Top Best French Restaurants in Mexico

"This excellent 24/7 French restaurant is located in the Hotel Presidente Inter-Continental. If you want an authentic plat du jour of steak frites or the signature dish of pied de cochon – pig’s feet, you’re in the right place!. They also serve a great collection of seafood dishes as well as an extensive wine list."

"This beautiful restaurant is located in the Presidente InterContinental Hotel. The interior of the restaurant gives a unique feeling of an old world; the kind where you can imagine the mafia sitting for a meeting. It serves all international cuisines but we recommend trying the French onion soup for starters."

"Campos Elíseos 218, Col.Polanco, 11550, Ciudad de México. Average priceMX$1,000"

"Once you’ve gotten your fill of natural wine and snacks at Loup Bar, head directly upstairs to Maison Artemisia, a cocktail spot in an old Victorian parlor room. There are strong and delicious drinks, live jazz several nights a week, and a young crowd that’s ready to mingle. If you like your drinks spicy, the mezcal and ancho reyes-filled Loba Poblana is one of our favorite cocktails in the city, but the knowledgeable bartenders will happily make any drink tailored to your preferences."

"This dark cocktail lounge recalls a French New Orleans bordello with velvet couches, candles, and the slow drip of asisnthe onto a sugar cube. The bartenders here are skilled and full of knowledge. They wax poetic on vermouths (some of which they make in house), do traditional absinthe service, and have a nice list of signature cocktails."

"Right above Loup Bar you’ll find Maison Artemisia, a cocktail bar in an old Victorian parlor room serving some really great drinks."

"In the morning you’ll find madeleines and financiers fresh out of the oven. The first time I visited, I ate the best-ever eggs Benedict, crowned with coral-colored gravlax. At lunch, dishes range from charcuterie boards to lush baba ganoush served with excellent bread and butter."

"A small french bistro-style place located at Colonia Roma (yes, where the famous Oscars’ awarded movie took place), which opens early in the day if you want a nice and sophisticated breakfast to share. Also, don't miss the cheese plate, sausages and the home-made marmalade."

"This small restaurant is inspired by Parisian cafés and is open from breakfast to dinner. The menu consists of few options but all are exquisite, especially considering that the ingredients are carefully selected from local producers. The wine list is well worth a look."

"Tucked into a Porfiria-era mansion in Mexico City’s up-and-coming Colonia Juarez, Havre 77 is Chef Eduardo García’s attempt at a French Bistro in Mexico. As with his other projects, the chef’s menu reflects a concern with seasonality, sustainability and unique combinations of flavors to delight your palate. García also incorporates lots of fresh seafood into Havre’s menu and about once a month offers a special set dinner with the chef, which will definitely impress a date."

"Inside a once derelict mansion, Havre 77’s high ceilings, original cornices and stained-glass windows are offset with smooth concrete walls, modern light features and a zinc-topped bar. French-café style tables give a Parisian feel to the space that would likely have been home to the early 1900s bourgeoisie. Take a closer look at Havre 77."

"Chef Eduardo García (of Lalo and Máximo Bistrot fame) applies his exquisite taste to a more traditionally French bill of fare at Havre 77, a beautiful dining room on what may be the city’s hippest half-block. Just a smattering..."

"4 de 5 estrellas Restaurantes Zona Metropolitana. Chefs Nasheli Martínez and Abel Hernández are partners both in life and in the concept behind Eloise, bringing a european menu to mexican dining tables that also leans towards french borders. Among the entrees, a couple of favorites are the truffled asparagus with parmesan cheese, a fresh tuna tartare with mango and the foie gras créme brûlée, a delicacy that has slowly acquired some fame."

"Eloise is a divine French restaurant, offering both traditional and novel new dishes to satisfy every diner, in a beautifully decorated, neoclassical- inspired interior. Each dish, from the truffle topped huevos rotos to the risotto with escargot, draws from and is influenced by classic French dishes and ingredients, yet simultaneously breaks away from the traditional to serve up something truly original. Reservations are a must for this small but always busy restaurant in Colonia San Ángel."

"Enjoy excellent modern and classical French cuisine along with an award winning wine selection from around the world. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: Formal. International, 0.8 MILES"

"Dine in style in this chic restaurant in the upscale Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City, or take advantage of the Central Brasserie terrace. Best for the French food novice, this pared down, simple menu only offers a small selection of classic French-inspired dishes with minor Mexican adjustments, of which the lobster ravioli is a particular favorite. If you fancy relaxing with a drink, the red wine selection is also delightful and can be enjoyed in front of the fire to round off an evening of delicious dining."

"Monsieur Croque is our favourite place to drink coffee in Condesa. The cafe itself serves up grilled cheese sandwiches on fancy bread, whilst Ficelle Boulangerie Patisserie, the bakery next door (owned by the same people), serves a tasty almond croissant amongst other baked sweet treats."

"Tamaulipas 39, Colonia Condesa, 06140 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico. This is probably the most restauranty of the coffee shops in Condesa on this list. It has a full menu and alcohol along with the coffee, so if you want something filling to eat I recommend Monsieur Croque."

"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...."

"Mexico City is no stranger to theatrical speakeasies and our favorite is Jules Basement. This reservation-required bar is, in fact, in a basement, but one that can only be accessed through the door of a refrigerator in the back of a neighboring taco shop. Once you take a seat at the bar and start drinking the cocktails, you’ll realize the effort was worth it."

"Located in the south side of Mexico City, just by Jardines del Pedregal, Hacienda Peña Pobre offers its guests free WiFi access on site, as well as gym and laundry. Continental breakfast is offered. Each suite features a unique fusion between modern design and a vintage decor along with flat-screen TV, satellite channels and toiletries to make you feel at home."

"No lo sabemos con certeza, pero lo que sí podemos afirmar es que es una parada obligatoria entre los expertos. Hay más de 35 opciones de tratamientos, masajes y faciales. Tiene un circuito hidrotermal con sauna, jacuzzi, cama de burbujas y vapor con aromaterapia."

"Quien diría que a unos pasos del WTC —en medio del ajetreo de godín — se esconde un pequeño spa que es perfecto para desconectarte de todos tus pendientes y preocupaciones. Entre sus tratamientos más pedidos está el anticelulítico manual, que garantiza una piel más lisa; el reductivo colombiano que reduce el tejido adiposo y moldea el cuerpo y el detox de café. Nos encantan sus precios, bastante accesibles para quien tiene un presupuesto limitado."

"Luis Barragán and Mathias Goeritz’s enchanting Torres de Satélite, built in 1957, announce the gateway to Ciudad Satélite, which was conceived as a commuter community when the population of Mexico City was booming. He is the father of "emotional architecture," a recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the architect and engineer with an oeuvre so vast and pivotal to modern architecture’s growth in Mexico City that he’s become a household name. And while Luis Barragán may be better known for projects like Cuadra San Cristóbal, his Torres de Satélite, or Satellite Towers—a collaboration with sculptor Mathias Goertiz and painter Jesús "Chucho" Reyes—redefined the skyline in 1957."
