Mexico
An amazing restaurant, considering the fact it’s located in a mall: Restaurant Aida Café (2. June 2024)
Since it was the last evening in Mexico, I decided to try another restaurant, but given I was located in Cuajimalpa, there weren’t too many places open at the evening of the election of the new president of Mexico. Luckily, the Aida Café, located in the Santa Fe Mall, was open, and wihle I’m always […]
A nice little restaurant worth looking for: Restaurant Fonda 115 (30. May 2024)
The Fonda 115 is a ‘must-know’ place, so, not necessarily something you will just walk into by coincidence (I mean, sure, you can, but it’s rather well hidden). Once you’ve entered, you’re served some “spicy sauce with popcorn”, which is the only way so far I have enjoyed popcorn. Then, you get to pick a […]
An absolutely lovely dining journey offering a local Mexican experience: Restaurant Raíz (29. May 2024)
The Raiz was yet another recommendation I decided to give a try, and I didn’t regret it. Once we had arrived, I went for a nice little cocktail to get started. The “Espinela (raicilla, chili pepper syrup, hibiscus syrup, lime juice, black pepper, chili pepper bitter)” (240 MXN) was actually refreshing and lovely overall. It […]
No. 7 of The World’s 50 Best Bars – and rightly so: Limantour Polanco (29. May 2024)
This place is the second opening of Limantour Roma, which was just awareded No. 7 of The World’s 50 Best Bars, and I do kind of understand why. The interior is nice and not overly fancy, but definitely interesting. However, they have a few very interesting drinks, like the “Chorizo Verde (Mezcal Creyente Espadín, Tomate […]
One of the few open bars in the afternoon in Polanco – worth visiting: Atípico (29. May 2024)
After a long walk and a few museum visits, it was time for a break. But, unfortunately, by like 4pm local time, there aren’t many bars open (at least not in Polanco), so we decided to try the Atípico, and it was a good choice. I went for the “Soma Mule (vodka, mango, habanero, cerveza […]
A truly delicious experience you should support when you’re in CDMX: Restaurant 1985 AntiFine Dining (28. May 2024)
Another recommendation I decided to follow, and I wasn’t disappointed. The 1985 AntiFine Dining is a lovely place, but I do wonder how they survive given we were the only guests the whole evening! In any case, I started with an “Alkimya (dulce y refrescante nieve de limón transmutada en un illustre elixir con un […]
Definitely an absolute must-visit, when you’re looking for great drinks in Mexico City: Casa Prunes (28. May 2024)
The Casa Prunes definitely belongs to the bars you need to visit when you’re in Mexico City. They offer not only great drinks, but also have an amazing interior design. I went for the “Moonerang (re-destilled Roku Gin with green bean, white tea with peach, simple syrup and blue spirulina)” (260 MXN), which looked like […]
A delicious Oaxacan food experience with a delay in the kitchen opening: Restaurant Guzina Oaxaca (28. May 2024)
The Guzina Oaxaca was also recommended, and my hopes were rather high. Personally, they were not full satisfied, but almost. When we arrived at 1pm, we were informed the food orders could not be placed before 1.30pm (don’t ask me why!) In any case, I went for a “Mojito de Cerezas (ron, cerezas, hierbabuena)” (180 […]
