The patio was covered with so many greenery and provided a lot of shades. We ordered a few items to share: - Toasted bread, chicken liver, and black truffle: a good appetizer to start off with. The chicken pate was good, a bit different from what I'm used to. - Pappardelle with pork ragu: this was super good. Love the pasta texture on this. Pork ragu sauce was also perfect. - Robalo ceviche, watermelon, Serrano pepper: a refreshing ceviche to balance out the meal. the watermelon added a bit of sweetness. - Pizza capocollo, radicchio, straquinella cheese: a good size pizza to share. I like thin crust. - Arugula, roasted tomatoes, Parmesan salad: fresh arugula that went perfectly with the roasted tomatoes. Every meal needs a good salad. - Ricotta stuffed zucchini blossoms: this was my favorite dish we tried. Such a unique combo of flavors. The ricotta cheese just melted when you bite into the zuchinni blossoms. It also had a light crispy texture. - Hummus and pita bread: another good choice for appetizer. The hummus was solid. The service was excellent. Everyone was attentive and our food didn't take long to come out. Would highly recommend to add this place to your list. This is also a great area to check out, plenty of things to do in La Condesa.

Maybe Lardo is better for breakfast, but we didn't feel it was fully worth the hype for lunch. We'd…read moremade a reservation in advance for Saturday at 2PM. The interior was brightly lit with a large beautiful bar, and had the vibe of a French cafe. We were brought out some complimentary (pita-like) bread, which was nice, but would have been better with something like olive oil to dip it in. My friend and I ordered 3 items to share - the Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms, Eggplant Parmesan, and Barbacoa. Portions were on the smaller side, but this was the perfect food quantity for us. The Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms were fine but a little bland. I liked the Eggplant Parmesan and Barbacoa, but neither really blew my mind. For everything I'd heard about Lardo, I felt like our experience was good but not amazing. Would check it out for breakfast to compare!

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.

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.

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'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!

The rigatoni was surprisingly light, just right for a sunny patio start. My friends had margaritas and loved them. We weren't drinking but my mocktail was beautifully made and the tea was excellent.

We loved the complimentary artichoke and Carajillo - coffee was with vanilla ice cream, a cinnamon pirouette type thing shaken with sugar, cinnamon and Licor 43. Delicious. No need for desert here. It's an intentionally swanky place so dress in your skintight black clothes.
