In search of the hidden restaurants
In my facination of the Paladar of Cuba -
"Most restaurants in Cuba are controlled by the government, but there is another option for visitors and it's called a Paladar, which means dining in people's homes."
I have begun to wonder if this type of dining exists in Mexico. As the Cuban Paladar is a creation stemming from its political situation, these 'hidden restaurants' or 'supper clubs' have also been popping up more in other cities of the world as offspring of budding chefs or passionate foodies.
I am hoping that in a country so food loving as Mexico, there is sure to be one or two of these dining experiences around.
I don't mind if it is a old shack, in some palatial home or a one off experience in a kitchen that is usually shut from visitors, as long as it has a story, and a delicious (or not so delicious) meal at the end of it..
Any advice would be much appreciated. I am planning to be in Mexico and then travel to neighbouring countries in June of next year.
