Do you know what a Michelin green star is? At the end of this article, you'll learn a little more about this award and discover a place in Mexico City where you can enjoy a menu based on this distinguished accolade.

What is the Michelin green star?

The Green Star is an annual distinction awarded by Michelin to highlight restaurants that have consistently employed sustainable practices in their workspace.

Sustainability, especially in the food industry, seeks to commit companies to modifying their practices to protect the environment in which they operate. It has had a significant impact on how chefs work, striving for balanced economic growth that goes hand in hand with social well-being.

Many great chefs have won this distinction, but the restaurants Barro (Ávila), Azurmendi (Vizcaya) and Cocina Hermanos Torres (Barcelona) are some of the most recognized.

Trivvu, a Michelin experience in Mexico City

One of the renowned chefs who has won this prestigious award is the Spanish chef, Miguel Ángel de la Cruz. The chef of “La Botica” has made a name for himself in the culinary world as an activist chef, especially for his research into the harvesting and use of wild fruits in cooking.

At “La Botica” in Matapozuelos, he has tested techniques, products, and flavors that emphasize sustainability and the utmost respect for nature. This appealed to the Trivvu team from the W Hotel in Mexico City, who appreciate its attractive rooftop terrace in Polanco.

Chefs De la Cruz and Matías Gallegillo, chef of Trivvu, designed a menu based on the principles of the Michelin green star. The pop-up is a unique experience, a menu designed by a Michelin-starred chef in Mexico.
