Fifty Mils

★ 4.60 $$$

The bar inside the Four Seasons. It's a gorgeous hotel and the bar definitely holds true what you would expect from them.

location_on

Licorería Limantour

★ 4.40 $$$

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.

location_on

Parker & Lenox

★ 4.50 $$

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.

Went for a tequila tasting that fun, but ultimately I don't think we would go back. The food was overpriced.

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.

Found a highly rated Indian fusion restaurant that was delicious. It's a small place, but the food was spot on and filled the belly.

location_on

Molino "El Pujol"

★ 4.10

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.

location_on

Panadería Rosetta

★ 4.60 $$

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!

location_on

Quintonil

★ 4.50 $$$$

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.

Part of the Rosetta brand, this is their Italian restaurant. Loved all the pasta dishes and had to order all the desserts.

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.
