    Mexican fresh corn soup (Crema de Elote)...delicious!

    Definitely a hidden gem connected to hotel galeria plaza reforma! I ate dinner here as my last meal of the trip for convenience, since I was staying in the connected hotel and therefore wasn't expecting much out of the food. But, I was shocked and amazed by how good the food truly was, and it was probably one of my top meals during my stay in Mexico City. Not only is the food excellent, but so is the service. Given the quality of food and service I would recommend this restaurant even to people not staying in the next door hotel.

    I was glad I picked Almara for my last dinner in Mexico City. Something tells me I'll be back and Almara will be on my list again. I had a mango margarita, cream corn soup, and ribeye steak. Everything tasted amazing and they have great service.

    We had such a wonderful experience here. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was lovely. Alan and his team are true professionals. Every recommendation was absolutely delicious. This truly exceeded our expectations. Every restaurant experience should be like the wine we had at Almara. We cannot wait to return.

    Lets start by saying that the service here is simply impeccable. It's old world service, something very hard to find in the States for the price you pay for a meal here. As I sat down, a napkin was quickly placed on my lap, while extra virgin olive oil and a choice of breads was placed on the table. I informed my waiter that all the appetizers looked so good. The chef must of over heard me and whisked out some of the salmon Tar Tar for me to have a bite of. Omg it was so delicious that I ordered it along with the French onion soup. To my disappointment the salmon Tar Tar was just a gift from the chef and could not be ordered. I reluctantly settled on the tuna Tar Tar instead. It's the first time i was offered something I couldn't buy but was thankful I had an opportunity to try the little bite. The soup is like heaven. It has so much gooey cheese that pairs well with the onion broth and croutons, I feel as if I drifted away to another place of times bygone. The music playing in the background is jazz and standards which is perfect for the venue and a compliment to the menu offerings. The only thing I'm missing is the Rat Pack to come out and entertain me as I dine. The tuna Tar Tar was good. It was slightly salty. Not sure where the saltiness came from. I was a bit taken back at first because it was on top of a bed of quinoa, which was a first for me. I like pairing Tar Tar with the crunchiness of a crouton or cracker as it balances out well. I asked for something crunchy and they brought some chips. Personally I could do without the added saltiness and a little chopped chili, like a Serrano pepper would have made the the tuna Tar Tar a 5 star dish for me. Comencemos diciendo que el servicio aquí es simplemente impecable. Es viejo servicio mundial, algo muy difícil de encontrar en los Estados Unidos por el precio que pagas por una comida aquí. Cuando me senté, una servilleta se colocó rápidamente en mi regazo, mientras que el aceite de oliva virgen extra y una selección de panes se puso sobre la mesa. Me informó mi camarero que todos los aperitivos parecía tan bueno. El chef debe de oído y me llevaron algunos salmón Tar Tar para mí para tener un bocado de. Omg era tan deliciosa que pedí junto con la sopa de cebolla francesa. Para mi decepción el Tar Tar de salmón era simplemente un regalo del chef y no podía ser ordenados. A regañadientes me instalé en el atún Tar Tar en su lugar. Es la primera vez que me ofrecieron algo que no podía comprar pero estaba agradecido que tuve la oportunidad de probar el pequeño bocado. La sopa es como el cielo. Tiene mucho queso pegajoso que pares bien con el caldo de cebolla y croutons, me siento como si me alejaba a otro lugar de tiempos pasados. La música que toca en el fondo es jazz y estándares que es perfecto para el lugar y un complemento a las ofertas de menú. Lo único que me falta es el Rat Pack para salir y entretenerme mientras cenamos. El alquitrán de alquitrán de atún era bueno. Estaba un poco salada. No estoy seguro de donde vino la salinidad. Yo estaba un poco retirado al principio porque estaba en la cima de una cama de quinoa, que fue la primera para mí. Me gusta emparejar Tar Tar con la crujiente de un crouton o galleta como equilibra bien. Pedí algo crujiente y trajeron algunas patatas fritas. Personalmente, me podría hacer sin la sal añadida y un poco de chili picado, como una pimienta de Serrano habría hecho el atún Tar Tar un plato de 5 estrellas para mí.

    Elegant restaurant in Condesa with very good food and cocktails. They do try to steer you towards top shelf tequilas and mezcal when you first sit down. But peruse the cocktail menu and make your choices. Do order the tuna tartare and/or the seafood cocktail appetizers-- both excellent and beautifully presented. Regarding entrees, the sea bass was delicious, as well as the scallop risotto. The pastas are a little less successful being slightly over cooked instead of al dente. Coffee and desserts are good.

    This place bills itself as a Moroccan-Mexican fusion restaurant. My margarita was delicious with Don Julio tequila in an up-glass. The ceviche on a bed of guacamole with exotic fruits was on point, served with homemade tortilla chips. And the ribeye was succulent and cooked to perfection. It melts in your mouth. Very flavorful! It's served with three large-cut french fries and some guacamole that will make you wish you lived in Mexico. Finally, the creme brûlée is creamy, caramelized heaven with fresh fruit on top!

    Almara is one of the best restaurants in Mexico City. They have incredible cuisine, and authentic dishes. I recommend getting the corn soup - it is amazing. Also, if you are visiting in the month of September, they make an outstanding Chile en Nogada. I recommend this restaurant for a date night or if you are looking for a more upscale dining experience when visiting the city.

    We made an effort to leave room for the creme brûlée and soufflé, both of which were excellent.

    Out of the three Azul restaurants in Mexico City, Azul Histórico is located in one of the most…read morebeautiful patios with lush trees and chandeliers hanging from the branches. This spot is perfect for a date night but the food was just okay. I liked everything we tried, except for the fish which was a bit dry. Service could be improved though, or maybe it was just our server. She was pretty short with us and cleaned our plates quickly (which I normally wouldn't mind but I was just getting used to the slower pace of Mexico City, where dining can take as long as you want it to). Then when the bill came, she demanded a 15% or 20% tip, when every other place we had been to ASKED if we wanted to tip and started at 10%. This was a bit of a turnoff and left a bad taste in our mouths as we left.

Unfortunately, the experience was significantly undermined by terrible service from our waiter. He was neither friendly nor welcoming, and at times made us feel like we were an inconvenience. When present, he rushed us; when we asked for more time, he disappeared for far too long. He never checked in about our meals or asked whether we needed anything else. When he finally returned after we had finished our entrees to take our dessert orders, I requested the famous hot chocolate. His response was condescending, and then he told us it wasn't available. Oddly, about 10 minutes later, we saw the hot chocolate cart pass by for another table behind us. I asked another server if hot chocolate was still being served--she confirmed it was, and even offered to bring some to our table. We declined and requested the check instead. This made it crystal clear our waiter had lied and intentionally withheld it from us for reasons I still don't understand, as we were polite throughout. When he brought the check and credit card terminal, I told him I would not be leaving a tip--only the second time I've ever done that in all my years of dining internationally. He reacted with visible anger and left abruptly without providing a paper receipt. This was supposed to be a special birthday dinner, but the level of service fell far below expectations for a restaurant of this caliber. I would not return based on this experience.
