So good we had to come twice!!! Our favorite chilaquiles of our trip and the pan dulce were amazing! There is always a crowd but for a good reason! The food is amazing, service is great, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is so cute. Perfect place to eat breakfast in Condesa! read more

Maybe Lardo is better for breakfast, but we didn't feel it was fully worth the hype for lunch. We'd made a reservation in advance for Saturday at 2PM. The interior was brightly lit with a large beautiful bar, and had the vibe of a French cafe. We were brought out some complimentary (pita-like) bread, which was nice, but would have been better with something like olive oil to dip it in. My friend and I ordered 3 items to share - the Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms, Eggplant Parmesan, and Barbacoa. Portions were on the smaller side, but this was the perfect food quantity for us. The Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms were fine but a little bland. I liked the Eggplant Parmesan and Barbacoa, but neither really blew my mind. For everything I'd heard about Lardo, I felt like our experience was good but not amazing. Would check it out for breakfast to compare! read more

This was, unfortunately, my worst meal in CDMX, and because it was also my most anticipated, that made it extra disappointing. We arrived a little early for our Monday night reservation and had to wait outside since they were busy. The ambiance inside is intimate- definitely a date-night vibe with tables very close together. We ordered the pizza, stuffed squash blossoms, kebab taco, and truffle gnocchi. The stuffed squash blossoms ended up being the most flavorful dish of the night- and that's not saying much, because most of the flavor came from the tomato sauce. The pizza was good, but nothing special. It was satisfying in a "carbs will save me" kind of way. We ordered the kebab taco cooked medium, but mine came out medium rare. If this were a steak, I wouldn't have minded, but ground beef at that temperature carries a food safety risk. After reading multiple reviews about people getting sick here, I wasn't comfortable taking that chance. I asked for it to be recooked, and the waitress was kind and brought out a fresh plate. It was decent, but again, nothing special. The truffle gnocchi was where things really went downhill. When it hit the table, it smelled like mildew. I know truffle can be strong and earthy, but this didn't seem right. I forced myself to take one bite so I wasn't judging off smell alone, but it tasted exactly how it smelled. My friend and I didn't even eat 1/8 of the dish, and it was the most expensive item we ordered. Low key felt like our waitress should've asked why we didn't eat the dish nor ask for it to be boxed but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The dessert, however, was the best thing I had all night. Truly divine. Now I can't tell if it was actually top-tier or if I was just so hungry and desperate for something good that it felt that way in the moment- but either way, it was the one bright spot. Overall, it just didn't live up to the hype which made it sting even more. read more

Unfortunately not great. We came in for dinner due to hearing great things and it being a gorgeous space. Service was good and attentive but unfortunetly thats where the good kind of ended. We planned on staying for a full dinner but after ordering the hummus, burrata and squash blossoms we were so underwhelmed we immedatley left. The food wasnt bad in terms of it tasting bad it just tasted like nothing, each dish we got was virtually flavorless. The bottle of wine we got was great but outside of that the food was truly not good. We wanted to love Lardo and I am sure it is great due to all the great reviews however our experience wasn't such. I would give them another shot next time I am in CDMX but my advice would be to avoid the appetizers at least. read more

Lardo - eggs, bacon, and parmesan - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ciudad de México, DIF

We loved Lardo, a nice stroll from our Parque Mexico flat. This is the type of place you can find in any city and it will always draw a crowd due to the comfortable yet bougie devour and menu with endless appealing choices. Service was excellent and it was fun to watch each table enjoying themselves. All different languages being spoken. The menu... wow.. and the pastries, we skipped but really considered for a moment. We split a corn cake that was excellent and an egg bowl with calabaza(squash blossoms) and spinach. Delicious coffee, my mint green tea has pinoli nuts in the pot. Best to go early and during the week, as with so many places. But you still might wait. After, we walked over to Chapultepec Park and enjoyed the day there. read more

I guess it's know for breakfast but we had the best dinner there last night. We were at first bummed we had to sit at the bar (party of five) but it turned out to be the best seats in the house. I started with a wonderful glass of Montepulciano. Then I ordered the black rice and crab croquettes. So delicious. I shared the heirloom tomato salad and it was absolutely perfect. I then had the eggplant parmesan. Wow so good. We shared two desserts....carrot cake and sticky toffee pudding. We were so full but we watched the dessert being made in front of us the whole night and we couldn't resist. Yum! Shout out to Florencio for being so wonderful and contributing to our favorite meal in Mexico City! read more

Lardo - The menu so I could remember what we ordered! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ciudad de México, DIF

Our plans revolved around Mexican food but we found Lardo to be one of the only early breakfast options close to us. We got a table easily shortly after 8 am -- but I think there's often a wait during more "normal" hours. The restaurant is very well decorated and pretty large for the area. We got a corner table with a view out the French doors. Even the bathroom is cute and well appointed! There was a pretty extensive drink menu from coffees and juices to more unusual juice mixes. They also have alternative milk options. I got a mocha and it was delicious and rich without being overly sweet. Several in our party had egg options and raved about them. As they're known for pastries, I ordered a fig croissant and a cardamom bun. There were so many options! The fig croissant was a nice croissant with a fig jam along the bottom layer, but the cardamom bun was the star. I regret that I can't get more! We didn't come back for other meals as we wanted to try a lot of places, but I'd happily eat here multiple times a week. read more

