Best Michelin Star Restaurants In Mexico City Near Me

Phillip Jares: The atmosphere was very nice and the staff were very prompt. We received the tasting menu and the waiter explained each dish served. A few things were very tasty. I do not like cilantro and one dish was very heavy with the flavor. My dining companion enjoyed it. Overall, I was very disappointed with most things served. At this price point I expected more.

Nha Ha: A great experience and excellent setting. There wasn’t a wine pairing when I went but they did offer what they thought would be a great drink to pair. I would opt to finish dessert in the patio if the weather is nice and it isn’t too busy. Food wasn’t mind blowing but it was tastefully done and had great flavor to it.

Melanie s: Solid 3.5. I had been looking forward to this meal for weeks but sad to say it did not meet my expectations - not even close. The space is gorgeous and the service was good, but the food simply did not impress. The dishes look nice but none of the dishes made me think, wow that was fantastic. And when the check came, I felt that the value didn't match the price paid whatsoever. I think it's clear they're taking advantage of the hype, and just don't care about the quality delivered. Maximo for instance was much tastier in my opinion and more reasonably priced. And honestly charging 200 pesos for a bottle of water is a scam. They can really do better for the prices they charge.

T Le: Came here with my husband because of the show Chef’s Table. It was a unique dining experience that you want to have once if you are visiting Mexico City! You can tell there was a lot of time and thought that was put into each dish which we appreciate. A+ for creativity! The service was flawless. Some reviews may say this place is overrated but if you like to indulge in fine dining, definitely give this place a try!! We booked our reservation 3 months ahead so make sure you pre-book before your trip!

Ceraun Loggins: This was worthy of the months wait and the price tag. Such a beautiful intimate dining experience. The flavors in the mouth was divine and you can tell how much thought and effort went into making this meal. The wine pairing is def what I would get because they were so divine and really highlighted the dishes. Standouts are the lobster Brussels sprout taco and the crab soup with crab empanada

Sunny Hirpara: This is my second Pujol experience and it simply always seems to impress. The ambiance to the service to the wine selection to the incredible food. We were blown away. I will admit I wasn’t a fan of the main fish dish but I always seem to not like 1 dish out of a tasting menu. Beyond that, everything was perfect. The chef even allowed us to come back into the kitchen and had the whole kitchen staff take a picture with us! So incredibly nice of them!

Caroline Shea: The only positive thing I have to say about Pujol is that the restaurant decor is aesthetically pleasing. I believe that it was once a fabulous restaurant as I know several people who had great things to say (none of whom have been in the past few years). I visited last week, on my first trip to Mexico City, after wanting to eat there for at least 6 or 7 years. The service was clunky and mediocre. Finding out about wine and even getting to look at a wine list was far more difficult than it should be. Not one dish we were served was delicious. Not one. There were elements of some that were good, but nothing I would like to eat again. The mole was the best thing, but serving it with only tortillas that are half odd-tasting leaf, half tortilla just wasn’t yummy. It’s rare that I take the time to write a restaurant review, but Pujol seems to be resting on the laurels of what it once was (and many dollars from tourists). There is absolutely no reason to spend $200-300/person at Pujol when some of our most delicious meals cost $45 for 3 people. Don’t waste your money!

Vee: Beautiful place, very sophisticated and modern. We did the tasting menu and were very full of delicious food by the end. Some portions were a little big, and I wasn't sold on the one weird foam/goo combo for dessert. (You get 3 desserts.) Could have used some substance and texture. And you really have to love and appreciate mole for one of the plates, which I guess I don't enough because it was like eating a plate of sauce. My date loved it though! There were some standout options as well. Everything is nicely presented and prompt. Service was impeccable and fast, and informative. The bar is not the best stocked but they have a decent choice of tequila, mezcal, and wines. Don't expect any fancy craft cocktails but they do the classics really well, and can tweak and twist them to your taste.

Kira Sea: Had a lovely dinner here. I got little tripped up by worlds 5th best restaurant since there is a higher expectation and food is subjective but overall, it was good. Loved the ant and the corn. Also really enjoyed the tortillas that had leaf since I didn’t get to try that anywhere else.

Jainif Marediya: This place was really good and my favorite in Mexico City. I liked this much better than Pujol. The flavors were really good here and the service was great too. It was cool to sit at the bar but I wish the step on the bar wasn’t there so that I could actually see the kitchen at work but that was my only complaint on the scenery. On the food, I do wish there was one more dessert course but aside from that this place is a must try

Keith Michael Godfrey: Easy to understand why this is one of the top 50 restaurants in Latin America. From the minute you walk through the door you realize you are in for an experience. The dishes were exquisite and unique to Quintonil and their chef. This is definitely a "bucket list" restaurant for foodies. Make that reservation and enjoy!

Diana H. Wayne: My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and had the kitchen set menu and It was amazing! I’ve been to other top rated restaurants and this was up there. The presentation and uniqueness of the dishes made the experience magical. I Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Lisa: I came here for my birthday, ordered the tasting menu, and had an amazing experience. First off they modified the menu to suit my needs (vegetarian) and they did a wonderful job of accommodating without any sense of compromise. The food was rich, vibrant, and inventive. I would recommend Quintonil to anyone!

M Smith: Amazing experience and delicious food! We came for the 10 course tasting and was not disappointed! Actually it was so good we came back the next day to try the rest of the menu à la carte. We came due to it being one of the top 50 best restaurants in the world (along with another restaurant near by) and we definitely like the food here better after trying both places!

