Ciudad de México (MEX)
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 […]
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)
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 […]
Perfect for an extensive Sunday brunch in Chapultepec: Restaurant El Lago (19. August 2018)
I always liked to go to Chapultepec as it is somehow ‘the’ green spot in CDMX. So, I was looking for a nice restaurant in the park – and the El Lago is actually quite a great place. For only 690 MXN you get access to the brunch buffet – and it’s worth it. There […]
