Our kitchen

Maria Fé’s passion for cooking sparked when she was a little girl watching her grandma prepare meals for the family. Years later after her daughter was born, Maria Fé found herself looking for a novel professional challenge. She instantly knew gastronomy was her new future. She went on to study at the Cordon Bleu & experimented with different ingredients, destinations, & methods. For the past 12 years she has been the executive chef at Relais & Châteaux’s Titilaka & now CIRQA.

“My signature style is focusing on simplicity, but overflowing with flavour; showcasing the authentic essence of the destination’s gastronomy. A kitchen’s success is only achieved when you combine new learnings with what is already known; you don’t replace ancient traditions just like that—you value and use them.”
