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.

Also the enfrijoladas (like enchiladas covered in a black bean purée sauce). Everything was amazing! We also tried many bakery items from the beautiful display and our favorite was the guava and cheese croissant. Have you ever had the refugiado (guava and cheese strudel) from Porto's in Los Angeles? Yeah, it's like that but next level. Great coffee drinks and lattes too. Truly a fantastic spot!

A letdown in CDMX after a lovely experience in Paris…read more I first tried Au Pied de Cochon in Paris and absolutely loved it, so when planning our trip to Mexico City, I was excited to discover they had a location here as well. My husband and I were really looking forward to dining there and creating another special memory in a different country. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to what I had hoped. The food wasn't quite to my liking--I had the foie gras, Chamorro, and a small salmon tasting, and none of the dishes really stood out. The chamorro, in particular, was underwhelming. The location and ambiance didn't quite resonate with me either. It wasn't a terrible experience by any means, but it also wasn't as memorable as I had hoped.

I order a caesar salad and the spaghetti cabonera with chicken along with a cold cervesa. The salad and beer were great. The pasta had something closer to an alfredo sause and a little heavier that. I was expecting, but good flavor. The chicken was just bad. It may have even been spoiled, although I did not get sick. To close, not sure I will go back even though I loved the atmosphere.

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!

We also found surprising the amazing amount of Desserts they had to choose from. From rich sorbets, to decadent chocolate ones to a sky high tower of strawberry and merange that was equal part of crisp and warm berry goodness. Much Gracias, L' Entrecote! We shall absolutely return.

I'm not a fanboy of French food as I think it can be a bit heavy at times, but boy oh boy was this place great! The salmon was perfectly cooked( with a slightly raw interior, served on some of the best roasted vegetables you can imagine. Around it was a delicious sesame ribbon breadstick, absolutely amazing. They also gave us some complementary rose and a shot of lentil consomme, all excellent. The prices were elevated a bit, most diners arrived in jackets, so it if definitely a higher end joint, but it is probably one of the few French themed places I will seek out again. And if you like French fare in the slightest, or even if you are slightly against it, it is definitely worth a try. Oh and since it's a French place I should also mention the bread was served as petite almost crossaint shaped rolls with the balance of a crispy, toasted crust and a perfectly leavened yet glutinous and porous pliable interior. It was so good we saved it for dessert and it was a fantastic finish. Happy eating from John Seeto!

But we heard the buzz about Monsieur Croque in Roma Norte, and we figured we'd test the hype. Our move? We arrived just after opening and walked right to a table, which is the only way to do it here. Don't let the size fool you--it's a small-to-medium spot, but it's a constant revolving door. People flow in, they eat, they flow out, and the line outside starts forming fast. Clearly, this place is the anchor for brunch in the neighborhood. We went with a holy trinity of items, and every one of them was operating on a level I wasn't ready for. - The Croissant'wich: The pastry was buttery and held its structure, and the filling wasn't just stuffed in--it was seriously seasoned. It was savory, rich, and exactly what you want from a brunch sandwich. - The Avocado Toast: I've had more than enough bland avo toast to last a lifetime. This one is different. The bread was robust, the toppings were generous, and the overall flavor profile was precise. They know how to use salt and pepper (and whatever else they're sprinkling on there) without overdoing it. - The French Toast: It was fluffy, tender, and achieved that rare balance where it was sweet without being syrupy or heavy (they actually use a berry compote rather than syrup). It's the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes for a second. If you're in Roma Norte and need a solid breakfast/brunch that's beyond the usual fare, hit up Monsieur Croque. Go early, grab a coffee, and get ready for a serious meal. The vibe is chill, the service is tight, and the food is pretty tasty. 4/5 stars. If you see me standing in that line next time, you know it's worth the wait.