Monica Osorio: Simply amazing. Had the tasting menu and it truly felt like an intro to Mexican cuisine. The kitchen was synchronized and it was completely exciting to see a woman leading the kitchen! ⭐️ service is great and the venue is intimate and cozy

Victor Lopez: Incredible. The service and front of the house staff was amazing. Thank you guys. But by God the food was nothing short of amazing. I would have hugged the chef(s) for their craft. It's hard to even describe how complex some of the dishes were. From the nopal salad opener to the Mole with vegetables, the flavor, texture, balance, and presentation were perfect. The Mole in particular was off the charts, and for the first time made me involuntary close my eyes in pure bliss while I savored the first and second bite. I may have let out a sigh. If you can make it here, do it. Vegetarian options: Various items on the menu were vegetable forward. There was a starter and main for vegetarians on the a la carte menu, not sure about tasting. Dietary restrictions: They ask if you have any allergies or need any accomodations upon reservations and before you are seated to make changes.

Raj Sheth: An amazing, amazing experience. We were seated in a kitchen experience, watching the chefs work was just amazing. For such an intricate and complex meal the chefs worked so smoothly and were not rushed anywhere, it was a well oiled machine. We did the tasting menu, 1 vegetarian and 1 normal. It was surprising that the veg and non veg meals were SO different. It almost felt as we were at two different restaurants because the flavor profiles were so different. That being said, the food was quite amazing and delicious, 10 courses and just hitting all my taste buds in different ways. I will say the service seemed a little "fast". The downtime in between courses was surprisingly quick. Talking about service I felt like the attention to detail was lacking. When they put down different utensils for us they were often misaligned and haphazardly placed. The servers were very nice but didn't really spend much time building a relationship with us to enhance the experience. I think this was the difference between a 5 and 4 star. For such an expensive meal there should have been a little more attention to detail.

Sunny Hirpara: What a stunning experience. We went for an à la cart lunch since we were going to Pujol for dinner and this place totally impressed us. From the quality of the ingredients to the service. Everything was absolutely impeccable. I hope to come back for the tasting menu one day. Totally deserves to be part of the top 50 restaurants in the world.

Philip Gissen: I loved my meal at Merotoro, but my wife thought it was just “good.” Located in trendy Condesa, Merotoro’s design fits in well. It is lovely and very chic. Miguel, our server, was helpful and tolerant of our poor language skills. The food was excellent, and my beef cheeks were maybe the best I have ever eaten. My octopus and sweetbread appetizer was very savory. My wife didn’t do as well, because her risotto and grilled salmon trout main were just mediocre, but I’m writing the review, so Merotoro gets five stars. This wasn’t the best of the best, but Merotoro probably deserves 4.5 stars. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would return.

Charlye Tran: !Qué delicioso! My friends drank too much mezcal so I was on my own for dinner. Merotoro definitely hit the spot! Everyone was super friendly and sweet even when trying to understand my broken Spanglish. The food was amazing, and the bartenders were the kindest and most welcoming. They sent out the yummiest appetizer since my entree took a while to prepare (totally worth the wait)!

Catarina Do: I absolutely loved the service here, the waiters were so nice and patient (my spanish is not great, they will offer an english menu). I loved the beef tartare and the vibes :) it was not very expensive and it was one of my favorite experiences in mexico city

Ashley Ascencio: I just had an incredible meal here with my family. The cachete was unbelievable. The aguachile-delicious and fresh. The service was perfect and the drinks were delicious. It’s a very approachable high end style meal and I would come back and bring friends any time.

Mary C: Coming from the US, excellent value for such an upscale restaurant. Spacious and modern. Food was thoughtfully created and artfully displayed. Waiters were attentive. I was expecting to be on edge because of our three young children, but nobody seemed to cast any annoyed glances our way so I could relax and enjoy the meal. It was definitely an experience and not just dinner! Highly recommend.

Monica Rivera: The venue was cozy, however a bit dark to have a meal. Food was good, relatively varied menu. Tasty cannellonis. Loved the chocolate dessert. Nice cocktails and wine by the glass. Prices were ok for the portions and taste. Great service.

Kyle Franko: Spectacular service that was on point our entire meal. Wild meal options, like octopus chorizo and beef tartare with fried grasshoppers, great desert, and an industrial decor that managed to not feel "cold" or "sterile". To top it off, we forgot our leftovers and the security guard met us down street with them after we stopped at a convenience store. 100% worth every penny and minute spent here!

Antoine Bilodeau Bordeleau (Antoine Bilbord): Food and drinks and delicious. Excellent mezcal. The service was friendly, prompt and professional. Nice conversation with the waiter. Nice outdoor seating

Ankit Wadhwa: One of the best meals I’ve had in cdmx. Can’t go wrong with you order. Service was amazing. The pork with egg was incredible

Taj Meadows: So this place has some great reviews, and has made a bunch of lists of top restaurants, but it wasn’t right for us. The ambiance feels kind of like a standard hotel lobby restaurant…the lighting is pretty bright, and it just feels plain. The food we had was quite good, but I wish there had been a menu we could have looked at online beforehand…we didn’t want to do a long tasting menu, but that seems to be the thing they push. Service was quite good, and in English if needed. Might give it another try, as we were having a rough day and that might have affected things…but there are so many other wonderful places in town that this one didn’t really stand out.

Jordan Joseph: This meal was disappointing for what we expected, and the service was sub-par unfortunately. Beautiful interior, and they were thoughtful to wish us happy anniversary, but we waited much too long in between courses on an evening that the restaurant was not even remotely full. Our waitress could not name the cheeses on the cheese board we ordered; she seemed to be new but this wasn't communicated to us. 75% of the food was lovely, the rest not so much. There are better places to go in CDMX for your time and money.

