LOS AMANTES Café & Bistro

Best place for breakfast in Coyoacan. Their salsa is out of this world and adds the perfect amount of flavor to any dish.

A restaurant right next to the town square in Coyoacan. Perfect place to stop by when you want a break from walking around the area.

Bar

Licorería Limantour

Listed as a top 50 bar in the world, it definitely needs a reservation to avoid long wait times. The drink menu was interesting but nothing really stood out as top tier here. The cocktails were good but often times felt more like a fruit juice than a cocktail.

Bar

Parker & Lenox

A speakeasy with live music that is kind of in its own part of Mexico City. I was a little worried about the area when walking to it, but once inside it large and completely safe. Perhaps get a taxi to drop you off.

Polanco

The ritziest part of Mexico City with tons of high end shops and restaurants. It was a very large contrast to other areas like Roma Norte.

Quintonil

One of the top restaurants in the world and it lived up to it. Got in by putting our name on a waiting list, but recommend making a reservation a month or more in advance. The tasting menu is delicious and the wine pairing was done superbly.

Panadería Rosetta

THE bakery to go to in Mexico City. Lines can get long but it moves quickly. You can't go wrong with anything but if you go in October, get the Pan de Muerto!

Molino "El Pujol"

An offshoot of Pujol that specializes in their tortillas. I was surprised that the menu is 100% vegetarian. Their enmoladas were my favorite; a simple dish with tortillas covered in mole sauce.
