    Botánico is on many lists for must-try in CDMX. The setting is stunning with a really gorgeous garden, but the food was overpriced. This was our most expensive meal in CDMX and we didn't even order as much as we did elsewhere. There is a limited cocktail menu, they have a great wine list though. Our cocktails were pretty average so I would stick to wine if I were to visit again. Personal favorites were the short rib and fennel salad. Overall this was a fun spot but not "wow" enough to justify our high bill.

    Botánico was an absolute delight. One of my favorite restaurants in CDMX so far for a multitude of reasons ranging from ambience, attentive service, and of course the fresh seasonal ingredients that shine in each of the unique combinations on their menu I hit the point in vacation where I was starting to miss having a variety of fresh F/V in the diet and Botánico offered a fun menu of salads, cold/hot starters and entrees that fit the bill nicely. Each dish was exceptionally well crafted. Different textures and flavor combinations were layered in a very nuanced way that never left you questioning what it is the chef was trying to highlight or question what it is you were tasting Portions were perfect for the solo diner or would recommend order an amalgam of starters to share family style for a group! Will definitely be back one more time before the end of this trip

    Such a gorgeous ambiance and cool vibe. Service was great and very efficient. The tuna tostada is a must try!!

    Beautiful ambiance, food was either decently good or a huge miss. We ordered the Manguito cocktail, the fried calamari with "oriental" sauce, a hamburger, and risotto. Manguito (3/5): what could've been an excellent cocktail (cardamom, mango, and passion fruit and whiskey) ended up being an excellent soda as we could not taste the whiskey whatsoever. I tried telling myself that maybe it was just diluted - but whiskey has a strong flavor so I'm convinced that the bartender forgot to add liquor at all. Fried calamari (1/5): a truly terrible dish - the "Oriental" sauce, as it turned out, was a bad version of a sweet and sour sauce that was so overly acidic and overwhelming one couldn't tell that it was calamari. I could barely finish the dish until I removed the breading and just ate the squid underneath. Risotto (4/5): the bar was already low, so this was a pleasant surprise. It was really creamy, topped with sliced jalapeño and cucumbers. Hamburger (4/5): Perfectly cooked burger with bacon, two kinds of cheese, and a pickle. The dairy was a bit much but overall good. Sourdough (5/5): hate to say this, but might've been the best thing we ate. The bread came out warm, and the cheese spread was lightly salted. Fire

    This place is incredible -- you need to try it. Firstly, the cocktails are incredible. I started with a Negroni (my way to gauge how well the bartender can balance flavors in a very traditional drink). It was perfectly balanced and passed my test. Their craft cocktail menu is worth a look. The food was phenomenal. Favorites were the tuna tostada and the agnolotti with morels. We tried some other dishes which were also very good. The garden ambiance, surrounded by their cacti, really adds to the charm. We went for a 2pm lunch, but I'm also told that this place can get pretty wild on weekend evenings.

    Beautiful courtyard seating.

    In A Nutshell: -Botanico is a really lovely upscale place to grab lunch in Condesa. -I love the outdoor garden seating w/ the 100 year old cacti towering above the courtyard along w/ the small pond. -The service here is very good. -The food is all top-notch in regards to both taste & presentation. -I highly recommend ordering the Heirloom Tomato Salad, Fish Tiradito & the Agnolotti Pasta. -Each one of those dishes are delicious, you won't want to waste a drop. Overall, I will definitely come back to eat here the next time I visit CDMX!

    I'm surprised there isn't more on here for this place besides the one star review. And since that reviewer didn't even eat here I feel the need to offer some redemption. First off - very friendly and attentive staff. Some English to balance our basic Spanish. The special cocktails are worth asking about if you are curious but intimidated by the exotic ingredient. The menu is very approachable with some clever local variations on familiar dishes. I would order the tuna tostadas every day if I could. The garden is a wonderful setting in which to enjoy it all as well. Fantastic. Staff ***** Ambiance ***** Drinks ***** Food ***** Music *****

    This place is a hidden gem and it checked all the boxes for me. I didn't read the reviews on this place till we left and I'm honestly shocked at all the negative comments. I'm just going to chalk it up to them being a newer spot. The ambiance is so special, it's giving hidden garden while still maintaining the native foliage of Mexico. The service was top notch the only thing we found funny was the waiter had broken English (which is expected and my fiancé is fluent in Spanish) and whenever we spoke to our server we would speak Spanish and he would only respond in English. We then transferred over to English and he couldn't understand us. Not a big deal we just thought it was a bit funny. The food was spectacular, we went a little crazy here and orders a bunch of items. All of the food was perfect and we honestly wish we had made another reservation for a second night. We will absolutely be back to try more items and reorder some of our favorites.

