rst night in Mexico City and we ate @botanicomx This restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. It is having dinner in a garden. The plants are mature and are taller than the roof. I could not get a good photo, so my photos do not do this place justice. Service was excellent. They were prompt and kind but not over-the-top pushy. Food we had some amazing bites. Cauliflower dishes have become some of our favorites, and this one was just excellent. The whipped pine nut sauce made the dish. The fish crudo and the scallop tostada were excellent. We had the short rib sandwich as a main and it was an over indulgent beef and cheese sandwich with just a little pickle to break up the richness. The calamari dish was perfectly cooked and I love the way that it was tossed in the caramel sauce, however, it was way too acidic. read more

This restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. I don't know where all of the behest I've reviews are coming from because we enjoyed everything we got. I appreciate that the servers asked if anyone had allergies and were kind to point out which dishes have nuts in them so I could avoid them. Excellent service ensuring your costumers are safe. The stand out was the dessert. The olive green brule and Brie cheese cake ARE amazing and something I think about all of the time. A bit funky, but amazing. You need to try them! read more

Botánico is on many lists for must-try in CDMX. The setting is stunning with a really gorgeous garden, but the food was overpriced. This was our most expensive meal in CDMX and we didn't even order as much as we did elsewhere. There is a limited cocktail menu, they have a great wine list though. Our cocktails were pretty average so I would stick to wine if I were to visit again. Personal favorites were the short rib and fennel salad. Overall this was a fun spot but not "wow" enough to justify our high bill. read more

Botánico was an absolute delight. One of my favorite restaurants in CDMX so far for a multitude of reasons ranging from ambience, attentive service, and of course the fresh seasonal ingredients that shine in each of the unique combinations on their menu I hit the point in vacation where I was starting to miss having a variety of fresh F/V in the diet and Botánico offered a fun menu of salads, cold/hot starters and entrees that fit the bill nicely. Each dish was exceptionally well crafted. Different textures and flavor combinations were layered in a very nuanced way that never left you questioning what it is the chef was trying to highlight or question what it is you were tasting Portions were perfect for the solo diner or would recommend order an amalgam of starters to share family style for a group! Will definitely be back one more time before the end of this trip read more

Beautiful ambiance, food was either decently good or a huge miss. We ordered the Manguito cocktail, the fried calamari with "oriental" sauce, a hamburger, and risotto. Manguito (3/5): what could've been an excellent cocktail (cardamom, mango, and passion fruit and whiskey) ended up being an excellent soda as we could not taste the whiskey whatsoever. I tried telling myself that maybe it was just diluted - but whiskey has a strong flavor so I'm convinced that the bartender forgot to add liquor at all. Fried calamari (1/5): a truly terrible dish - the "Oriental" sauce, as it turned out, was a bad version of a sweet and sour sauce that was so overly acidic and overwhelming one couldn't tell that it was calamari. I could barely finish the dish until I removed the breading and just ate the squid underneath. Risotto (4/5): the bar was already low, so this was a pleasant surprise. It was really creamy, topped with sliced jalapeño and cucumbers. Hamburger (4/5): Perfectly cooked burger with bacon, two kinds of cheese, and a pickle. The dairy was a bit much but overall good. Sourdough (5/5): hate to say this, but might've been the best thing we ate. The bread came out warm, and the cheese spread was lightly salted. Fire read more

This place is incredible -- you need to try it. Firstly, the cocktails are incredible. I started with a Negroni (my way to gauge how well the bartender can balance flavors in a very traditional drink). It was perfectly balanced and passed my test. Their craft cocktail menu is worth a look. The food was phenomenal. Favorites were the tuna tostada and the agnolotti with morels. We tried some other dishes which were also very good. The garden ambiance, surrounded by their cacti, really adds to the charm. We went for a 2pm lunch, but I'm also told that this place can get pretty wild on weekend evenings. read more

In A Nutshell: -Botanico is a really lovely upscale place to grab lunch in Condesa. -I love the outdoor garden seating w/ the 100 year old cacti towering above the courtyard along w/ the small pond. -The service here is very good. -The food is all top-notch in regards to both taste & presentation. -I highly recommend ordering the Heirloom Tomato Salad, Fish Tiradito & the Agnolotti Pasta. -Each one of those dishes are delicious, you won't want to waste a drop. Overall, I will definitely come back to eat here the next time I visit CDMX! read more

Please ignore the negative reviews!!! The setting of this garden restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Service was superb. Amazing wine list and delicious food. For those reviewers who thought it was over induced, the most expensive entree was $25 Anyway my favorite meal in Mexico was this place's read more

