimate and unforgettable gastronomic experience,” said José Simón Elarba, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bancamiga, adding that “it is an honor for us to reward the loyalty of a group of customers with this tasting, where innovation, creativity, and good taste are the mainstays.”
Through the Sabores del Alma campaign, Bancamiga and Mastercard hope to bring their customers closer to culinary experiences that reach the depths of their soul, led by the world’s best chefs.
