Hacienda de los Morales Launches Festival de la Nogada Through Sept. 30

The Mexico City restaurant turns the seasonal classic into a broader nogada program with year-round availability.

Overview

  • The fifth annual edition features the traditional Chile en Nogada and an expanded lineup of nogada-themed dishes and desserts.
  • The kitchen presents multiple preparations inspired by nuez de Castilla, moving beyond the flagship dish to a wider seasonal menu.
  • A dessert centerpiece debuts as a crystallized chile filled with nogada ice cream, alongside a flourless walnut chocolate cake and a carrot–walnut cake.
  • Executive chef Benigno Fernández says the restaurant serves Chile en Nogada all year by purchasing nogada in season and conserving it to meet ongoing demand.
  • Service tips from management recommend a slightly fruity white or a young red, a cool (not cold) nogada, and bites that combine chile, sauce, pomegranate and filling.
