Rosas & Xocolate Boutique Hotel + SPA: Menu & Drinks

Rosas & Xocolate Restaurant menu lets Chef David Segovia flex his culinary muscles.

A must-try is the Duck in Xocolatl Sauce, which combines traditional Mexican flavors with contemporary flair. The duck is tender and succulent and served in a slightly bitter chocolate sauce that gives the dish its distinctive taste.

Another standout is the Shrimp Aguachile, a refreshing and zesty option that combines local shrimp with lime, cucumber, and chiles.

For dessert, the Rosas & Xocolate Lava Cake is a must-have. With its molten chocolate center and rose essence, the flavors blend to create a decadent dessert you won't soon forget!

The drinks at Rosas & Xocolate are equally impressive, like The Xoco Martini. This popular libation includes a unique mix of premium tequila, crème de cacao, and a hint of chili. The result is a sophisticated and spicy cocktail, perfect after a day walking along the Paseo Montejo and visit to Quinta Montes Molina.

A non-alcoholic option is the Hibiscus Agua Fresca, made from local hibiscus flowers that offer a naturally sweet and tart flavor. For a truly local experience, try the Mayan Hot Chocolate made with rich cacao and hints of cinnamon and vanilla.