R K: Took my friends from out of town here for a unique fine dining experience and Lorea delivered! I was worried about the negative reviews but their menu changes constantly so I decided to go and find out for myself. Glad I did. The waiters were kind and very attentive. The food was thought provoking and delicious. My friends and I had a great time.

Nathan Pelc: Incredible tasting menu experience! Loved the entire experience; the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. They explained every dish on the menu, and the Somm had a specialized drink pairing for every course. In total the experience lasted nearly three hours, and we left quite full and very happy.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Marco Sampaio: 5 star restaurant! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, the food was delicious, lots of mezcales (even rare ones), tequilas, wine.. They paid attention to some details, this was the most impressive we ever had. If you want a great, different experience, try it! It’s expensive, but is also worth it.

Carlos Esponda: Lorea is a culinary experience that should not be overlooked when booking your trip to Mexico City. We were lucky to find the a table. We went with the tasting menu and had about 10 courses. Each course was great and was given with explanation from the chef or waiter. Service was top notch and the selection of drinks were great. Definitely consider this place when going to Mexico.

Wilson Tsang: I made a lunch reservation and didn’t realize it was a la carte instead of tasting menu which was fine. When I was seated for lunch, they gave me two menus that were both tasting menus, one even had my name personalized on it! So this got my hopes up but which were then deflated when they told me it was a mistake and was still doing a la carte. Other than that, service was impeccable. As for the food: Huitlacoche quesadilla soup was way too salty. I understand the Huitlacoche is supposed to balance that out but as it absorbs the soup, the whole thing becomes too salty. Pastrami was strongly flavored and the chickpea purée was simply amazing but yet again, the dish was too salty. Possibly a little less au jus sauce with the sweetness added bringing out too much of the salt levels. Honey dessert was pretty tasty, but just a little bit too much olive oil. The drink I had was amazing with a nice refreshing balance of tart from the grapefruit and sweetness from the syrup and lavender. After tax and tip, the meal came out to $60USD ($1200 MXN) which included one alcoholic beverage, one espresso, bottled water, appetizer, main and dessert so price was fairly reasonable for a higher end restaurant but the food left a bit to be desired (too much salt that I couldn’t finish the appetizer and main)

Margaret Graff (Audace): A return trip to what has become our favorite restaurant in Mexico City. Trust chef Oswaldo Oliva and his team to sweep you away with their amazing tasting menu. Take their advice on the drinks (for us cocktails, Spanish rosé, Mexican red, Tokay). Splurge on the additional truffle course. Marvel at the last morsel offered — and I’m not telling what it is. Such a pity that we have to jump on a plane to get here.

Terry Mohr: After seeing reviews on Mexico City's top 50 bars and restaurants, my wife and I decided to give Lorea a try. We had a fantastic time dining here. We sat at the bar so that we can interact and watch the chefs in action. The meal, service and ambiance were all fantastic. After eating at other highly rated Mexico city restaurants (you know what they are), we are surprised that Lorea is not getting more fanfare. Although this place is visible on the Mexico city's culinary scene, I would say this still is a hidden gem. Highly recommend Lorea.

Ozgur Rugzo: It's a really nice restaurant. I have been here 2 years ago and wanted to come again. Maracuya & mango drink was incredibly delicious. Tacos are fine. Very attentive staff and very friendly. Love it. Keep in mind their card machine doesn't support Maestro.

CVillalobosJr: What can I say about this place except that it worth every penny. Not only was the food and drinks absolutely delicious, but the service was just as amazing. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary, and the server went out of his way to take pictures of us and even gave us a shot of mezcal on the house. Definitely make a reservation as you won’t regret it!

Garden OfEden 7777: This restaurant is a little expensive but totally worth it in my opinion. The food is flavourful and there’s a lot of option - you can also opt to try samples of a variety of dishes. The service, atmosphere and decor is great as well.

Etienne M: Wow, impressive! It's beautiful, service is great, tacos tasting menu is excellent.Just be aware that everyone at the table needs to order the same tasting menu you cannot share or combine multiple menu items.

Sucheta Nadig: We had the steak and quail because we wanted to try their mole - both were amazing but I think we enjoyed the white mole more. Dessert was a little disappointing, we had the sweet tamale which was a bit dry and just too much chocolate with no relief. The hot chocolate was nice but a little too sweet for our taste. Their Fanatica hot sauce is wonderful - definitely worth trying!

Elena Buenrostro: The tacos were great, but everything else okay. When we entered, we asked to sit in a booth. The waitress told us it was reserved, but the restaurant was nearly empty. Even when we were done with our meal 1.5 hours later, the booth we asked to sit in was still empty.

Michael Rasmussen: Went after it was recommended by a friend and a tour guide as having fantastic cocktails and it certainly didn't disappoint! My wife and I each had two of their cocktails that were fantastic and we shared a duck tostada appetizer and a chocolate tamale dessert plus tried a bit of their tuna and soy tartar. It was all amazing. Total was about $65us including 20% tip, which is a bargain vs what the quality of food and drink would have been in the USA. Definitely worth a stop if you are interested in craft cocktails!

