This winter, Supper at Hotel Emma invites you on a culinary journey that blends the vibrant flavors of South Texas with a global flair, thanks to the visionary leadership of their new Executive Chef, Geronimo Lopez. Nestled in San Antonio’s iconic Pearl District, the Michelin Two-Key property is redefining seasonal dining with a bold, innovative menu that celebrates local partnerships and culinary artistry.

Chef Lopez, a James Beard Foundation honoree and Food Network alum, has seamlessly infused his multicultural heritage into every dish, paying homage to the unique tapestry of flavors that defines South Texas cuisine. With a career spanning three decades across luxury hotels and Michelin-starred kitchens in Europe, Mexico, and Hawaii, Lopez has brought a wealth of expertise and a touch of elegance to Supper’s table.

The winter dinner menu is a symphony of indulgence, featuring starters like Scallop au Gratin with salsa macha verde and the luxurious Osetra Noir Caviar Kit. For the main course, guests can savor the Black Cod al Pil Pil, or delight in the Stuffed Quail with dirty rice and chicken liver demi. Supper also shines with its premium selection of beef, including Akaushi wagyu and classic cuts like Filet Mignon and NY Strip. Lunch options are equally enticing, with comforting creations such as the Short Rib Grilled Cheese or lighter fare like the Winter Citrus Salad.

Chef Lopez’s commitment to local ingredients shines through partnerships with regional purveyors, including La Babia Beef and the San Antonio Food Bank, ensuring every bite reflects the essence of South Texas. Complementing the menu, Supper’s revamped beverage program under General Manager Scott Ota offers an “Emma Strong” wine experience, seasonal cocktails like the Earl Grey-infused "Earl," and the hotel’s signature La Babia cocktail.

In true Hotel Emma style, dining is more than just a meal—it's an experience. Guests can enjoy complimentary “Chef’s Tasting” events every Friday, savoring exclusive samplings of Lopez’s seasonal creations. Mark your calendars for February 18, 2025, when the highly anticipated “La Babia Dinner” will feature a curated pairing of regional partners like La Babia Beef, Silver Oak wines, and Bardstown Bourbon Co.
