    Vine a este lugar a cenar con una amiga. La ensalada Amsterdam fue deliciosa y tenía queso de cabra, cacahuetes garapiñados y una vinagreta. De postre pedí un pastelito cubierto de mazapán de almendra que fue excelente. El servicio estuvo más o menos. Por ejemplo, a la hora de darnos el menú solo nos dieron el menú de comida pero no nos dieron el menú de las bebidas y tuvimos que preguntar por él. Asimismo, al final de la comida no nos ofrecieron los postres y nosotros tuvimos que decirle al mesero. Durante la comida nunca nadie se acercó a ver si necesitábamos alguna cosa. Fue algo difícil conseguir estacionamiento.

    We did not stay and eat. This review is just about their *pan dulce*. They have AMAZING bread, it is always so fluffy and sweet. I have been eating the conchas here for so long, and they have always been one of the best. They also have a big breakfast/lunch menu but this is not ny favorite place to sit down and eat.

    Really cute place. Nice seating outdoors and tasty food. Kind of expensive and possibly touristy but a good meal for many people! The food wa flavorful and fresh and got the job done.

    I have to share the same 3 star review with the Other reviews of past. Door greeters were good hustlers at selling the menu and pulled us in. Best part of the meal, Waiters and Runners were VERY Polite & Professional. It was busy and little to no service. Espresso Coffee drinks (like said in other reviews) is Very Watered Down. We asked to remake on Two occasions. Food was very Normal. But the Costs was as equal to a Good Dinner in the same colonia. Can't say I'd return to share a meal with friends, maybe a Tea & Pastry for a quick work meeting or to quickly meet a stranger. Overall staff was polite and courteous and food not the fault of waiters. And the costs I was surprised to be as much, you are paying for the Pretty Space not fine food or good coffee .

    Choose the huevos rancheros or divorciados... avoid the salmon omelet. It's edible, but only because it's flavorless.

    The best thing about this place is the service and the orange juice. My salmon omelet was utterly uninspired, dry, burnt, unseasoned... and served with nothing but maybe three tablespoons of some eggplant onion stir-fry. The coffee was watery.

    Beautiful cafe and excellent go to spot at any time a day! Their menu has a great variety and their coffee and pastries are delicious!

    The best conchas in all Mexico City!

    The best conchas in all Mexico City. And that's quite a statement given that the competition is fierce. Somehow they manage to make them crunchy on the outside yet chewy on the inside. The sugar coating is rich and buttery. The vanilla conchas are the favorite choice but the chocolate ones are also good. In spite of the quality of the conchas, I am always torn apart because the almond croissant is also superb. In contrast with the bakery, the food is not that great. It's good, but not great. The coffee, especially, could be higher quality to go along to the pastries. I do recommend the Lebanese scrambled eggs (with shanklish).

    La Capital was a great dinner stop--just wish we'd had more time to fully enjoy it. We popped in on…read morea bit of a time crunch on our way to a Lucha Libre show, so we had to skip several tempting dishes marked on the menu as taking longer to prepare. That said, I really appreciated how clearly those items were labeled--it set expectations upfront and made ordering easier given our schedule. The space itself is beautiful with an open, airy ambience that immediately sets the tone. We were started off with complimentary crispy tortillas served with both red and green salsas--a simple but very welcome touch. For food, my kids ordered the lime soup and the penne al chipotle, both of which they really enjoyed. My husband and I went for the tortas: he chose the Bacalao a la Veracruzana and I had the Cangrejo de Concha Suave. Both were delicious, with a unique twist on the classic flavors. My husband also had a cocktail that he loved. Overall, a solid experience with great food and atmosphere. This is definitely a place I'd return to when I can slow down and savor it properly.

    So nice we came twice on a short 5 day trip just so we could try the rest of what we didn't order…read morethe first time! The first time we came in shortly before closing but they were more than accommodating and sat us down right away. This is a fine dining experience and it is really cool to be able to watch the kitchen and chef at work from your table. I can highly recommend the Guac- love the little touch of pomegranate and the variety of chips to dip, the chicken lime soup was a hit with our 1.5 year old, the beet salad was delicious and the sea bass cooked to perfection. For mothers day I treated myself to a house margarita and it was delish. We also tried not one but two desserts this time, the chocolate cake with ice cream and the soursop jelly, both divine! I was excited having just learned about the soursop fruit, and how many nutritional benefits there are- make sure you give it a try if you're into pudding desserts. The next time we tried some of the same things and some new things- steak, roasted chicken, cauliflower with mole sauce (the mole sauce here was perfection) mushroom soup and the house lemonade. All fantastic, and the presentation is wonderful. We ended the evening with the hot chocolate cake which was the perfect balance of chocolate paired with ice cream- note that this dessert does take some time to prepare fresh. Planning to come back here if I am ever in the area again!

We then kicked things off with the arancini, which set the tone right away--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. For mains, we shared a spread and honestly couldn't pick a favorite: the Octopus Tacos were tender and packed with flavor, the Rabbit Tacos were unique and delicious, and the roasted seasonal vegetables "al mojo de ajo" were simple but so satisfying. The marinated pan-fried salmon and fresh trout were both beautifully cooked and thoughtfully seasoned. Every dish felt intentional, beautifully presented and well executed. But the real showstoppers were the desserts. The fresh goat cheesecake with orange, grapefruit, and lemon was bright and perfectly balanced, and the whisky chocolate crème brûlée was rich, smooth, and unforgettable. Desserts truly knocked it out of the park. Bonus points for the cocktails--my hubby was a huge fan. Great food, great drinks, excellent service and relaxed ambiance made for a wonderful overall experience. Highly recommend adding Temporal to your Mexico City dining list.

Expect to pay high prices, but honestly... the drinks were so good! I also like the layout of this place. We were say on the second floor looking out a window into the street and it was perfect! Would absolutely recommend this place!

Edgar was our waiter and he was super awesome! Food- one of my favorite meals while in Mexico City! We didn't order much because we were full from a meal before but ordered what we could. What we got: MUST HAVE AGAIN: 1. If you like octopus: Tacos de carnitas de pulpo (fried octopus carnitas). This didn't seem fried but oh my gosh it was SO tender and fresh and flavorful! Our whole table LOVED this. Highly recommend. 2. Scallop tostadas!! SO fresh/refreshing! 3. Fig Tart- It was so good! Tasted kind of like a fig cheesecake. We heard it was the most popular desert and got lucky because our waiter Edgar saved it for us!! Thank you so much Edgar! Tasty but would go for something else next time: 1. Tacos de esmedregal al pastor: Al pastor fish, onions, cilantro, pineapple I didn't get the soft shell crab taco but heard it was delicious so thought I'd toss that here!

Tuna croquette 7.5/10 - kinda dry Contramar fish 7/10 - I wanted to like it but it was also not well salted and it was dry.