Wanderers Compass Travel Blog: This was an exceptional dining experience in the heart of the Historic District of Mexico City. This is Haute Cuisine at its best with a culinary twist in both presentation and the flavors of traditional Mexican cuisine. The ambiance of this charming and intimate restaurant is what first draws you in. The stunning award winning decor from the boutique shop at the entry, to the dining room to even the bathrooms take your breath away. Even the serving dishes and glasses at unique and of exceptional quality. The attention to detail is remarkable. Take the time to examine your surroundings. Service from the welcome and throughout the whole meal is top class. It beats out many Michelin Stars we have been too. We adored our Wine Stewart who knew his wines and was blast to chat with. What can we say about the food other that they serve gastronomic excellence Limosneros offers ingredients and traditional techniques of Mexico with a contemporary touch. A joy to all our senses. Limosneros collects ingredients from their rich homeland to tantalize your palate. Our meal was delivered at a leisurely pace so we could savor each and every dish. That evening we chose their tasting menu with wine pairing. Nine course plus (we had two complimentary ones) with a different wine with each course that blew us away. The freshness and quality of the food could not have been better. They also make custom salsa table-side. We like things spicy and ordered a medium strength to be safe. It was way too spicy. This was a special treat and we could not be happier with our evening. Highly recommend! Reservations are a must.

Adam Wilson: This place is pretty amazing. Great atmosphere and service, and the food is even better. Had the chicken mole and ribs, outstanding. Best I've had in a long time. Oh and dessert was great.

Deedee Xu: Honestly I don't know why this place doesn't get more hype. The service is amazing, the staff went above and beyond for us. We got the tasting menu with wine pairing included and everything was so delicious and well executed. Not to mention reasonably priced. We've been in Mexico city for three weeks and this restaurant was definitely a highlight amongst all the touristy and "highly rated" places, which were mostly underwhelming to us. If we had more time we would come back.

Kyle Herzig: Great experience from the mixed drinks to wonderful food. The staff was amazing to include a very talented bar tender and Ran the manager wad awesome. Very glad we went and will definitely be back.

James Valinezhad: Disappointed in my meal and experience. The soup was basically a bone broth, and the scallops had been described to me as “entree sized” - it could not have been more than 3oz of scallops, which were chewy and undercooked. I ate most of it because I was hungry from waiting, but it was an overall extremely disappointing experience. Service was pleasant, otherwise it would be 1 star.

Jonathan Moore: Bajel is a fantastic celebration of Mexican foodstuffs & culinary craft. We enjoyed every dish, and the thoughtfully curated selection of excellent cocktails. The wait staff is extremely knowledgeable and the attended to our allergies with care. Highly recommend

Jordan: Extremely well made food. I thought the portions were the correct size for a tasting menu. The staff speaks extremely good English and knows the dishes inside and out.

Pol Picas (Mr. Picas): Tried this restaurant on christmas day. With only one month opened it shows a really nice level. We got the 5 course menu, (beeing a bit pricey for the city, but not for the space), which you can choose and make it your way. We choose 10 different dishes so we could try more. Starting with an amouse bouche which was pretty interesting, containing a purple sauerkraut, a homemade raspberry bonegar gel and holandaise with the sauerkraut juice, along with it, a crispy toast composed with cereals, lima beans and its pure, very fresh. The chef claims that he wants to work with some fermentation and traditional local products. We start the menu with the section of insects, trying one dish with escamoles (ant eggs) that was amazing, the texture was untuos, taste like earth a bit mushroomy but fresh bc it cantaint aguacate and chile serrano, on top a crispy ant made with burnt onion, that disnt taste too much. The other course was the chicatana ants, which we didn’t like too much, I guess the flavours all together didn’t work for us. Following up a bit more fermentation, this time kefir (great acidity, but too sweet for me) foam-like, betabel (purple craut) and nuts, interesting and nice combinarion but my taste was always looking for some more salty, taste like dessert. Onion soup with jamon emulsion, and. Oaxacan cheese. Nice soup, warm, savoury, served with jamon chicharron, also crispy and tasty, if smth i’ll ask for more jamon flavour on the soup which wasnt too much tasty. Following with some eggplant in escabeche along with a pure made with black and white garlic, some crispy layer made with chard and also some chard cream, nice course maybe didnt work as much as the other ingredients the texture of the eggplant. One of the most interesting dishes was the totoaba (croacker fish) with a huitlacoche pil pil and some stirfried huitlacoche. Being for me huitlacoche one of the most amazing ingredients that I ever seen, it ws such a nice idea to use emulsified in the pil pil, the obly thing i’ll say is that since the dish was a big portion, and the end felt a bit overwhelming aince there was nothing else to break the earthy/unamu flavour, just a bit fresh cilantro (really nice, but not enough). We go with some lechon (suckling pig) served with pipian (kinda green mole) and some mexican herbs, fresh and in tempura, ended with a demiglace made with pork ear. Fresh, spicy, spiced as well, meaty, i guess that’s a nice dish that express perfectly the mexican flavours, i liked pretty much the pipian and reminded me a lot to a thai green curry. On the other side we had a fish served with seaweed. There’s a placton emulsed with aji, we fins some kombu (roasted that was amazing flavour) egg roe and alot of seaweed, 7 kinds they said. I would love to have again this dish, but i’ll add, ofc thats only my opinion, a sashimi cut, instead of a cooked fish served cold, i find the combination was amazingly good, really interesting but missing a nice texture of a fish that felt a bit rubbery, i’d love a fatty sashimi cut on there. A stop to clean abit the palate, an interesting interpretation of paletas (local frutty icecream) made with homemade berries vinegar and served really elegant. Ending with to meat courses, we had the sweetbreads, perfectly cooked and tasty, served with cauliflower pure, dried cauliflower (didnt work as good as the other dried textures) and pasilla chile sauce (i guess it was pasilla or maybe im wrong). A really tasty dish, overpowering abit the sauce but that combines reallly good, and u also fins a bir crumbs of what i think was oaxacan matured cheese. On the other side we had wagyu beef (which i understood was mexican) served with a really tasty and interesting bread yeast sauce , some perfectly cooked tupimanbur and a demiglace made with pork ear and infused with some mustard. Honestly, this dish doesnt need the wagyu, that was totally eclipsed by the other ingredients, i mean the wagyu was good, but man that tupinambur with the yeast dauce and the meatty flavor form the pork saue was too good.

