The pastry scene in CDMX need not apologize to anyone - some of the best and most innovative patisserie I've tasted in years was at the various bakeries we sampled in Roma Norte and Condesa over the past few days, and Ficelle was probably the best among them. We loved everything we tried, but the star of the show was the tarta de higos (fig tart), with large pieces of fig that still tasted sweet even after switching off bites with a decadent chocolate cookie they also have an offer.

Great selection of pastries. Very fresh and beautifully displayed. Their baked goods were very good. Their coffee, however, was not good at all. Their latte had zero coffee flavor and just tasted like steamed milk. Come for the pasties but avoid the latte.

This cafe is true to itself the real deal. What made the cafe super interesting to me was the fact that they sell great pastries, various forms of cafes, and an equally diverse selection of wine. This block was already teaming with people dining on the sidewalk, and this cafe took it a step further with real awnings and plenty of light. The only things missing were the outdoor heat lamps. Obviously they don't use those in this part of the world, although it was a little nippy when I walked over here. I came on a complete whim, and I ordered a pastry with fruit and a cold Topo Chiko agua in the plastic bottle. I could tell the pastry had not been sitting on the counter all day, because it was still soft. I liked this cafe as well as this trendy little neighborhood.

Wow! Danishes are excellent and well-filled. There's a little of everything here. There are full cakes available, there's wine to buy, there are pastries, baguettes, muffins, small pastries, and larger pastries as well. Some things, I've never seen before, like the crunchy guava lemon tart. I ordered it to go, so I'll update once it's tried. We had a chocolate danish and a cream & fruit danish and they were well-filled and super flaky. I would definitely return here.

Apple Danish

Last week we were in the wonderful area of Condesa, and looking for a cash exchange house, when we stumbled upon this gem. I marveled at the wonderful display of goodies they had and couldn't wait to get in and try one. It was a side trip from our mission, but well worth stopping by and tasting their pastries. My husband had a fig pastry and I had a wonderful apple Danish (image provided). These pastries are the fluffy, flaky kind, and am curious for the secret recipe. I wanted to return, naively believing there is all sorts of time. Mexico City has an even shorter minute than a New York minute. Asides the wonderful pastries, the girls behind the counter were very informed and friendly. I have made a future bookmark to return.

Tarta de cereza (cherry tart)
Matt L.

Twice in two days. You'll look in this vitrine and want every last thing in it. Absolutely gorgeous pastries. Very friendly staff who indulged me in my attempts to speak Spanish. And the food...well, I wouldn't have gone twice in two days if it wasn't incredible. Peach tart one day, cherry tart the next. Textured just as hard as I would like them to be. Not overly sweet. You really could taste the different fruits and not just butter and sugar.

Petite four

Lovely ambiance. The passion fruit tart was out of this world. Service was great and prices were fair! Only outdoor seating available if you want to sit. I will be back tomorrow to try the fig tart.

Ficelle is quite cute. It was recommended to me by a friend so I went out of my way to come here, and I will say the selection of pastries was smaller than some of the other pastelerías I had been to. That said, I got a couple individual petite fours here (appreciate they sell them separately so you don't have to buy a bunch - I just bought 2) and they were lovely! One was passion fruit and the other fig. The workers were really sweet and spoke English fairly well so they were able to give me some recommendations. The area is cute and fairly safe, near several parks (so also nice to people watch in the area). Overall I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again but i was glad to visit it the once!

These were the best pastries we had in Mexico City. We love this place so much that we went twice during our three day stay in Mexico City. All the pastries we had were absolutely delicious. We had a chocolate almond croissant, sticky bun, and a braided puff pastry with chocolate. We also enjoyed a coffee at the coffee shop right next door while we ate our pastries. The staff was very nice too. Highly recommend!

It is a beautiful old restaurant which looks far more elegant and stuffy than it really is. "Au Pied de Cochon" offers a traditional old style French Restaurant Menu, most famous for serving the 19th century favorite of a crispy meaty deep fried Pigs Foot (or Trotter as it's called in Britain). I had this dish only once, and it was delicious (although a bit dryer than a braised pig's foot in gravy, which I prefer). But during each visit here I tried to order something new and different. Once when I was taken out here we ordered the 'Grand Seafood Tower', which consisted of nearly an 'All-Raw' 3 story high platter of fresh seafood. There were Oysters, Clams, chilled steamed Mussels & Shrimp, Sea-Snails, small steamed Periwinkle Snails, and both a cold cooked Crab and a half of a chilled cooked North Atlantic Lobster. On another occasion I ordered the large Alsacian Choucroute for two (it is basically a mountain of sauerkraut piled high with sausages, cured meats, and liver dumplings): YUM! And another time I had blood-rare steak (blue) coated in green peppercorn sauce. I had other delicious meals here as well, but these three really stood out. The best thing about eating here was just being here. The service was impeccable, the decor was like stepping back in time, and all of the meals I ordered came to the table slowly as a multi-course feast, with Escargot to start, followed by Pate or a rich Bisques, then the mains - and finally a cheese plate followed by desert & coffee. Plus there was alcohol served constantly, from Pernod or Campari as my aperitif, followed by many bottles of wine, and ending with a cognac or a sweet liqueur. So as you can imagine, I either had to be taken here by someone else, or I had to save up for two months to come here. But EVERY PENNY SPENT and EVERY CALORIE CONSUMED was Well Worth It.

