Speakeasy pop-up debuts at St. Regis Mexico City hotel

The St. Regis Mexico City debuted its inaugural speakeasy pop-up, #HiddenBubbles, to celebrate Maison Krug’s specialty ingredient of the year: mushrooms.

The St. Regis Mexico City and Maison Krug, two brands of distinguished legacies within the culinary and hospitality world, reunite again now through December, to present #HiddenBubbles speakeasy, which seeks to surprise diners and champagne lovers with a new gastronomic experience and authentic mixology offerings.

"We are thrilled to celebrate #HiddenBubbles, La Table Krug's speakeasy, a captivating experience for our sophisticated gourmet guests to enjoy a secret champagne bar," said Bernard de Villèle, general director of The St. Regis Mexico City. "Although no one can forget their first experience at La Table Krug, this time, our passion for innovation allowed for creativity to bloom in a unique concept never seen before at our city resort or when delighting patrons with a glass of Krug. We aim to seduce gourmands from every part of the world and to attract the millennials with live Jazz, DJ and a lineup of prestigious mixologist.”

La Table Krug has maintained its mission to constantly innovate. The #HiddenBubbles after-party menu features the specialty ingredient, mushrooms, in dishes made by Chef Oscar Portal and Chef Olivier Deboise Méndez. The chefs combined their talents to delight clients with a quintessential culinary experience between friends, featuring dishes such as mini burgers of foie gras and wild mushrooms; creamy lobster risotto; morchela stuffed with duck; sautéed wild Provencal mushrooms; and desserts such as apple tatin tart with caramel cream and vanilla ice cream.