Merkava is a beautiful little restaurant in La Condesa with both indoor and outdoor seating. As mentioned, we were tired from traveling and picked the cool, indoor seating and enjoyed the nice decor. We started with hummus and, not realizing it came with pita, also ordered the house bread. The hummus was a huge portion, enough to feed a group of 7-8 and came with a pouch of several warm pitas. The hummus was homemade and a bit chunky. The house bread was even better, coils of bread with tahini butter, serrano chili oil, and a tomato cumin sauce. The bread was fantastic, warm from being freshly baked and with buttery layers and the variety of dipping sauces was pleasant for dipping. A show-stopper of a dish was the whole roasted cauliflower served with zaatar, yogurt, and mint. Our head was cut into manageable portions for us, but interestingly, they served the adjacent table with a whole head for a more dramatic presentation. The cauliflower was tender and its mild flavor was enhanced by the zaatar spices. The fish of the day was the better of the two entrees. We liked the sauteed vegetables with lentils that it was served with, much like a ratatouille with lentils, along with a parsley sauce and grilled lemon. The wagyu kebabs were an odd texture, crumbled and dry. The restaurant provided a complimentary bite of dessert, a fruit (date, apricot) baklava of sorts that was a sweet bite to end the meal. All in all, we had a good meal at Merkava.

    Merkavá - Delicious! Lots of vegetarian options, the cauliflower (not pictured was great), be prepared to leave very full.

Started the meal with a romaine salad, to which I asked to add a side of grilled chicken. The chicken was grilled to a wonderful golden point, and the seasoning of the salad went along perfectly with the almonds on it. The crispy pork (Lechón lechal) was sublimely tender. In fact, the cubes were perfectly crisped, and yet the meat broke down like silk when cut. The complement of the red wine soaked pear, the sweet potato purée, and the dried fruits made this a light and satisfying meal, bite after bite! I had a seriously hard time trying to pick a dessert from so many great choices! Ultimately I went for the pistachio cake with passion fruit sauce, because by then I already trusted that every offering in this place is thoughtfully put together, and I wanted to try out something less pedestrian than a chocolate cake Finally, as if I hadn't been convinced this place was superb, towards the end of the meal, a chef committee review was held in a corner of the dining area. The comments by the judges were just as complimentary as my own... and I wasn't disappointed. The flavor composition was superb! Combining the cake with the mango ice sorbet made for a rich and refreshing flavor! The roasted nuts gave an extra crunch to some forkfuls, adding variety to an already succulent and creative end of meal! Without a doubt a great place to enjoy a superb meal!

The dishes are classic Italian pastas and entrées with lots of choices. My husband got Pasta Bolognese and I ordered Spinach Cannelloni--both very good. We got a piece of lasagne to go for a midnight snack during our stay and it was delicious too! We went back a second night and we tried one of the unique polenta dishes they have created and it was super-yummy. We had a couple salads that were excellent as well.

The food was great, the spritz was wonderful and the added bonus was that this is apparently one of the few places where you can enjoy good butter in Mexico. It's not a very Mexican item and as a country they don't seem too have much of it. My wife and I got to enjoy a delightful date and had a chance to reminisce about the wonderful time we'd had in Italy just a few months before.

We took Beef Tartar for appetizer. It looked like they have it in France except for it was served with hard toasts instead of hot fries. And tasted more like a fish tartar, what I mean is that they marinated the meat with too much of lemon juice and other ingredients that go better for the fish dishes and covered the flavor of the meat here. I'd put more olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and an egg yolk, no any lemon at all. Paella with all peeled seafood was delicious. Good amount of shrimps, fish, mussels, clams and even octopus -all fresh and soft. I think they used not Arborio rice, but it looked like Jasmin rice to me. And added roasted bell peppers gave more aromas to the dish. Filet with a Roquefort sauce was tender and mild, delicate flavor, cooked to our liking - rare. It was served with grilled vegetables. They have a lot of traditional Spanish tapas, such as Pulpo a la gallega (octopus), calamari, manchego cheese, jamon, fuet etc. As well as Mediterranean style main courses: pastas, paellas, fish, seafood, poultry and meat. All that we ordered was savory, sapid and yummy. Desserts were on a tray in display. Among rice pudding, Crème Brule, chocolate tart etc - we chose traditional cheese cake. It was very appetizing.
