The place has mainly outside seating, and we were fortunately able to get a table without waiting. I ordered a cafe americano and water, while the girlfriend ordered some juice. After perusing the menu, I opted for enchiladas in red sauce. The girlfriend got scrambled eggs. The enchiladas came in a small bowl, dipped in red sauce, with avocado, bacon, and topped with salsa and sour cream. The enchiladas were not as tasty as I hoped, they were rather bland. The coffee was ok, but not too potent. The ambiance is relaxed. Mainly Polanco locals come here, no bad vibes. The customer service was ok. They just need to add more taste to their food, and they will do better.

I have been to the one in Paris several times, so I was excited to see one in Mexico City and…read morewanted to check it out. A group of us went one evening, I secured a table, and to be honest, I lowered my expectaitons. Boy, I was wrong- it was just as good as the original in Paris! We arrived and we greeted by a happy host, brought to our table. The restaurant made me feel like we were in Paris, the same decor and the staff in the same style outfits. We sat and ordered waters and a wine list. We ordered a bottle of wine and agreed to have the Steak Frites, of course. They brought the wine which was delectable, and then the food came- first a salad, and then the steak, the fries, the gravy! SO good, so perfect, for a couple of hours we were tranported from Mexico City to Paris, everything perfect. If you want a taste of Paris while in CDMX, this is a great choice!

Overall 3.5-3.75…read more Food: really loved that you only had 1 thing to order. The salad was great and had a very delicious peanut vinaigrette. The steak and frites were good, cooked to exactly as requested. The sauce was delicious. I loved that the only option for the dipping sauce was mustard. The desserts were 10/10. Service: great, loved the house wine! Ambiance: lowkey, fun. Overall gave a 3 because while very good, there's so many options in Mexico City I don't think this wowed us enough.

I had the privilege to live in the heart of Paris for nearly a year, and during that time I ate at…read more"Au Pied de Cochon" ("the foot of the pig") as often as I could afford it. It is a beautiful old restaurant which looks far more elegant and stuffy than it really is. "Au Pied de Cochon" offers a traditional old style French Restaurant Menu, most famous for serving the 19th century favorite of a crispy meaty deep fried Pigs Foot (or Trotter as it's called in Britain). I had this dish only once, and it was delicious (although a bit dryer than a braised pig's foot in gravy, which I prefer). But during each visit here I tried to order something new and different. Once when I was taken out here we ordered the 'Grand Seafood Tower', which consisted of nearly an 'All-Raw' 3 story high platter of fresh seafood. There were Oysters, Clams, chilled steamed Mussels & Shrimp, Sea-Snails, small steamed Periwinkle Snails, and both a cold cooked Crab and a half of a chilled cooked North Atlantic Lobster. On another occasion I ordered the large Alsacian Choucroute for two (it is basically a mountain of sauerkraut piled high with sausages, cured meats, and liver dumplings): YUM! And another time I had blood-rare steak (blue) coated in green peppercorn sauce. I had other delicious meals here as well, but these three really stood out. The best thing about eating here was just being here. The service was impeccable, the decor was like stepping back in time, and all of the meals I ordered came to the table slowly as a multi-course feast, with Escargot to start, followed by Pate or a rich Bisques, then the mains - and finally a cheese plate followed by desert & coffee. Plus there was alcohol served constantly, from Pernod or Campari as my aperitif, followed by many bottles of wine, and ending with a cognac or a sweet liqueur. So as you can imagine, I either had to be taken here by someone else, or I had to save up for two months to come here. But EVERY PENNY SPENT and EVERY CALORIE CONSUMED was Well Worth It.

We sat at a sidewalk table, and people watched (a little) and enjoyed their outstanding wine selection. Got a bottle of Unico red - lovely start to the meal. The Iberico Ham plate reminded us of Spain. Sliced right then and there. Their sea bass was delicious and beautifully plated. They had some fish tacos - but they were delicious and elevated. For dessert, we got the Tart Tatin - with ice cream and walnuts - light, perfect end to a great meal.

Back in March, my coworkers and I had heard enough good things about Lardo that we wanted to see…read morewhat the hype was about for ourselves. We knew immediately we weren't the only ones with that idea. The place was busy, with a line of people putting their names down for a table. It definitely has that destination-restaurant energy. Once we were seated, we ordered several things to share. We tried a mix of fried bites, including croquetas, shrimp, and stuffed squash blossoms. The croquetas were crisp and rich, and the squash blossoms were one of the more interesting things on the table. We also ordered pizza. The crust had a nice char and chew, and the toppings were generous. I enjoyed it, although a couple of my coworkers were a little less enthusiastic. For me, the smaller plates stood out more. The room was lively, and the mix of vintage plates, copper-toned tables, and simple details gave the space a lot of personality. I also liked how naturally the menu lent itself to passing plates around and trying a little of everything. I'm glad we checked it out, especially because Lardo comes up often when people talk about eating in Mexico City. I'd happily come back and explore more of the smaller plates.

One of my best meals in the city. Many thanks to talented young chef Diego Nino and Cesar Vazquez…read more Highly recommended by a local friend as his favorite restaurant in Mexico City, Nexo Wine Bitrot offers great wine selection (overseas and Mexican), very good modern cuisine (infused with Japanese elements, local ingredients, French elements), classy dining ambiance (high wooden tables, open kitchen, and big window walls), and very good service (both chefs came out to check on me and gave me a complimentary dessert). Reservation is relatively easy to make compared to other good fine dining restaurants in the city. Without hesitation, I choose the 5 course tasting menu (~770 peso). Complimentary fried chips with Mexican dipping sauce (savory sauce made with non-spicy chili): crispy chips and savory aromatic sauce. Then comes the first dish: crudo of the day, avocado with umeboshi, yuzukosho and garlic oil. Fresh and sweet fish, creamy avocado sauce and a refreshing note from umeboshi and yuzukosho, and lastly ends with aromatic note of garlic. Well done! Second dish is squid alla carbnonara. Excellent dish! Again fresh and sweet squid, nicely cooked so that the meat is tender. Rich bacon and creamy cheese adding the thickness in flavor and texture, and lastly a nice kick from black pepper. Artichoke heart with squash sauce and green mojo. Excellent. Very tender, meaty, and sweet artichoke with sweet squash sauce, and refreshing green mojo. Main dish: rib eye, truffled potato purée, and bok choy. excellent. The rib eye literally melts in my mouth! The truffled potato puree is very nicely done. Overall love the well balanced profile and the amzing fatty rib eye. Desert-- dry strawberry and cereals on top of almond ice cream (?) not overwhelmingly sweet. love the fine and creamy texture of the ice cream. And the wonderful meal didn't end! Chef came out to greet me and gave me a complimentary dessert--last comes the best--passion fruit tart decorated with beautiful flowers. Very very delicious. Not overly sweet or sour, it captures the refreshing taste of passionfruit. This dish, with bright colors, passionate flavor, and beautiful presentation, is a perfect one to end my day after visiting Frida's museum. Overall, highly recommend!