Sergio Nieto: Nice place with good food and great service.

David Mackie: This was an unexpected delight!The food was delicious and the service amazing. Many thanks to all staff and especially Nancy for her expert advice and friendly service and to Ricardo for the wonderful food. Muchas gracias for a special evening.Susan & David

Maria Ivanova: We enjoyed every bite of our 9-course tasting menu dinner. The service and the wine were outstanding as well. Great cosy atmosphere that's also chic at the same time. The food is on the saltier side, but this is exactly how we like it!

nora keller: What an excellent meal! Tried the 9 course tasting menu & each dish was a true culinary experience. Andres and the rest of the staff made our evening even more wonderful.

Anitha Nair: Fabulous food, excellent service and a great meal overall! Also, it's super empty on a Monday night! We had the whole place to ourselves and enjoyed very personalized service!Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Ixchel Bennett: Came for my birthday and was expecting excellent food, service and drinks. We had the 9 course meal and the asparagus and the fish were amazing! The rest were Blah or salty! The service was super rushed and it felt that our waitress didn’t want to waitress. We ordered our cocktails and got them by our 3rd course…disappointed! Then by the 5th course we asked for a bottle of wine and got our 6th, 7th course and nothing. 👎🏼 Music was super loud that our waitress couldn’t even hear what we said. Had to ask twice to turn it down. I came for the weekend to CDMX and wished I had gone to another place. Also, washroom were not clean. Wow! This place should NOT be in the top 100 CDMX places. Live and learn!

Anthony Le: Good for date nights. Great Mexican cuisine. They made the beef tartar tostada next to the table. Cool experience!

Jerome lomba jr: This is a great place for dinner. Perfect sized restaurant, not too big and not too small. I really enjoyed the fact there wasn't any music played which made the convo my wife and I were having very pleasant. We've been to a number of places here to eat where the music was so loud we could barely hear each other. We chose to have the tasting menu for dinner. They have the option of a 6 or 9 courses, we went for 6. The drink menu is not too big, which isn't a problem. They were able to make a non alcoholic Mojito for me. The staff did a great job explaining each dish. More importantly this place is very affordable. I would highly recommend Raiz and when we have visitors we will definitely suggest eating here to them.

Kari McMinn: This was our splurge dinner while visiting Mexico City with 7 other friends. My favorite dish was the tacos. While admittedly I loved some of the street tacos I had more than these, they were still a 5/5 rating.

g.thomas brandeau: 9 course tasting menu was incredible and every bit worth it. Andres and all the rest of the staff were an absolute joy to dine with. A jewel of a restaurant that should be the first stop for anyone wanting to experience fine dining in CDMX. Cannot recommend enough!

Camila Scopel: Perfect service ! And food just wow!

Jeremiah Carroll: So very good. Ordered a Waygu ribeye rare. It was delectable. Service was excellent. Definitely will go back.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Ahiri Tamborrel: Very nice and beautifully decored Japanese restaurant inside hotel Camino Real Polanco. Good enough food but don’t think I will return. There were a lot of people working at restaurant, and we were the only table but service was below what we expected.

Benjamin Zaga: Over priced, understaffed and undercooked.I don't know why they opened only one waiter for.ten tables. The food very very mediocre, a sushi bar in the airport style. Wouldn't recommend getting near this place.

Sergio Lavalle: Really nice dinner, the food is very tasty. I would avoid the rolls considering that every thing else is much tastier and although the rolls are good, they are not the star of the menú. Good warm house sake

Eve S: One of the best service experiences we’ve ever had! Food was great and portions were pretty big.

Ana Antimo: It was absolutely delicious! Omakase 12 piece nigiri totally worth it. The dessert was small but delicious (chocolate cake).

Carlos Alberto Ortiz de la Peña Arteaga: Look at this ramen. Its literally a noodle soup. Not more that 4 ingredients in the brew. Really ridiculous.

Bjørn Furuknap: Amazing place. I recommend getting the tasting menu to truly experience the brilliant food. Presentation is always perfect, and the flavor is rarely beaten.

Anna Ganzha: Very disappointing experience- nothing close to Japanese cousine. Instead of tempura - shrimp nuggets in mayonnaise with the taste of old cooking oil and terrible quality mayo. One appetizer was lost, when I asked to delete it from bill they brought it after 10 min. Rice in rolls is far away from proper one. Not worth the money at all. And plastic sticks to finish the picture of premium place ...

David Lobasso: Amazing experience! The staff is super friendly, the service is incredible, and the food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place if you’re in Mexico City. One of the best culinary experiences I’ve had. You have to get the Octopus Tostadas and the fig tart for dessert, it’s to die for.

Andrew Dabydeen: By far, one of the best meals that I’ve had in CDMX! All the food was phenomenal and the prices were perfect. I’d highly recommend getting the whole fish because it really does fill you up. The fish ceviche was super tasty and paired perfectly with the rest of the dishes! Can’t wait to come back because I’m already missing the food.

