Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Santa Fe / Bosques

My husband and I spent a month in Mexico City eating in a different restaurant from the Michelin Guide each evening. Migrante was by far the best. The atmosphere is lovely, the waitstaff is excellent and the food is inventive, beautifully presented, reasonably priced, and delicious.

Maximo is worth a visit. Make your reservations early. It’s a very comfortable environment- warm and friendly. Food was very good. Service great.

Dining at Lorea in Mexico City was an extraordinary experience, elevated even further by sitting at the chef’s table, where we witnessed firsthand the artistry of Chef Oswaldo Oliva and his talented team. The tasting menu was a masterful celebration of Mexican ingredients and flavors, thoughtfully reimagined through modern techniques and creative storytelling. Each dish showcased a deep respect for native ingredients, blending tradition with innovation in unexpected yet harmonious ways. The attention to detail was impeccable, not just in the food but also in the warm and knowledgeable service, making every moment feel intentional and special. The wine pairing was equally impressive, carefully curated to enhance the complexity of the dishes. While every selection stood out, the true revelation of the evening was the Rosa de Uva from Bodega del Viento (Coahuila, Mexico)—a beautifully balanced rosé that exemplifies the growing excellence of Mexican winemaking. This pairing, alongside the intricate flavors of the menu, highlighted the richness and diversity of Mexico’s culinary heritage. Lorea is more than a restaurant; it is a sensory journey through the best of Mexico’s ingredients, executed with precision, passion, and a touch of magic. For those seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Mexico City, it is an absolute must-visit.

Good food and great service. It needs more wine options

This small and cozy restaurant is an absolute must-visit if you’re a fan of authentic Greek cuisine. From the moment you step in, the inviting atmosphere effortlessly transports you to the heart of the Mediterranean, making it a true hidden gem. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the moussaka—a fantastic dish that delivers both flavor and authenticity. Another standout was the “Chips de calabaza & berenjena”—a delightful appetizer. The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who went out of their way to make the experience memorable. If you’re looking to indulge in flavorful and authentic Greek cuisine, this restaurant is the place to go. Be sure to order the moussaka—you won’t regret it!
