The story
BACÁN, at 6100 Wave Hotel Dr. in Buenaventura Lakes, Florida, is a Latin American restaurant recognized with a Michelin Recommended distinction (2026). The kitchen blends Caribbean, French and South American influences into a menu built around the bold flavors of the Americas.
Executive Chef Guillaume Robin leads the kitchen with sous chef Ryne Wood. Robin received the Maîtres Cuisiniers de France title in 2025. The chef tasting experience draws on flavors from Central and South America, presented with a refined hand.
Wood visits local farms, including Sugartop Farm, to select seasonal ingredients for the menu. The dining room centers on a dramatic open theater kitchen, so guests can watch the cooking as it happens.