Philip Gissen: Am I in Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Milan? This can’t be Mexico City. Contramar attracts the chic and the beautiful with their glasses perched on their head, sweaters draped on shoulders, and knowing hands touching the right shoulders to get the correct table. I tried to match their cool, but come on, I’m a goof. The scene could keep me occupied for hours. This ain’t your father’s Mexico. Staff know their stuff and the extensive menu. We were treated well, Mexico respecting older people in a way that out classes the United States. Everything tasted good, but was not earth shattering. However, I would pay hundreds for that ooh la la scene. It was that entertaining, and as I mentioned, you will find something you like on that gigantic menu. Our Sunday lunch came to $150 American dollars with two glasses of wine. La Dolce Vita in CDMX!

Juriy: A very hyped up place with impossible to get reservations but a very much deserving of a hype! Everything was delicious but I especially recommend tuna tostadas and soft shell crab tacos which come with tortillas that, for some reason, resemble Indian parathas 🤷🏻‍♂️They do work quite well with the stuffing. Bonus points for a delicious fig tart.

Jme RNC: I'm glad tried this awesome restaurant! Their seafood is so fresh. The servers are engaging and know their stuff and converse really well. Looking forward to the next time I am in Mexico City.

Dan Zafrir: A great seafood restaurant in the heart of Mexico City! Service was lovely, helpful and quick, and the food and drinks were all incredible. I’d highly recommend the grilled whole fish dish - their signature - as well as the tuna and avocado tostada and the fried shrimp tacos. One strange thing was that ordering stops at 8pm - rather unusually for Mexico City - so make sure to get through the menu quickly if you’re here for dinner. Drinks keep coming till closing, however, and so do the good times. The atmosphere was buzzy and completely unpretentious, and the large plates are all meant for sharing with friends and family. I would absolutely recommend!

Warren Dantzler: Three years ago today I visited Contramar but I'm still taken with it now. I remember it so fondly, and highly recommend visiting if you're in the neighborhood. Wonderful seafood creations with relaxing outdoor seating overlooking the city scape (and lots of desserts). Hard place to beat for a leisurely afternoon among friends. Can't wait for my next visit and dining experience here when I return!

Matthew Johnson: Contramar has been on my restaurant list for many years, since seeing the documentary about it on Netflix. Everything about our experience there was phenomenal. Top-notch hospitality from the staff, who answered any and all questions of ours. Timely and speedy service bringing out the food courses & a very robust menu of diverse Mexican dishes. We cannot recommend Contramar enough!

Agathe Guerrier: An institution in Mexico City that never disappoints. The service is wonderful and the setting is great - meticulous while unfussy. The food is from the coasts of Mexico and truly great. Not recommended for vegetarians as it's mostly seafood.

Paul A.A: Had an excellent lunch here that lived up to the hype. The soft shell crab was phenomenal and the artichoke soup was heaven. Would definitely be back as there was so much more I wanted to try but was stuffed.

Lesner Castillo: Incredible experience! Highly recommended if you are visiting Mexico City. From the appetizers to the desserts the food didn’t disappoint Definitely get the BBQ chicken appetizer and the onion chutney… the octopus dish wasn’t my favorite, not because it was bad it was more related to me liking it roasted

Veronica P: Restaurant is pretty with a nice ambiance. I ordered an appetizer and an entree for myself and left stuffed. The onion appetizer was very delicious and came with a side of flaky bread, almost like a croissant, that ended up being the perfect accompaniment. The chicken breast entree was just okay. The quality of the chicken seemed as if it could have been better. I recommend trying one of thebother proteins on the menu.

Melanie s: Last time I came to cdmx five years ago, this was my favorite meal. Fast forward to today and once again Maximo was the best dinner I had during a month long stay in the city. Of course it's pricey but the quality was amazing. I loved the space as well and the service was mostly great. We got the duck, artichoke, and ravioli, and we wanted to lick the plate for each dish. Amazing date spot and unforgettable dinner. Frankly much tastier than Pujol.

Jason Teh: Extremely pricey for the quantity of food and level of service provided. Food and atmosphere were high quality and the staff speaks adequate English but in my opinion you can get just as good meals at other restaurants for way less. The food was very slow to come out despite the large kitchen staff. We ordered just 3 dishes and waited more than an hour to get all of them.

Marisa Silber: Such a pretty restaurant. Loved the tuna and fish ceviche apps. The sweet potato was also great. The burger, while maybe not the first thing you think to order in Mexico City is really a can’t miss.

Janice Vargas: All around a phenomenal experience. The BEST and friendliest service. Very welcoming. We had multiple servers and they went above and beyond. Especially SAID! Loved everything and highly recommend. Thank you we will be back! PS we had way more but were living in the moment and forgot to take more photos.

Valinda Jones: Lived up to the hype. Didn't have a wait, but recommend reservations! I loved walking in and seeing the kitchen and aged beef. They were cutting up some gnarly fish I've never seen in my life. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive! Ceviche. Bomb. Bread. Bomb. Caesar Salad (Don't even like salads, but it was bomb). The morel wagyu plate. The best part. French Toast. Topped it off.

Laurynas Mikšys: Great menu selection, with amazing delivery.Minus 1 star goes for imperfect service - my partner's and my food was brought at least a minute apart. At the end, we waited for our bill for more than ten minutes, after asking for it three times.

Ceraun Loggins: Really cute place loved the food. Def order multiple mains as they were a little small but definitely packed on the flavor. A great place to share food and order the entire menu! So many flavors and I really appreciate they list where in Mexico each dish is from

Alonso Abed: Second visit to this restaurant, and must say it’s a very nice experience when visiting Mexico City. It has a wide range of Mexican dishes that can satisfy a curious palate, with the panuchos being a highlight of the meal as well as the guacamole with grasshoppers. The service is always attentive and never rushed the plates out. The place is always full for lunch so highly recommend a reservation.

