François Cavalier
Liquid Journey Curator
Mixologist

In Honour of Terroir
O a x a c a
Peridot’s Oaxaca Terroir Programme is a respectful exploration of this profound complexity.
Each cocktail is a creative dialogue with the spirit’s spectrum, from intense smoke and deep minerality to vibrant tropical fruit and herbal sweetness.
We honour the land that gives the agave its strength, the fire that unlocks its soul, and the masterful hands that guide it, drop by precious drop into the glass.
Lisandro Illa
Culinary Artist
Edible Storyteller
A visionary plant-based journey, conjured by Culinary Artist Lisandro Illa, whose hands translate nature’s quiet wisdom into edible poetry. Trained in the hallowed kitchens of Noma and Popl, Lisandro channels his Argentinian roots and Nordic precision into a cuisine that is both ancient and avant-garde.
Verdant Culinary Alchemy
The verdant delights created by Chef Lisandro Illa are alchemical works from an artist of flavour. Ancient cultures, both civilisational and microbiotic, are transformed into taste sensations both familiar and brand new. In his hands, cashew and pine nuts become cheese. Watermelon becomes cold cuts. Internationally inspired, locally sourced. Verdant alchemy that rewrites our perceptions and conceptions of how food flavours are created. Good for body and mind and mother earth. And free from preservatives and all artificial chemicals so that only the memory lasts. A daring concept that’s turning heads in the circles of Asia’s 50 Best Bars
