What Makes BIO Restaurant Different?

Culinary concept

An Entirely Vegan Menu

BIO is centered completely around plant-based cooking rather than offering only a few vegan substitutions alongside a conventional menu.

Mexican influence

Familiar Flavors, Different Ingredients

Mexican ingredients, regional seasonings, and Mayan traditions shape dishes prepared without meat, dairy, or other animal products.

Natural surroundings

Dining Inside a Cave

Stone walls, open cave entrances, tropical vegetation, and the nearby river give BIO a setting unlike the resort’s conventional dining rooms.

What Kind of Food Does BIO Serve?

Plant-Based Mexican Cooking

BIO uses vegetables, grains, legumes, seeds, fruit, and plant-based preparations to present Mexican flavors without relying on animal products.

Plant-based interpretations of Mexican dishes

Mexican sauces and vegan moles

Legume- and vegetable-based preparations

Plant-based cheeses and milks

Smoothies, juices, and fresh beverages

Choosing BIO

Is BIO the Right Restaurant for You?

BIO is especially well suited to guests who want a plant-based meal in one of Hotel Xcaret Mexico’s most distinctive natural settings.

Dedicated plant-based dining: BIO is built around vegan cuisine rather than treating plant-based dishes as a small alternative menu.
Mexican-inspired flavors: Chef Miguel Bautista’s approach highlights vegetables, grains, legumes, seeds, sauces, and regional ingredients.
Natural cave setting: The restaurant overlooks the river from a cave-integrated dining space, creating a quieter and more intimate atmosphere.
Consider another restaurant if: You prefer grilled meats, seafood, a large buffet, live entertainment, or a formal tasting-menu experience.