Nim Baylon: The staff and atmosphere was a 10/10. Other than that, it was okay. Was excited to try this place out based on the reviews. We got guacamole with grillos to start and they even gave us a taster of the mole they’re famous for. The mole was delicious and I was sold on getting it as the main dish. My partner and I got both for the tortilla soup. The presentation and taste was the best part of the entire meal. My partner got the catch of the day which was bland and the mole taste nothing like what I tried in the beginning. I couldn’t get myself to finish it all. Overall, the food other than the tortilla soup wasn’t that memorable.

Tyler Fuller: Gorgeous space, it feels like you're in someone's personal garden in their beautiful home. The service was top notch! I felt as if we were being treated as royalty. The food was no exception. We ordered multiple appetizers and all were fresh and incredibly tasty. We all ordered different mole dishes and each was equally delicious as the next. I would have loved to try their dessert, but we were all so full and completely satisfied. However, don't skip the mezcal margaritas. The mango and tamarindo ones were my favorite!

Alex Zhang: Really not impressed with this placed named “authentic” Mexican food. It’s more a fusion Mexican with very high price point with mediocre food. The space is cute in a little garden surrounded by greens. We shared the taco for appetizer. It’s very basic nothing better than street taco. The main I had a fish dish, it’s basically the fish in Marianna sauce but it was listed as an Mexican traditional food. Very disappointed. Service was ok, our waiter looked tired and never smiled. A strange vibe.

Phil Y: Fantastic restaurant. Great ambiance in a semiopen setting. We arrived on a weekday afternoon without reservation and were able to be seated immediately. Waiters were friendly and knowledgeable about the history and stories behind the dishes. There was a guest chef menu which provided an interesting variety especially in the dessert section. Girlfriend loved the sopa de tortilla which came in a beautifully carved bowl.

Mariana G: Probably one of the best restaurants in Mexico City. Azul is a beautiful restaurant that serves traditional Mexican dishes with breathtaking presentation. This is not your average meal; it’s a spectacular culinary experience. If you’re looking for delicious gourmet food, look no further. Here’s what I tried: appetizer: “panuchos de cochinita pibil” - handmade corn tortillas stuffed with black beans, topped with cochinita pibil (marinated, slow-roasted pork) and pickled red onions; so good! entrée: “pipián rojo vegano” - red sauce made from sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, and guajillo chiles served over gourds; this was the most underwhelming dish for me. entrée: “buñuelos de pato rostizado” - fritters filled with roasted duck, topped with Oaxacan black mole sauce, served over slices of zucchini and blackberries that melt in your mouth; hands down the best dish I tried, I was blown away by the flavors and textures of this dish. drink: “agua de horchata con coco” - a sweet drink made from rice, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and coconut; tasty but very filling. dessert: “mousse de guanabana con zapote” - soursop mousse with sapote sauce; a truly delicious dessert made with two fruits commonly found in Mexican desserts. dessert: “pastel de tres leches con rompope” - tres leches cake in eggnog sauce; not my favorite but a decent dessert.

Madeleine Ball: Was expecting so much more based on the reviews and the price. With SO many options in CDMX, this was, in one word, forgettable. The chicken mole was very dry and the sopa de tortilla (though with a cute presentation) was just okay. The panuchos were very good but, again, over-priced. Margaritas were super sweet and tasted like from a mix. Servers were nice and the setting is beautiful. All in all, especially for the price, choose somewhere else to eat in CDMX.

Estefany Graczyk: Service was amazing. Presentation was everything with the food being very delicious. Recommend their cocktails as well.

Andi: Bakea, a French cuisine restaurant, right in Lomas de Chapultepec won’t disappoint. It’s unpretentious facade hides a carefully crafted menu with a mix of flavors that elevate the most simple salad...who would think that a beet root salad could be exquisite? Portions are reasonable, for a French restaurant. Freshly baked bread and desserts, attentive staff and a good selection of wines complement the experience. Highly recommend their chocolate lava cake, intense in a perfect way for chocolate lovers.

Julio Midence Stoeckel: Excellent service with a complete and varied wine card. Portobello is delicious as a starter and for a main course the Short Rib was enjoyable with a pleasant texture but the Lamb certainly gets the crown, it was exquisite. Definitely a gratifying experience, very recommendable.

Carlos Jacobo: Wonderful Spanish restaurant great service, cozy place, nice wine list

Jerald: Had a reservation but restaurant was closed when we arrived with no notice anywhere. Not a good option if you have trust issues in general

Juan Gonzalez: Restaurant Elite Awesome Menú and friendly staff.Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Juanita Ordóñez: Exquisite french cuisine deliver by amazing team.Ask for: Onion Soup and Islas Flotantes

Sheng Who (Sheng WHO ?): Great selection of bistro style dishes. Ranging from 150 to 300 pesos. Good coffee. Semi formal.

J G: We grabbed some cakes from Cafe Bakea. They were amazing. Light, fluffy and tasty. I would recommend and will be 100% going back

Javier Escobedo: Always reliably top notch. Great wine list. Refined but approachable. One of my favorites.

Maya K: INCREDIBLE Worth every peso. The staffs were so welcoming and professional. They all spoke English and was kind to explain the menu in detail and answer my questions. Very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The interior was gorgeous. We went around 3pm for late brunch and there was a family with a baby and a two other couples. There is also seating outside. Would love to come back for breakfast or a nice romantic dinner again! FYI It is at the first floor of a very nice hotel.

