Good selection of American-sized Mexican dishes: Restaurant El Andariego (20. November 2021)
Given I didn’t want to dine at the hotel only, I decided to give a couple of restaurants in Puerto Vallarta a try. What you get at the El Andariego is a good selection of different Mexican style dishes and definitely a good deal for your booze order. I wanted to get a small margarita […]
A lovely experience with dust-induced surroundings: Restaurant Amaya (18. November 2021)
The Amaya was another restaurant recommended in ‘La Liste’ and frankly speaking, not a bad one either. I went for the “ceviche de almeja generosa, con leche de tigre y aguacate” (220 MXN) which was definitely not really what I had hoped for since I did not understand that almeja means stomach – so it […]
Unless you don’t have another choice, don’t go: Restaurant ihop Patio Universidad (18. November 2021)
If you’re looking for a quick breakfast fix and don’t expect too much with regards to quality, then the ihop is a safe bet. Since I was a bit in a hurry, I decided to get something quick here and went for the “chicken quesadillas” (199 MXN) which were surprisingly good. I suppose if you […]
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 […]
While the experience itself is great the staff really makes a difference: Lufthansa First LH498 FRA – MEX (14. November 2021)
It is a bit more than 1.5 years ago since I’ve had the pleasure to fly First Class (with Swiss from Zurich to Osaka) and a bit more than 3 years ago since I had the same pleasure with Lufthansa (on the same flight). And I was very much looking forward to the whole ride […]
