Maximo Bistrot Mexico City

Mexico City · Mexico

Maximo Bistrot is one of Mexico City's most admired neighborhood restaurants, where chef Eduardo García prepares a daily-changing menu built entirely around the ingredients available at that morning's Mercado de San Juan — one of the city's finest specialty food markets. Located in Roma Norte, the restaurant's approach is bistrot in spirit but deeply Mexican in character: a chalkboard menu of pasta, fish, grilled meats, and vegetables that reflects what was freshest that morning, prepared with considerable technical skill and no pretension. García's sourcing is impeccable, and the result is an experience of rare freshness and spontaneity that has made Maximo one of the most consistently rewarding restaurants in the city for over a decade.

Contramar Mexico City
Food

Contramar Mexico City

Contramar is Mexico City's most beloved seafood restaurant and arguably the defining restaurant of the city's modern food culture, drawing an eclectic crowd of artists, politicians, families, and food writers to its spacious dining room in Colonia Roma since 1998. Founded by chef Gabriela Cámara, the restaurant's signature dishes — tuna tostadas, atún con dos chiles, and the iconic red-and-green painted whole fish — have become part of the city's culinary identity. The room is open-plan and gloriously noisy at lunch, when most of Mexico City's creative class seems to gather, and the service is friendly and direct. Contramar is the restaurant that defines contemporary Mexico City dining.

Rosetta Restaurant Mexico City

Rosetta is one of Mexico City's most beloved restaurants, where chef Elena Reygadas has created an idiosyncratic and deeply personal Italian-Mexican synthesis that draws on her training in Italy and her roots in Mexico City's middle-class culinary culture. Located in a 1906 mansion in the Roma Norte neighborhood, the restaurant's layered rooms and garden courtyard create an atmosphere of civilized warmth, and the bakery annex has become one of the most important bakeries in Latin America in its own right. Reygadas — named Best Female Chef in Latin America's 50 Best — has built a Rosetta universe that includes a café, a patisserie, and an outpost in the Reforma hotel, all sharing the restaurant's values of quality, simplicity, and warmth.

St. Regis Mexico City

The St. Regis Mexico City opened in 2009 in a striking tower designed by Enrique Norten in the Cuauhtémoc district, its floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic views of the Paseo de la Reforma and, on clear days, the volcanoes of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl to the south. The 189 rooms and suites combine the brand's signature luxury with a distinctly Mexican aesthetic, incorporating textiles, art, and design objects from Mexican artisans. The hotel's butler service, Diana terrace restaurant, and King Cole Bar — a classic St. Regis institution wherever the brand operates — have made it an important address for Mexico City's business and diplomatic community.