Brian B (Brian Gregory): The roasted chicken was amazing! Don't think twice about ordering it! To be fair everything was amazing. The Old Fashion had a nice twist to it. Super refreshing and not very boozy. Order it. The staff here was also great. I will be back for dessert 🍨 🥧 🍦!!!

Glenn Oppenheim: Service was excellent. Waiters speak English. If that's a plus for you, enjoy. The Black Bass was excellent. I also had a glass of an excellent Mexican Chardonnay. The desert menu is limited and though usually a dessert eater, I did not have any. The atmosphere is casual and refined relaxing.

Alberto Zárate: Amazing service and delicious food in every f*%¥ing dish!

Jose Carlos Alarcon Lopez: Expensive Restaurant. The Chef makes and effort to change menus periodically. small quiet place great to talk. Good Cocktail selection. Great desserts and very friendly staff. Great for birthday celebrations if you want to talk and have meaning conversations. Not a party spot. Take your date there if you want to show off

Alexia Gutierrez: Muy buen servicio y rica comida. La presentación fue muy elegante. Great service and delicious food and wine, we ordered a Malbec, New York Steak and the crab dish starter. Cozy restaurant and attention to detail in the presentation of the food.

Lauren Doll: Amazing meal. Perfectly prepared food. Excellent service. Best kept secret in polanco.

Naush Khiljee: Very artistic restaurant in a great hotel in an awesome party if the city. The waiter came out with two rounds of appetizers on the house (bread with butter and hummus) then the small plate that this place offers are very reasonably priced. We got a large plate as well that had very well cooked beef with bone marrow. The food was delicious!

Gina Pascual: Perfect meal. Actually the best margarita. Delicious food, best service. So glad we found this place

Howard Blum: My wife wanted to come here last year when we were in town. Made it here today. The service, the food and the atmosphere was to our liking.

Sergio Rocha: Food was delicious, but service was a little short. Not necessarily a entirely french menu. I ate lasagna, but very pleased with thw quality of the food that I chose to eat.

CoolEye Colorado: Delicious and a very good meal. We were greeted with an amazing host and the food was wonderful. We opted for a bottle of wine recommendation from our host and then had the Caesar salad and escargot. Bothe perfect and delicious. Would love to go back and have another meal!

Edward Thomas: We had a great meal and the staff was very friendly. When required, they were able converse in English! Thank-you for a wonderful experience!!!

Natalia Kryvitska: The food is really good. We went there for breakfasts while staying in Mexico city. I would definitely recommend this place. I tried delicious omelet with salmon and crepes with bananas. Would recommend those dishes:)The weitress was always friendly and smiling:)

Crista McKinzie: The place was dirty. Our menu was sticky. The food was bland and overpriced. Our server only attended us when flagged down. Our drinks (water) never came out so we ate our meal without them. After flagging down the server again we asked for our drinks. He brought one bottle of water and set it on the table as he quickly walked by. One small plastic bottle for two people. I don't recommend this place.

Ken Garratt: The food was by far the best French cuisine we have had since arriving in Mexico City. The staff was attentive friendly and gave excellent service. The atmosphere was chic and fun. We enjoyed the French background music as we dined on our delicious meal. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone the quality of the food flavors and taste was beyond compare and for the price it was unbelievable.

Claudia Wong: Fabulous food! Everything we ordered was great. Beef bourguignon and the crème brûlée were so tasty. It was fun eating here. Will be back!

Graham Stanley: Delicious French food. Great value for money. Atmospheric place and friendly.

Manav Khandelwal: This was my favorite meal in CDMX! It was truly fantastic: the food, the vibe, and the service. First, the cuisine is an epic combination of Asian and traditional Mexican. We got dumplings, lamb, and the French burger and all 3 were incredible. The portions were quite solid as well. Second, the vibe is great. It's in a fun part of Roma and had a fairly fun clientele. Third, they have this special tour for guests where they take you up to the kitchen and have the chef explain the history of this restaurant. They also make a birria dumpling in front of you and serve it right to you in the kitchen which was one of the tastiest things I've ever had.

Jamie Wibbenmeyer: Wonderful experience. Flaming margarita was spectacular! Tour of the kitchen was an unexpected delight. Very humble staff attentive to every detail!

jeanne opheim: We did the tasting menu - great experience, fun and interesting food combinations

Paul S: What happened to the food at this restaurant? My partner and I were here two years ago and loved it. On the surface, the restaurant is the same - cool ambiance, excellent waitstaff, chef sampling in the kitchen. Ultimately, the food just didn’t deliver this time with creative sauces that didn’t quite work. It’s the type of place where you really want to like it, but you walk away feeling unsatisfied.

Jack Medlin: Had a great experience! The service was great, and the food was delicious. They invited us up to the kitchen and allowed us to try their dumplings, which they didn’t seem to do for everyone. Might’ve been because we were a larger group. Drinks were good as well.

Amelia M: This place was great. Delicious food, friendly staff, good wine. What’s not to like! We didn’t need as many dishes as they suggested to I’d maybe recommend ordering less first. But it was all delicious

Moe Alsumidaie: This place is beyond good. And that’s an understatement. Food is exceptional. Service is above and beyond. Highly recommend.

Janina Vernal Schmidt: Food was very delicious, attention was outstanding. If you like Mexican and Asian food, this is the place to go.

Andres Beran: Excellent food, service and ambiance. A notch above the customary attention to detail and service in Mexico. Very different menu compares to other similar restaurants in Mexico City with an eclectic fusion of Asian and Mexican ingredients and recipes. Definetely a repeat.
