La Concha Resort Unveils Levant: A Mediterranean Culinary Masterpiece in the Iconic Perla Building

Acclaimed Chef Michael White Set to Elevate La Concha Resort's Beachfront Dining Experience with a Sophisticated Mediterranean-Inspired Restaurant, Marking a Milestone in the Resort's 65th Anniversary Transformation

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- La Concha Resort, San Juan's premier beachfront lifestyle resort, is thrilled to announce the upcoming opening of its new culinary destination, Levant. This exciting new concept, helmed by renowned Chef Michael White, represents a meaningful step forward for La Concha Resort and the vibrant dining scene of San Juan. Debuting in the fall, Levant underscores La Concha Resort's ongoing property-wide enhancements in celebration of the resort's 65th anniversary, marking a significant moment in La Concha Resort's historical legacy. Levant is poised to become a must-visit destination for locals and travelers, setting a new standard for culinary excellence and offering an unparalleled experience in the heart of San Juan.

Featuring breathtaking design set in an enchanting locale, Levant will occupy a premier location within the iconic Perla building—a seashell-shaped architectural marvel designed by the internationally renowned architect Mario Salvatori in 1958. The iconic seashell shaped floating venue, celebrated for its extraordinary engineering and architectural beauty, will serve as the backdrop for one-of-a-kind epicurean experiences, seamlessly blending the elegance of the Mediterranean with the stunning vistas of the Caribbean.

Chef Michael White, a visionary in the fine dining world, will bring his innovative and sophisticated culinary creations to Puerto Rico with the opening of Levant. With accolades including a James Beard award and five simultaneous Michelin stars, Chef White's notable career spans positions in acclaimed kitchens including Spiaggia in Chicago and Marea in New York. Inspired by his travels across Europe and the Mediterranean, Chef White's cuisine at Levant will transcend traditional Italian fare, offering a unique menu infused with his signature style and a global palette, promising a remarkable gastronomic journey. For diners seeking style and unique dining offerings, his refined approach and creativity promise to establish Levant as a sought-after addition to the island's dining scene.

"Our vision for Levant was to create a restaurant where guests and locals can savor the authentic tastes of the Mediterranean while enjoying the beautiful beachfront setting of La Concha Resort," said Rolando Padua, President of Paulson Puerto Rico. "The addition of Levant marks a significant step in the evolution of La Concha Resort into an Autograph Hotel, aligning with a collection of distinctive and meticulously curated hotels designed to make a lasting impact and marking the first of its kind in Puerto Rico. We are confident that our visitors will be enchanted by the restaurant's décor, lively ambiance, and exceptional culinary selections. This notable expansion solidifies La Concha's reputation as a top-tier destination, consistently raising the bar for elegance and outstanding hospitality."

Set against the shimmering waters of the Caribbean Sea the menu will evoke a journey around the Mediterranean. Referencing the nautical tradewinds, Levant draws inspiration from the fishermen, traders, and adventurers who traveled across the Mediterranean, incorporating the flavors and ingredients from Spain, Italy, Greece, and beyond. Dishes will be rooted in time-honored traditions, delivering an authentic taste of the region's rich culinary heritage. A thoughtfully curated wine list will spotlight Mediterranean vineyards, along with signature cocktails infused with the vibrant flavors of the region, immersing guests in an enriching dining experience that is both elegant and approachable.

Levant's refined design by Celano Design Studio Co and branding by AgenCe Design Co pays homage to the glamorous era of the 1950s when the restaurant was originally built. Mid-century modern elements, travels to the Mediterranean, and the mix of sun and sea create a sense of place within the beautiful setting of La Concha Resort's beachfront location. Nautical-inspired details and an opulent aesthetic feature prominently, including white oak, ocean blue tiles, and striking artwork by local artist Angel Colon. The entrance captivates with a stunning bar, guiding you into the main dining room, where sophisticated tranquility reigns. With its breezy materials, unique textures, and panoramic ocean views, the space promises an ambiance that is both chic and inviting. Natural stone materials from the Mediterranean serve as the perfect backdrop for Chef White's bold dishes. In reverence of the past, Murano glass lamps, original to the space will shine onto the iconic ceiling reflective of the sparkling water surrounding the location. Levant will nestle guests in the beauty of Puerto Rico's coastline as they indulge in bold, innovative dishes, with unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Levant's upcoming debut will serve as a breath of new life for the cherished and iconic Perla building, solidifying La Concha Resort's position as the Caribbean's foremost lifestyle destination. This famous piece of architectural history and beloved national historic landmark is set to reclaim its original glory as a must-visit destination in Puerto Rico. Levant will join recent property enhancements, including the serene Elemara Spa & Salon and vibrant Tekka Bar: Handroll & Sake, an engaging counter-side sushi concept in the resort's lobby, further enriching the resort's exceptional offerings.