Botanico is a wonderful restaurant. We were so happy with our meal that we returned for another meal days later. I have to say that I loved everything we ordered and we ordered quite a bit. The atmosphere is equally as wonderful as the food. I look forward to eating here anytime I visit Mexico City. read more

I'm surprised there isn't more on here for this place besides the one star review. And since that reviewer didn't even eat here I feel the need to offer some redemption. First off - very friendly and attentive staff. Some English to balance our basic Spanish. The special cocktails are worth asking about if you are curious but intimidated by the exotic ingredient. The menu is very approachable with some clever local variations on familiar dishes. I would order the tuna tostadas every day if I could. The garden is a wonderful setting in which to enjoy it all as well. Fantastic. Staff ***** Ambiance ***** Drinks ***** Food ***** Music ***** read more

Gorgeous, trendy restaurant in the Condesa neighborhood. Beautiful ambiance. Pricey, but delicious. Once the private home of a famous Mexican film director, the space has been transformed into one of the trendiest spots in Mexico City. In the center of the restaurant, there is a lush courtyard with a massive cactus, several stories tall. We sat in a secluded upstairs nook. I tried the hummus with flatbread, which was so addicting. It's served with crispy chickpeas and it might be the best hummus I've ever tasted. I also tried the red snapper, served with a creamy beurre blanc sauce, peas, and green salad. It seemed overpriced for the small portion we received, but it tasted amazing. read more

Hands down the coolest interior of a restaurant ever (if you can even call it an interior). We went to Pujol the next day and I enjoyed the food and the vibe here much more, the risotto was incredible but I cant find anything about it online unfortunetly. If anyone from Botanico reads this, please tell me what was in that. Good service too. read more

This place is a hidden gem and it checked all the boxes for me. I didn't read the reviews on this place till we left and I'm honestly shocked at all the negative comments. I'm just going to chalk it up to them being a newer spot. The ambiance is so special, it's giving hidden garden while still maintaining the native foliage of Mexico. The service was top notch the only thing we found funny was the waiter had broken English (which is expected and my fiancé is fluent in Spanish) and whenever we spoke to our server we would speak Spanish and he would only respond in English. We then transferred over to English and he couldn't understand us. Not a big deal we just thought it was a bit funny. The food was spectacular, we went a little crazy here and orders a bunch of items. All of the food was perfect and we honestly wish we had made another reservation for a second night. We will absolutely be back to try more items and reorder some of our favorites. read more

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food was incredible. Roberto was honestly the best server I have ever had. He let me practice my Spanish and gave us a tour of the restaurant after we ate. The food was reasonably priced. Five stars! Gracias, Roberto! read more

I can't speak to the food because we never got to eat here. We had a reservation. Despite that, they sat our party of five at a small four-top table. They were unwilling to seat us at a larger table and after some back and forth we left. At least my nephew got the $65 American he had to deposit for the reservation. We found a wonderful restaurant a block from there, El Zorzal. Go there instead. read more

Made a reservation weeks in advance, we arrived and the table was not ready, which would be fine except when it was ready it was clearly an impromptu table set in a corner that didn't even have two chairs they suggested we sit together on the booth side when every other tiny table close by had chairs on both sides. When I asked for a chair they brought me an end table to sit on and proceeded to hover over us. Tables were so small when the people next to us got their food their silverware was falling off the table since there simply wasn't enough room. I can't recommend this place, save your money and go somewhere else read more

I don't write many reviews... But after this experience I have to. My new wife, sister and friend all went out for a wonderful night on the town, starting with an early dinner at Botanico. We heard it was one of the best resto's in CDX. The ambiance was nice and there seemed to be allot of waiters on staff, which you would think would mean great service. We were wrong, the waiters seemed to be just hanging out only providing drink menus for 15-20 mins before asking if we'd like to see the food menu. Once we received the food menu, we ordered the shrimp and several other appetizers to share. Upon receiving the apps we began to eat. The flavors on each dish were a delight on the palette. All was well, up until I bit into a very large PEBBLE!! in the shrimp appetizer!?!?! A peso sized rock, in the shrimp.. After nearly chipping my tooth and gagging on the rock, I hailed one of the 15 servers on staff. To my disbelief they were all huddle around together laughing!?! Once the waitresses came to our table, smiling and saying this has never happened before. I couldn't believe it. My wife and I had just traveled 3,000 miles by car around some of the most remote towns in central Mexico and received the worse service of our trip at Botanico...Incredible... They attempted to make things right by covering some of our drinks and appetizers and hovering over us while eating our meals to make sure we got great service at the end, but it was too little too late. It's unfortunate because the food was good. read more
