Lovely experience with thought through design: Restaurant Pitiona Cocina de Autor (23. August 2018)

The Pitiona Cocina de Autor was another recommendation from the book ‘Where Chefs Eat‘. And yet another really good one. I went for the “Quico” (110 MXN) – a mezcal drink – as an aperitivo and I must say, I will never be a big fan of mezcal. It has its own particular taste which […]

Definitely a tourist trap, yet not so bad all in all: Restaurant Rancho Zapata (23. August 2018)

Definitely a tourist trap, yet not so bad all in all: Restaurant Rancho Zapata (23. August 2018)

Given I did a full day trip first to Monte Albán and then to Mitla (which is like 50 kilometers on the other side of Oaxaca), it was just time to get some food around 2pm that day. So, I ended up in the Rancho Zapata which the driver had recommended to me. As always, […]

Lovely hotel with decent complimentary breakfast: Restaurant La Casa de Sierra Azul (23. Augus 2018)

Given there is no Starwood hotel in Oaxaca, I had to find something else, and I did. The Hotel La Casa de Sierra Azul is actually an absolutely lovely place with friendly staff just making you feel comfortable there. And in the price of approximately CHF 100 per night, there is also “American breakfast” included. […]

Yet another great find by ‘Where Chefs Eat’: Restaurant Origen (22. August 2018)

Yet another great find by ‘Where Chefs Eat’: Restaurant Origen (22. August 2018)

The Origen is another find from the book ‘Where Chefs Eat‘. And it is also a place definitely worth visiting. As a starter, you are served “tostatadas de maíz blanco y negro’ with “chile canario”. Not sure what canario exactly is but in any case, the chili is rather spicy. I decided to go for […]

Amazing drinks, food and view: Mezquite Bar (22. August 2018)

The Mezquite Bar was another great find from the book ‘Where Chefs Eat‘. The place is not only serving great drinks and offers a marvelous view, it also serves tasty local dishes like the “Taco de Chapulin (con costra de quesillo, chapulines y guacamole, sobre tortilla de maíz)” (35 MXN) which is basically a taco […]

Regular airport food – not recommended: Alfa Bar & Restaurante (22. August 2018)

Regular airport food – not recommended: Alfa Bar & Restaurante (22. August 2018)

Given I was starving before taking my flight to Oaxaca, I decided to eat something in the airport. Well, there aren’t too many options (and especially not too many appealing options) in the Terminal 2 of MEX airport. The Alfa Bar & Restaurante seemed like a decent solution. So, I went for the “Tacos al […]

Good but not on my list of the 50 Best restaurants: Restaurant Nicos (21. August 2018)

Good but not on my list of the 50 Best restaurants: Restaurant Nicos (21. August 2018)

The Restaurant Nicos is No. 29 of the 50 Best Restaurants in Latin America – given I’ve tried a couple, my expectations were quite high. Frankly speaking, they haven’t really been fulfilled though. The “bread wagon” where you get to pick which breads you want, is nice. However, the waitress did not manage to serve […]

Huge maggots and scorpion – a unique experience: Restaurant La Casa de los Tacos (20. August 2018)

I always wanted to pay a visit to Coyacan as it is the ‘artsy’ area of CDMX. Given, I had no clue which restaurant to visit, I googled ‘best restaurant in Coyacan’ and the La Casa de los Tacos is the one which showed up. So, time to go there. Once I arrived there I […]
