MEROMA
Read moreChefs Rodney Cusic and Mercedes Bernal had dreamed of opening their restaurant since they were kids. It was in 2016 that they opened Meroma, after working for several years in New York and then in London. Since its opening, they have been able to boast of having a street-front location, given the high traffic of the place. Built on two floors in a modern decor with a retro touch, the restaurant offers a seasonal menu with sought-after flavors. We appreciate its foie gras, its beef tartar and its quail marinated in harissa.
