It is a large hotel, and the Operations team at the destination raised their hand. But what kind of restaurant should we add? We already had everything: Mexican, Italian, Asian, steakhouse\u2026 I was returning from a trip, and at the Cancun airport, I saw customers eating burgers and giant nachos. I thought that was what they had been missing at their hotel. And I saw clearly that this was exactly what we would give them in Los Cabos. That is how we took the first step of what ended up being a major <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/es\/riu-experience\/hoteles-todo-incluido\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>gastronomy renovation project for RIU&#8217;s all-inclusive concept.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/restaurante-american-country-hotel-riu-santa-fe-1.jpg\" alt=\"Mesas altas, cartel con texto Burger y placas de la Ruta 66 en el restaurante del hotel Riu Santa Fe\" class=\"wp-image-44836\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">American Country restaurant at the Riu Santa Fe hotel, in Mexico.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The corporate Food and Beverage team is responsible for RIU&#8217;s entire culinary offering. Their experience is enriched through travel and the onboarding of chefs in different destinations, but this time I asked our board member responsible for the area, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hosteltur.com\/riu-responde\/consejo-administracion-riu-hotels-resorts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carles Madrenas<\/a><\/strong>, to seek external advice for this project. I wanted a menu crafted directly by a specialist in this type of food, in the style of &#8220;Friday&#8217;s,&#8221; &#8220;Hard Rock,&#8221; or &#8220;Foster&#8217;s Hollywood,&#8221; with the most authentic burgers and barbecue ribs we could offer. And I wanted the thematic design to be intense\u2014not just on the menu, but in the decor, service, lighting, and atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/restaurante-mexicano-riu-palace-peninsula.jpg\" alt=\"Comedor con murales de palmeras, vajilla montada y vasijas de barro colgantes en el hotel Riu Palace Peninsula\" class=\"wp-image-44841\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mexican restaurant at the Riu Palace Peninsula hotel, in Mexico.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is how we met the consultant who not only developed, together with our team, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/en\/new-riu-themed-restaurant-american-country\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Country restaurant menu<\/a>, but also inspired a deep evaluation of our gastronomic offering. A project born in the Americas, specifically in <strong>Mexico<\/strong>, which served as the spark that triggered a revision elevating the all-inclusive experience of our guests across four continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adapting the Buffet at RIU: Differences Between European, American, and Caribbean Guests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/restaurante-principal-hotel-riu-turquoise.jpg\" alt=\"Barra de buffet con ensaladas de garbanzos y lombarda, s\u00e1ndwiches y aperitivos en el hotel Riu Turquoise\" class=\"wp-image-44844\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Main restaurant at the Riu Turquoise hotel, in Mauritius.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are a Spanish company, and we grew up serving European guests, who have very different tastes and expectations compared to Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, or Argentinians. For years, our offering in different areas of <strong>Europe, Asia, Mexico, or the Caribbean<\/strong> has been adapted to the profile of the guests we welcome; however, we had not abandoned our European DNA. That is why I wanted to bring in an outsider with a different sensibility from ours to help us look at things with fresh eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/restaurante-indio-hotel-riu-turquoise.jpg\" alt=\"Platos de cocina india en cuencos de cobre con velas, arroz basmati y copas de vino en el hotel Riu Turquoise\" class=\"wp-image-44847\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Indian restaurant food dishes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I focus on the main buffet, I can give a few examples of things we detected in the <strong>Americas<\/strong>. Europeans greatly appreciate a highly varied bread selection featuring whole wheat, seeded, crusty, soft, rolls, baguettes, and loaves. They also enjoy sampling small portions of many different desserts; they love the variety and color of a sweets buffet. The same goes for salads, where they also expect to find pickles and canned fish. All of this is a central part of our main buffet offering and continues to be in our hotels in Spain, for example. However, we realized that the typical guest in our <strong>Caribbean and Mexican<\/strong> hotels prefers fewer options as long as they include their absolute favorites\u2014for instance, ensuring there is always a bagel, a cheesecake, and a Caesar salad. There, we streamlined the selection and focused on<strong> higher quality<\/strong> in the preparations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialty Restaurants at RIU: The Evolution of Krystal and the RIU Palace Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/restaurantel-krystal-riu-palace-la-mola.jpg\" alt=\"Camarera colocando vino en una mesa de comedor beige con suelo de parquet en el restaurante Krystal del hotel Riu Palace La Mola\" class=\"wp-image-44850\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Krystal restaurant at the Riu Palace La Mola hotel, in Formentera.