Pujol: Consistently listed as one of the top restaurants in the world, Pujol is Mexican / Latin Fusion cuisine located in the beautiful neighborhood of Polanco. This year it received two Michelin stars! Reservation required.
Contramar: Our favorite seafood restaurant! The two absolute must dishes are the tuna tostadas and the whole grilled fish. Reservation required.
Expendio De Maiz: Only open for lunch (it closes at 5pm), and has only 4 tables. There’s no menu, it’s basically Mexican Omakase. Go on the earlier side to avoid a wait. Cash only.
Rosetta: Another World’s Top 50 restaurant, and this year it received a Michelin star! It's a beautiful restaurant inside a townhouse, with a menu that’s predominantly Italian with a Mexican twist. Across the street from her famous bakery and coffee shop (Panaderia Rosetta).
Masala y Maiz: This restaurant is unbelievable - the menu offers a mix of South Asian, East African and Mexican cuisines and natural wines. It won a ton of awards when it opened in 2018.
Casa Virginia: Located in a beautiful town house, featuring a changing seasonal menu that takes creative advantage of Mexico’s wide-ranging culinary variety. Its family-style servings are great for sharing.
Quintonil: Another World’s Top 50 restaurant, and this year it received two Michelin stars! Delicious, light, mixing Mexican heritage with contemporary cuisine.
Maza Bistrot: Unpretentious Indian food with French inspiration. Delicious!
Choza: Choza is a Thai-influenced restaurant and listening bar. It’s walk-in only and only open on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays.
El Molino Pujol: The churros are some of the best in town and the simple avocado or cheese tacos and quesadillas are exceptional.
Nicos: If you go for breakfast, make sure to get a guava turnover or anything else from the rolling bread+pastry cart.
Panaderia Rosetta: The conchas and guava danish are really delicious. Worth picking something up while you stroll through the Roma neighborhood.
El Cardenal: Go for its egg and black bean breakfasts, or just a quick coffee and pastries before exploring Centro.
Quentin Cafe: A small chain (maybe 3-4) of coffee shops. They bake all their own pastries.
Cafe El Popular: Possibly the best chilaquiles in town.
