Lovely place in Colonia Roma with a decent balcony and good service: Restaurant Meroma (17. November 2021)
The Meroma was recommended by a friend who lives in CDMX, so I was happy to give it a try. Once you’re seated the evening starts with some “pan y chile rostizado” which was a good start into the evening since you’d have to be a tiny bit patient until you get your food. Since […]
Tasty traditional Mexican dishes in a nice location: Restaurant Los Girasoles (17. November 2021)
Since the Guide Michelin doesn’t really apply to Mexico, I decided to use another app called ‘La Liste’ which provides you with great recommendations around the world, ranking from the fine dining cuisine to the local recommendations. The Los Girasoles was one of those more local recommendations and I mus say, rightly so. Once you’re […]
No. 9 of the World today but personally not as good as back then when it was No. 36 in 2009: Restaurant Pujol (16. November 2021)
It’s a solid 12 years ago since I’ve been to the Pujol (which back then was No. 36 of the world). Now, it’s No. 9 of the world and it has changed quite a bit. Personally, I had high expectations since back then I had eaten maggots and ants for the first time in my […]
A traditional Mexican food experience in an amazing setting in the city center: Restaurant Azul Histórico (16. November 2021)
If you are close to the Zócalo, it’s worth walking around the area as you do find some hidden gems like the Azul Histórico. I walked past the entrance a few times since I didn’t exactly see that there was a lovely restaurant inside. After having passed and following the dot on Google Maps, I […]
Amazing drink experience with nice view onto the city: King Cole Bar @ The St. Regis Mexico City (25. August 2018)
About 16 months ago I was in the King Cole Bar in The St. Regis Mexico City and wasn’t entirely satisfied with my drink experience back then. After I had published the review, Paulina, the Director of Marketing and Public Relations reached out to me in July 2017, asking me to give the place another […]
Great experience in the outskirts of Mexico City: Restaurant Sud 777 (25. August 2018)
The Restaurant Sud 777 was on my list for quite a while and last time when I’ve been to Mexico I had a booking but somehow didn’t manage to pay it a visit. This time, it worked. It is, admittedly, located in a quite remote part of Mexico City and a good 45 minutes car […]
Lovely local food in one of the markets: Comedor Candita @ Mercado de 20 Noviembre (24. August 2018)
What I like about Mexico is their local markets – where you can find all kinds of foods. I have read a couple of times about a “Tlayuda” and had no clue what kind of dish this was. So, it was time to get one. In the Mercado de 20 Noviembre (which, according to the […]
Lovely ice cream truck in the middle of nowhere: Manolo Nieves (24. August 2018)
There is one tourist bus in Oaxaca (as the place isn’t that large) and it costs 100 MXN. Worth taking (ideally the first day) as it provides you with a good overview over the city and its main attractions. On the tour, there is a short stop at some church and place (I can’t recall […]
