Latin Heritage Part 3: Staying at the Table with Chef Marco Antonio Ferreyra of Sobremesa

Chef Marco Antonio Ferreyra, Executive Chef and Owner of Sobremesa

As our journey through Central and Latin America comes to an end, we sit down at the table with Chef Marco Antonio Ferreyra, Executive Chef and Owner of Sobremesa.

For Chef Marco, that sense of connection lives through his mother's chilaquiles, a warm and comforting dish that takes him straight back home.

The dish that carries the memories

Some dishes are remembered less for how they look and more for how they make you feel. Chilaquiles are exactly that kind of dish: humble, generous, and built to be shared, the sort of meal that brings a household to the table and keeps everyone there a little longer than planned.

Using ingredients supplied by Bidfood UAE, Chef Marco recreates the dish that continues to carry those memories and inspire his culinary journey today. It is a reminder that great cooking is often a conversation with the past, and that the right ingredients help a chef honour a recipe rather than reinvent it.

Sobremesa is not about the meal ending. It is about the moment after, when the stories begin.

Why the name Sobremesa fits

Naming a restaurant after a tradition of connection says a lot about what a chef values. At Sobremesa, the food is the beginning of the experience, and the conversation, the laughter, and the time spent together are what guests take home.

Why Bidfood stands behind Sobremesa

At Bidfood UAE, we are proud to supply the ingredients behind chefs who cook with heart, and to be part of the stories that unfold around the table. Thank you to Chef Marco, and to every chef who shared a piece of home with us this month.