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specialty restaurants are a different story. We were already working on restaurant themes featuring interior design based on subtle references to the culture of each specialty. We were also creating <strong>distinct atmospheres<\/strong> through <strong>lighting projects<\/strong> specific to each space. The revision we have implemented now has introduced enhancements to the gastronomic experience, such as a <strong>welcome cocktail<\/strong> tailored to each restaurant, alongside a combination of shared appetizers, buffets, and \u00e0 la carte options for each specialty. Timing, tableware, glassware, and cutlery were details that used to be standardized, but are now fully themed as well. We have placed a strong bet on gastronomy and elevated the experience across our finest all-inclusive hotels, allowing the Food &amp; Beverage team to make the most of their talent and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/restaurante-elite-club-hotel-riu-palace-aruba.jpg\" alt=\"Camarero preparando mesa junto a vinoteca de cristal e iluminaci\u00f3n c\u00e1lida en el restaurante Elite Club del hotel Riu Palace Aruba\" class=\"wp-image-44853\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Elite Club restaurant at the Riu Palace Aruba hotel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, this process led us to incorporate new trends into our offering. We started in the <strong>Americas<\/strong>, but step by step, the initiative was integrated into every new opening across the entire RIU world. Today, we no longer offer a standard Japanese restaurant in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/en\/brands\/riu-palace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>RIU Palace<\/strong> <\/a>hotels; instead, we <strong>open high-quality<\/strong> Asian venues featuring tapas and street food from various regional cuisines, providing an experience that easily rivals a great restaurant in any major world capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1101\" height=\"1651\" data-id=\"44859\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/cliente-comida-restaurante-asiatico-riu.jpg\" alt=\"Una clienta de RIU disfruta de un plato de tallarines en el restaurante asi\u00e1tico\" class=\"wp-image-44859\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Noodle dish from the Asian restaurants at RIU hotels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1093\" height=\"1638\" data-id=\"44856\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/comida-restaurante-asiatico-riu.jpg\" alt=\"Mesa con platos asi\u00e1ticos, dim sum en vaporera de bamb\u00fa y brochetas de langostinos en restaurante de RIU\" class=\"wp-image-44856\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Variety of cuisine offered in the Asian restaurants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/en\/riu-gastronomy-themed-restaurants\/\"><strong>Krystal <\/strong><\/a>restaurant, created nearly 20 years ago to elevate our house gastronomy, has also evolved from a fusion cuisine menu\u2014a major trend at the time\u2014to a much more contemporary &#8220;traveler&#8217;s cuisine&#8221; concept. All delivered with the same care and high quality as always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">30 years of innovation in RIU&#8217;s All-Inclusive culinary offering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/restaurante-steakhouse-hotel-riu-turquoise.jpg\" alt=\"Comedor de estilo oscuro con mesas de madera, l\u00e1mparas de mesa y plantas en el techo en el Steak House de Riu Turquoise\" class=\"wp-image-44862\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Steak House restaurant at the Riu Turquoise hotel, in Mauritius.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gastronomy is the central pillar of the all-inclusive experience. It is absolutely vital for guest satisfaction. Looking back today, I see the massive distance we have covered over these <strong>30 years<\/strong>. It was back in 1996 when we opened our first all-inclusive hotel. It was in the <strong>Dominican Republic<\/strong>, and our teams worked true magic with those &#8220;miracle restaurants&#8221; we set up every night at the beach shack. Today, we design our hotels to house six, seven, and even up to eight restaurants. Each one is a project crafted down to the finest detail to add quality and memorable experiences to our guests&#8217; stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/restaurante-italiano-riu-ventura-1.jpg\" alt=\"Comedor de restaurante con sillas amarillas, l\u00e1mparas con plantas colgantes y suelos de madera en el hotel Riu Ventura\" class=\"wp-image-44874\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Italian restaurant at the Riu Ventura hotel, in Mexico.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our guests&#8217; top favorites are always present\u2014which, in this order and regardless of the country, are consistently the <strong>steakhouse and the Italian restaurant.<\/strong> The former used to operate somewhat as a &#8220;miracle&#8221; venue, being set up at the beach shack or within a section of the main restaurant. But in this latest review of our offering, we gave it the standing it deserves, and it now features its own fully themed space rather than just a specialized menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Italian restaurant<\/strong> is next in line to undergo its transformation. As our second most popular option, I felt we needed to give its offering another twist to make it even more authentically Italian, which guests will soon be able to experience at our hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1101\" height=\"1651\" data-id=\"44865\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/plato-pasta-restaurante-italiano-riu.jpg\" alt=\"Palto de pasta a la carbonara en un ambiente de luz c\u00e1lida dentro de un restaurante italiano de RIU\" class=\"wp-image-44865\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fresh pasta dish at the Italian restaurant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1101\" height=\"1651\" data-id=\"44868\" src=\"https:\/\/www.riu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/plato-pizza-restaurante-italiano-riu.jpg\" alt=\"Una mano coge un trozo de pizza con pepperoni del restaurante italiano de RIU\" class=\"wp-image-44868\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A taste of Italy in every bite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is yet another example of how we are <strong>constantly refining our product<\/strong>.
