Taking inspiration from London's Silo, where Chef Max MacLean previously worked, Baldio is zeroing in on zero waste. It's all about a holistic approach to sustainability, going beyond the locally caught freshwater fish and vegetables from chinampas farms to include in-house water purification and recycled corn husk paper for printing. Green practices aside, this restaurant doesn't pull any punches when it comes to cooking, available à la carte or as a tasting menu. Dishes like fluke crudo, shingled with slices of jicama, star fruit and avocado in a leche de tigre, or the heirloom tomato medley with ginger-pickled chayote over sikil pak (a Yucatán dip made from toasted pepitas, charred tomatoes, habanero, cilantro and onion) display this kitchen's skill.
"We have a farming team and have created a network of more than 50 farming families in central Mexico. Nothing that we serve on our food menu comes by plane. We have a zero-waste system and we're generating compost (not waste) with less than 5% of what comes into the kitchen. We have a fermentation program through which we give many uses to ingredients. We upcycle materials such as glass and turn them into coasters, ash and turn it into biomaterials such as ashtrays and tortilleros."
