Cygnus27 Unveils New Menu to Create A Latin-Inspired Dining Experience in Grand Rapids

Cygnus27, Grand Rapids’ AAA Four-Diamond restaurant, has introduced a new Latin American-inspired menu offering an approachable dining experience for locals and visitors alike.

Rising culinary star Chef de Cuisine Tim Moreno took inspiration from his heritage to create the new menu which highlights a wide variety of Latin flavors and dishes from Spain, Mexico, and South America.

“The new menu showcases my passions and background with traditional and contemporary twists on Latin favorites,” said Chef de Cuisine Tim Moreno in a release. “I’m proud to lead Cygnus27 in a new direction and elevate the culinary scene in downtown Grand Rapids.”

Located on the 27^th floor of the Amway Grand Plaza, Cygnus27 provides a great view of Grand Rapids from floor-to-ceiling windows alongside tapas-style shareable dishes like halibut ceviche, a traditional Central American dish consisting of fresh halibut, mint, carrots, jalapeno, pickled jicama, watermelon radish, citrus, and blood orange vinaigrette.

Other menu highlights include chorizo croquettes, corn crusted calamari, and manchego fritters. Entrées include spice rubbed pork chops paired with scallion arepa, prickly pear coulis, peanut slaw, and a tamarind reduction.

New General Manager Manny Rivera will help Chef Moreno bring the new Latin flavors to Grand Rapids.

“We have created a menu and ambiance unlike anything in Grand Rapids,” said Rivera in a release. “This menu caters to those who want to experience something new with the same high-quality ingredients, flavors and service they have come to know and love from Cygnus27.”

The combination of Latin flavors and the the amazing views of Grand Rapids provide an ambiance that is completely unmatched in the region.
