Pink Agave

When we talk about culinary experiences on the high seas, Pink Agave is one of those places that truly manages to capture the essence of the vibrant atmosphere of the streets of Mexico City. But don't think it's the typical place where you'll only find tacos. It goes much further! Here, food is a story that is shared and enjoyed in company.

Designed by the renowned Tom Dixon's Design Research Studio, this restaurant aboard Virgin Voyages' ships offers a culinary journey that is both social and spicy. One of its highlights is the "immersive void" lighting, which, along with the design, transports visitors directly to the heart of Mexico. It's not just a place to dine; it's a gastronomic tour where you can discover authentic Mexican dishes ranging from tlayudas, memelas, and sopes to esquites and tamales.

By the way, if you're fans of mezcal and tequila, you'll be pleased to know that this space offers a wide selection of both beverages. And if you like the idea of enjoying a more festive atmosphere, know that the place turns into a nighttime lounge, where you can relax, chat, and why not, move to the rhythm of the music.

As for the cost, here's some good news. There's no charge for dining at Pink Agave. In other words, the food is included with the Virgin Voyages package. However, that doesn't apply to alcohol and some beverages that are pay-as-you-consume. While reservations are not necessary, we do recommend making them, especially during high-demand seasons. And for that, nothing's better than using the Sailor App.

Next, we provide a quick view of the Pink Agave menu. Keep in mind that, as in any dynamic restaurant, the menu can adapt and change over time. Here are some standout dishes:
