Renowned Montreal Chef Kimberly Lallouz to do an American Thanksgiving weekend event at W Punta de Mita in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico. W Punta de Mita in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico is encouraging travelers to ditch the kitchen this Thanksgiving by bringing the a top female chef from Montreal to the property to host a four-day series of culinary events.

Chef Kimberly Lallouz did not go to culinary school, but became known as a reveled girl boss and leading female chef in Montreal after opening Miss Prêt à Manger and Monsieur Restaurant and Bar.

Plus sunset meditations, an Agave + Maple Dinner (inspired by the chef’s Canadian background), ceviche-making demos, and a farewell dim sum brunch at their Jean Georges’ restaurant, Spice Market.
