The best restaurants Around Mexico City

In this old-fashioned building, both elegant and casual, restaurant and brasserie, chef Gerardo Arriaga has been offering antipasti and carpaccios to the most discerning palates for over twenty years. If you leave him the time to prepare your dishes on the spot, there's no reason to be disappointed: try theFraddiavolo langostinos ... Fresh pasta, seafood and pizzas, tiramisù for the incorrigible. A good address with a warm atmosphere and, to make matters worse, a breathtaking view of the lake.

Facing the square, it is a traditional restaurant divided into several areas; its terrace (the most formal and elegant of all) offers a beautiful view of the church and the convent. The buffet, which offers a choice of about thirty dishes, is crowded every weekend; the service can be a bit chaotic, but this is nothing considering the opportunity to try so many typical dishes: sopa de tortilla, pancita, pescado al mixiote, pecho de ternera, chiles en nogada, rabbit in sauce, steamed vegetables and desserts.

This restaurant has become an icon for those who want to discover the local traditional cuisine or immerse themselves with delight in the seasonal dishes. In this beautiful maze of rooms and patios, all the regional specialities are served, including a tasting dish that allows you to try different types of mole, or plates of chalupas as a starter. Those who wish to immerse themselves in a gastronomy with more international flavours will find their happiness with beef fillets, salmon fillets or shrimp and fish dishes.

In the courtyard of the eponymous museum, the old building just renovated, the map is wide and the preparation of the Spanish and Mexican inspired dishes with security. The area has a terrace, a bar and also a space dedicated to musical expression. A very good moment in perspective.

In a magical and colourful little street corner (of course!), this small café with its organic decor is a real breath of fresh air for those who want to take a break from the neon atmosphere of thefondas: the soothing decor and terrace will delight even those who get up on the wrong side of the bed. On the menu, disarming simplicity for small dishes of local inspiration; coffee, salads and sandwiches at any time. For a snack, you can try the delicious crêpes. And for a refreshing break, don't hesitate to order one of their smoothies.
