Culture Seekers |  | | Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection | | Riviera Maya, Mexico | | At this Riviera Maya retreat, relaxation isn't the only thing on the menu. Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection, is a serene 75-key resort set steps from the shore and framed by lush mangrove forests. While the destination may dazzle, dining proves just as enticing. Inspired by local flavors, the cuisine here presents modern, elevated takes on Mexican dishes informed by Mayan influences and seasonal, sustainable ingredients. The flagship restaurant, Itzam, is housed in an airy indoor-outdoor dining room overlooking the ocean. A comprehensive breakfast and dinner menu spans from huevos rancheros to rich chicken mole, paired with a beverage program that leans into Mexico's strong agave heritage while championing artisanal spirits and local botanicals. Other culinary highlights include Che Che, an alfresco Japanese-Mexican fusion spot; El Changarro, serving tacos, guacamole, and beer right on the beach; and Chu Chu, the go-to for coffee and pastries in the morning. Whether it's a casual bite or a celebratory feast, dining at Etéreo elevates every stay into something unforgettable. | | | | |  | | Rancho La Puerta | | Tecate, MX | | If you've been feeling like you need a total detox, a weeklong reset to reconnect at Rancho La Puerta is the perfect getaway to focus on health and wellbeing.

Menus are seasonal, semi-vegetarian, and emphasize freshness, with fresh, sustainably sourced seafood specially brought in daily from coastal cities.

It's the rare kind of place where picking herbs at sunrise, days filled with fitness, and stargazing after dinner feel like the most natural way to reset. First-time guests get a $350 credit with this special offer. | | | | |  | | OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa | | Kailua-Kona, HI | | At OUTRIGGER Kona Resort & Spa, your taste buds are in for a vacation of their own.

Its headline act, Bombay Brasserie, is helmed by Chef Thomas George, whose menus reframe India's breadth of flavors through a French lens. Start with Duck Samosas sharpened by cherry, then move to the Tandoori Ratatouille, layered with avocado and red pepper remoulade, and cocktails like the Peepli, where mezcal smolders against turmeric, jalapeño-maple, and curry leaf. Sundays turn decadent with a three-course brunch that folds dishes like Dosa Waffles with fried chicken into the same orbit as Mango Kulfi and espresso martinis. Downstairs, the Campton Bar & Bistro plays a different note San Franciscans have long relied on: an easygoing spot that transitions seamlessly from daytime bites to late-night cocktails, equally part neighborhood standby and hotel classic. Together, the two venues give this century-old address a distinctly modern edge, proof that in Union Square, dining is as integral as the stay itself. | | | | |  | | Hotel Theo New Orleans, Tapestry Collection by Hilton | | New Orleans, LA | | At Hotel Theo New Orleans, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, the bar cart of history is well-stocked. This 1888 apothecary once prescribed tonics and bitters, but today its cure-all comes shaken over ice. The house pour, Theo Elixir, blends bourbon, honey syrup, citrus, and lavender with enough swagger to feel like a local secret. Downstairs, Lyons Corner is the hotel's lively anchor, equal parts neighborhood hangout and culinary stage. The menu tips into tradition while keeping its sleeves rolled: gumbo and po' boys share space with muffaletta chopped salad, fried oysters finished with pickled shallots, and flounder Pontchartrain served with artichokes, local crab, and preserved lemon beurre blanc. Coffee and conversation stretch through the day, while beignets and bubbly carry into the night. Set in Central Business District, the restaurant pulls in the city's rhythm without fanfare. The French Quarter heat is a short walk away, but Lyons Corner plays a quieter note, serving fare that keeps visitors and locals lingering longer. | | | | | | Food & Wine is part of the People Inc. publishing family. | | | | |
