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.

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.

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.

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.
