Slow-food is a world wide eco-gastronomic movement where people, organizations and members from the restaurant and food processing industries join together with food producers, as co-producers. There is also an international organization that backs this movement. Find out more about Slow-Food International here.

 

This movement strives to educate itself and others on the multiple dimensions of food production and preparation, and of its impact on other facets of life, such as: environmental, agricultural and farm labor policies, biodiversity protection, as well as the preservation of ethnic and national traditions.

 

Food -basically what and how we eat- is a cultural factor that is strongly linked to the way people live, communicate with each other, socialize and express a part of their identity. The modern day world, as we all know, is full of fast and standardized food. The slow-food movement believes that day by day, these fast food options contribute to losing rich traditions of taste, of enjoyment and of being healthy.

 

That is why the slow-food movement calls itself “co-producers”. It encourages all of us to become educated on food, appreciate its’ diversity of flavors and textures, as well as raising our awareness on environmental and social realities. When we make decisions based on that information, we become an actual part of the production process.

 

How long has it been since you had a good dinner, prepared from scratch and knowing that what you’re eating is actually helping farmers and preserving coral reefs in Mexico? Just sitting for a while and enjoying the tranquility of the present moment while your meal is being prepared is something that many forget to do and then wonder why their life is so full of stress. And as we all know, when you’re on the road traveling, wholesome warm food is sometimes hard to come by.

 

A considerable part of our menu is prepared with organic, environmentally responsible and Fair Trade ingredients. And more than that, it’s served with love and friendliness!!! So come and eat at the Cenote Azul’s Restaurant and enjoy the tastes of a better world!
