Restaurants cuisine du monde Around Mexico City

In a very pleasant, nicely decorated and slightly upscale setting, you'll find a mix of Spanish and Puebla specialties. On the menu: lamb with butter and mushrooms, green pipián , tacos filled with shrimp and cheese, and turrón ice cream. It was here that Chile en nogada, the national dish, was first served. The establishment also organizes workshops on local cuisine and wine tasting. A classic of the city, still as good as ever despite the passage of years.

Good restaurant, located near the archaeological zone of Teotihuacán (5 min drive). Ideal for a little hunger after the pyramids visit. Good regional and economical cuisine. Among the specialties of the house: Aztec lasagna, prepared based on maize and piments tortilla, Teotihuacán soup and flower enchiladas in Jamaica.

A coffee worthy of this name. You will find the taste of a good espresso from home. A range of derivatives, such as cappuccino you can choose with aroma (amaretto, kernel…). Moka and hot chocolate.

This is the hotel restaurant of the same name. The frame is sumptuous, especially for dinner, and Mexican and international cuisine of high quality.

Until 2012 there was a Gaia restaurant in the historic centre of Cuernavaca, opposite the Palace of Cortés. Unfortunately it closed its doors. The lovers of good cuisine will therefore have to travel outside the historic centre to sample the dishes of this restaurant. Finally, by taxi, we don't have for a long time. And the kitchen of this modern and desirable restaurant is worth a visit. Good value for money.

100% Natural is a chain of restaurants that seeks to produce healthy and quality food at decent prices, offering fish dishes, fruits, vegetables, cereals, salads. In 2012 it opened a brand new restaurant in the centre of Cuernavaca, opposite the Jardín Morelos. The freshness of the menu is good, given the warmth it makes in Cuernavaca. 

This is a very nice restaurant founded in 1956, in this 19th century house with a nice patio. It serves full breakfasts(omelet huasteco), Puebla specialties( greenpipián , mole) and Mexican dishes(pechuga al ajillo), all at moderate prices. Very good option to taste the local cuisine, at any time of the day, and they even serve aperitifs, wines and cocktails. A traditional foundation that has evolved with the times. The setting, reminiscent of a flowery courtyard, is particularly pleasant.

A nice setting for lunch. Typical dishes of Puebla  : mole poblano, mixiote, enchiladas to the three moles, served on coloured tables.

Another typical restaurant in Puebla. The specialty of the house is, of course, chalupas, corn tortillas fried with chicken and sauce go down. 

Since 1906, this beautiful restaurant located in an underground cave has been offering a pre-Hispanic inspired dining experience. The menu includes indigenous ingredients such as xoconoxtle (cactus fruit), escamoles (ant eggs), quelites (aboriginal plant) and chinicuil (chili worm). Various personalities have passed through this mythical place: Charles de Gaulle, John F. Kennedy, Emperor Akihito, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and María Felix. Oh, and a nice surprise awaits you at the end of the meal. A must-see.

This cooperative is run by a committee of village women who take turns over three years to bring this place to life after your visit to the archaeological zone. The buildings are charming and the place is well maintained. It is an essential break after your visit, to enjoy a fresh orange juice or a small ice-cold beer, without forgetting to spend the day in the fresh water pools. As far as food is concerned, you will have a hard time finding more typical dishes, as they only serve a very nice home cooking of the region.

Away from the hustle and bustle of San Diego Avenue (itself crowded with restaurants), this hacienda-style building opens onto an oasis of greenery and offers its well-to-do clientele a fine Mexican cuisine revisited with an international twist: huachinango with mustard and ceviche with mango (fish), soups, salads and grilled meat dishes. A nice stop for a quiet afternoon. The place is cosy and also has a large garden and a huge playroom for the kids. One of the best addresses in town.

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.
