Best Fine Dining in Mexico

"Garum, from Vicente Torres (Top Millesime Chef of  2011), specializes in Mediterranean food made with local products that make for a shifting, albeit always innovative menu. In an interview with the chef, he told us about how Garum came up as “an opportunity to put together a project with a lot of freedom in it."

"Yet another great place to enjoy Mediterranean delicious and fresh dishes is Garum. It is located in the heart of Polanco in Mexico City, where patrons can look out for modern and creative takeaways. Garum's culinary journey is a burst of flavours, textures, and colours."

"This Vicente Torres – of Oli, Mercado Roma fame – Mediterranean masterpiece is open. Named after the legendary Roman fish sauce, it’s nothing short of..."

"Meroma is one of Mexico City’s best new restaurants, where you can eat everything from heirloom tomatoes with grilled avocado and scallop tiradito to agnolotti in sage butter and arroz negro with seafood. There’s a minimalist bar room on the ground floor, which feels right for a casual, cool meal, a more secluded dining room on the second floor ideal for dates, and a covered terrace - which is one of the best spots for a group dinner in Mexico City. When you add in the long cocktail menu and wine list, you have a restaurant where literally anyone would be happy."

"Lovers of hip and trendy folks worldwide, this is your spot in Mexico City!. Meroma is a trendy eatery in the heart of Colonia Roma Norte, set up by chefs Mercedes Bernal and Rodney Cusic, together with Gina Casar back in 2016. Both graduates of the International Culinary Centre in New York City, Mercedes and Rodney forged their path in the restaurant world at some of the best-known NYC establishments, before coming back to Mexico City and setting up their own business."

"Since opening in 2017, Meroma has been a favorite of Mexico City diners. The Roma Norte restaurant boasts a serious pantry filled with ingredients from all over Mexico, pulling from regions as far away as Baja California. The menu follows the seasons, featuring dishes like perfectly cooked duck breast, or charred quail with green beans and roasted onions."

"Named for the old lady who lived above her gourmet shop, Delirio, this Colonia Roma restaurant was developed by chef Mónica Patiño (she runs it alongside her daughter, Micaela Miguel). The high-ceilinged house makes for a trendy-yet-cozy setting, perfect for sharing ratatouille, steak and homemade foie gras au torchon with your loved one."

"Upstairs from her flagship Delirio boutique (also worth a duck-in), a beautiful town house is home to chef Mónica Patiño’s Casa Virginia, featuring a changing seasonal menu that takes creative advantage of Mexico’s wide-ranging culinary variety...."

"Israel Montero, a young chef from Venezuela came of age in France in the legendary kitchens of Alain Ducasse and Paul Bocuse. Alfredo Chávez, a chef from Michoacan, also trained with Bocuse, plus Guy Savoy in Paris and Alfred Portale in New York at Gotham Bar & Grill. The two chefs opened a restaurant together several years ago called Kaah Siis, which took Mexican flavors and applied them to their classical French training."

"Chef Arturo Fernández offers a seasonally-changing menu that may include dishes like roasted tomato soup with Cotija cheese or duck carnitas ravioli, paired with local beers (Tempus, Minerva), single malts and mezcals. There are two wooden, plant-filled terraces: one outdoors, and another one indoors, surrounded by the restaurant’s wine cellar."

"Blanco Colima is a huge historic building in Roma Norte that houses two restaurants, a bar and a patio, and one of the top places to eat in the capital. As you might gather from the upscale vibe, this is not the most budget-friendly location in the world; however, it is worth the splurge as it offers not only rich cuisine but also a platform for art and music. Both fine-dining restaurants Lázaro, a place known for its highly creative dishes, and Belafonte, Mexican cuisine mixed with Japanese style and European techniques."

"A new vision of Mexican cuisine, a truly unexpected sensory journey created by breaking traditions. Unique fermented flavors and monochromatic dishes that create a captivating dining experience."

"Inside this grandiose colonial palace you'll see Diego Rivera murals (painted between 1929 and 1951) that depict Mexican civilization from the arrival of Quetzalcóatl (the Aztec plumed serpent god) to the post-revolutionary period. The nine murals covering the north and east walls of the first level above the patio chronicle indigenous life before the Spanish conquest. "

"Plaza de la Constitución S/N, Centro, Cuauhtémoc, 06066 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico. Though his reputation is now arguably overshadowed by that of his former wife, painter and muralist Diego Rivera—commissioned by Mexico’s postrevolutionary governments starting in the late 1920s to adorn several national monuments in..."
