Mexico's Grand Velas Rivera Nayarit Welcomes New Executive Chef
Chef Lengger heads up the resort's five restaurants, three of which have been awarded the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award for their gourmet French, Italian or Mexican cuisine, service and stylish decor.

Within the coming months, Lengger plans to debut a new Signature Margarita Menu that includes margaritas concocted with peanut, avocado, hibiscus, coffee, clamato, cocoa, soursop, mole, tamarindo and more at Frida, the Mexican fine dining experience known for its dishes that legendary artist Frida Kahlo made for her lover, the famed Diego Rivera. Just recently, Lengger revamped the menu at Lucca which nightly serves Italian-Mediterranean cuisine in an elegant fine dining atmosphere to offer ambitiously prepared homemade pasta like Linguine in Sundried Tomato Pesto with Goat Cheese, Basil and Taggiasca Olives and Potato Gnocchi in smooth Gorgonzola sauce, tossed with Rucola and Cherry Tomatoes. Finally, Lengger will be debuting new menus next month at Piaf, the resort's French restaurant. New wine pairing menus as well as wine menus are also on tap for the coming months.

Chef Lengger was classically trained in Vienna, Austria, holds the Austrian Master Chef Title and was awarded a Bronze metal at the Culinary Olympics in Frankfurt, Germany.
