“Ellas se Juntan”: Female Chefs Offer a Dinner with a Cause

Next Saturday, July 16th, 2022 at 7:30pm, Los Toneles restaurant (Basilio Badillo 180, Emiliano Zapata) will host an extraordinary event that brings together seven of the best female chefs in Puerto Vallarta, who will be offering a dinner with the aim of raising funds for CANICA Puerto Vallarta.

“Ellas se Juntan” is an initiative led by Mexican chef Fabiola Meraz, co-owner and executive chef of Los Toneles, who had the idea of bringing together these outstanding women of our local gastronomy to give them greater visibility and present an exquisite seven-course menu.

The cost of the dinner is 1,900 MXN per person and the total of the profits will be donated to CANICA Puerto Vallarta, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people and children with cancer.

“With these actions we want to demonstrate our talent as professional women making visible the impact that female chefs, sommeliers, mixologists and other experts have within the gastronomic industry”, shared Meraz.