My family came here for dinner in August 2026. Most of the meal was very good; however, the duck…read moreconfit portions were small and somewhat dry.

I'm not a fanboy of French food as I think it can be a bit heavy at times, but boy oh boy was this place great! The salmon was perfectly cooked( with a slightly raw interior, served on some of the best roasted vegetables you can imagine. Around it was a delicious sesame ribbon breadstick, absolutely amazing. They also gave us some complementary rose and a shot of lentil consomme, all excellent. The prices were elevated a bit, most diners arrived in jackets, so it if definitely a higher end joint, but it is probably one of the few French themed places I will seek out again. And if you like French fare in the slightest, or even if you are slightly against it, it is definitely worth a try. Oh and since it's a French place I should also mention the bread was served as petite almost crossaint shaped rolls with the balance of a crispy, toasted crust and a perfectly leavened yet glutinous and porous pliable interior. It was so good we saved it for dessert and it was a fantastic finish. Happy eating from John Seeto!

Five star all the way around. We had an excellent red wine and superb service from start to finish. They have an excellent cocktail and wine list, full bar, and everything from the most delicious appetizers and soups and salads to entrees and desserts. You cannot go wrong with this place.

Different perspectives on Pain Perdu, Tartines, Ouefs en Cocotte, and Croque Monsieurs are to be found on nearly every corner in La Condesa & La Roma. Catalina is part of this newer outbreak of French cookeries, offering its own take on dishes from la belle France. Stepping into Catalina is a mixture of different cultures, experiences and ambiances. The seating outside follows the norm of La Roma, of happy, well-off types sipping coffee, wine, or beer, depending on the hour; the inside with its own unique scene: a Parisian look with a bright interior and elegant table settings on marble countertops; the decor following a New York aesthetic, a couple of pictures of Penn Station hanging on a bright white wall that round out a Brooklyn-like vibe; the owner sitting in the back, watching with vigilant eyes, inspecting every aspect of service. The meal, in the morning, starts with baked goods, which are made in a neighboring bakery. The conchas are flavorful albeit an odd texture, the croissants and pain aux amandes full of flakiness and buttery goodness. The breakfast menu is short but appetizing. The open faced sandwiches are one of the most delicious offerings, Pan Campesino is topped off with scrambled eggs, shaved cheeses, and seasonal mushrooms. The frittata is also a good option, served in an iron skillet with a couple of slices of artisanal bread. The often photographed Pan Francés is indeed a pretty sight. Served with a poached egg, scallions, maple syrup, and a thick slice of bacon, it is meant to portray a play of sweetness and saltiness, and although personally I am not convinced about the flavor combinations, most people crave fried chicken and waffles, so I will leave it up to those who enjoy these kind of things. It seems that gastronomes everywhere cannot get enough French food, and even though I believe Mexicans should be proud of their own cuisine and should endeavor more and more to explore the vastness and depth of Mexican gastronomy, having a piece of sweet French toast readily available is a good option to have.

But we heard the buzz about Monsieur Croque in Roma Norte, and we figured we'd test the hype. Our move? We arrived just after opening and walked right to a table, which is the only way to do it here. Don't let the size fool you--it's a small-to-medium spot, but it's a constant revolving door. People flow in, they eat, they flow out, and the line outside starts forming fast. Clearly, this place is the anchor for brunch in the neighborhood. We went with a holy trinity of items, and every one of them was operating on a level I wasn't ready for. - The Croissant'wich: The pastry was buttery and held its structure, and the filling wasn't just stuffed in--it was seriously seasoned. It was savory, rich, and exactly what you want from a brunch sandwich. - The Avocado Toast: I've had more than enough bland avo toast to last a lifetime. This one is different. The bread was robust, the toppings were generous, and the overall flavor profile was precise. They know how to use salt and pepper (and whatever else they're sprinkling on there) without overdoing it. - The French Toast: It was fluffy, tender, and achieved that rare balance where it was sweet without being syrupy or heavy (they actually use a berry compote rather than syrup). It's the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes for a second. If you're in Roma Norte and need a solid breakfast/brunch that's beyond the usual fare, hit up Monsieur Croque. Go early, grab a coffee, and get ready for a serious meal. The vibe is chill, the service is tight, and the food is pretty tasty. 4/5 stars. If you see me standing in that line next time, you know it's worth the wait.
