16th of June 2009 – Opening Maya Cebu restaurant

CEBU, Philippines – Hot on the heels of their success with abacá boutique resort + restaurant, restaurateurs Anna and Jason Hyatt have opened their second restaurant, Maya. Combining the simplicity of authentic Mexican recipes with fresh, high quality ingredients, Maya offers unparalleled, delectable Mexican cuisine in a charming, contemporary setting.

The Hyatts, along with their partners, designed the restaurant to evoke the look and feel of a modern yet masculine venue, getting much of their inspiration from trips to Mexico and Spain. The ground floor and outside seating areas are the more traditional restaurant settings while the second floor has a lounge feeling with a long antique solid wood bar and artisan crafted communal table to appreciate the many 100% blue agave tequilas on offer. The space is a blend of local furnishings such as traditional adobe stone and handmade Mexican wrought iron / blown glass light fixtures and tequila glasses, provided by Arjan Los from LOS Factory.
