18. August 2012: Restaurant Casa Bell

Once seated, we were served some bread with “Salsa Verde”, limes, and cheese. The combination is pretty tasty – especially if you take some of the spiciness of the salsa with the lime.

The “Sopa con Pescados y Camarones” (125 MXN) is a simple but rich dish. The soup is oily, full of taste and the combination with fish (no clue which one it was) and shrimp is quite satisfying.

The restaurant already looks appealing from the outside and has a nice little patio inside.

The waiters are friendly and quick – taking up the orders in no time and being at your service when you need them. The prices are also fair but high for Mexico City (depending on which area you are in). A bottle of Sol accounts for 35 MXN which is quite okay – the only thing which was definitely not expected was the “cubierto” of 20 MXN per person.

In any case, when you are around that area, the Restaurant Casa Bell is definitely a place you can sit down and enjoy something to eat.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems!