This is one of the top 3 meals I've had in my life. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is one of the most delicious breakfasts I've ever had. Their scrambled eggs are velvety smooth and paired with crunchy yet springy sourdough and tender bacon. Additionally, their pastries are crafted to perfection. The sweetness of the croissant was spot on and it was flaky and buttery as could be. Genuinely, this place develops a depth of flavor I've never experienced before and it's perfectly representative of what a CDMX cafe/brunch experience should be. In addition to the high quality food, the service is incredibly kind, accommodating, and quick. Though it was busy, we were seated and served swiftly without feeling rushed. The entire dining experience felt relaxing and energizing at the same time. The restaurant vibes are calm yet bustling and the ambience is spacious and beautiful decorated with fauna. I want to have breakfast here every day. You cannot miss an opportunity to try Lardo if you're in CDMX. GO HERE 1000% read more

After seeing so many TikToks about this place, my sister really wanted to try it out for herself. It can be moderately difficult to get a reservation, so I definitely recommend scheduling one at least a few days in advance. However, my party of four arrived around 12 pm to try to walk in, and we only waited about 20 minutes before being seated. Once we sat down, we realized the menu was breakfast-based instead of their usual dinner menu. The breakfast options were a bit ordinary, but we still found things that appealed to us. My sister and I started with some pastries, including the guava roll and the leek and goat cheese bun. The guava was perfectly sweet, and the leek and goat cheese filling was savory and addicting, especially for someone like me who naturally prefers savory foods. The pastry dough itself was great too, super flaky and fluffy at the same time. The drinks, on the other hand, were nothing special. I ordered the grapefruit juice, and I highly recommend that no one ever order it. It was incredibly bitter and genuinely unpleasant to drink. The carrot, jicama, and ginger juice tasted like one of those wellness shots you'd get from a health bar in California. The coconut macadamia and cardamom drink tasted like holiday almond milk, which I actually kind of enjoyed, especially since it's the holiday season. I originally wanted to try the buttermilk and sweet potato hotcakes, but they had already run out, so I settled for the green chilaquiles with a fried egg instead. I was disappointed when it came without the burrata that the menu promised, and overall it was a pretty standard chilaquiles dish. The cactus pieces didn't do anything for me, but I did appreciate the addition of avocado since I'm a huge avocado lover. While I do think this restaurant has potential, I wouldn't recommend for anyone to visit when their breakfast/lunch menu is active since it is pretty standard with options that could be found at other typical brunch restaurants. If I could, I would come back again to try their dinner venue since I've heard so many good things about it. read more

One of the best brunch places near Roma Norte in Mexico City A lot of good options and their egg dishes are excellent He started off with their natural juices, green juice, the coconut juice and the orange juice, and also the fruit oat and yogurt pudding And then we tried some heuvos rancheros and fried egg dishes, which were all really good Their shakshuka is really good and their guava bread is excellent Coffees are really good too It's rated very high and so there is a lot of folks on the weekend which could lead to a 20 to 30 minute wait They also make sure that they give you refreshments outside or when you're waiting so you could order a little bit ahead of time A lot of seating inside ,near the bar and outside as well Service was good read more

Don't skip on the pizza here! Very impressed by the pizza, especially the spicy salami pizza. I love the thin crust dough, and the fact that the pizza portion is small which mean you get to enjoy more dishes! The rabbit pasta was not memorable and probably worth skipping. Burrata appetizer was good, tho it lacked a bit of salt to bring out the flavors. Croquette appetizer was delicious. The sticky toffee dessert was our favorite. Not a big fan of the soursop and plum dessert unfortunately as the flavors didn't work well together. Would come back again just for the pizza. read more

Ohhhh Lardo....what can I say. Let's start by the fact that before I even knew they were a restaurant, I had already taken a video of their exterior because I was so enchanted by their overgrown plants. We had walked all around the La Condesa neighborhood and had quickly fallen in love with the area. We decided to come back in the morning to try out breakfast. A couple espressos and some suggestions from the server and we were in heaven. I don't think you can go wrong with anything they have here. My only regret about my visit to CDMX was that we weren't able to make it to Laredo's sister restaurant, Rosetta. As I seem to be saying a lot about my trip to Mexico City, we'll have to try that the next time we go back. read more

La pasta esta de no mames lon demás estaba buenero, me pide escribir mas, pero calate la pura pasta vale la pena ir

Been here a couple times now for breakfast on my last two trips to Mexico City, and as the reviews say it's a popular spot so expect a line but it's not much of a wait on a weekday and looks like you can easily make reservations for dinner. If there is a wait, you can order coffee and pastries at the window while you wait to hold you over but luckily I've never had to use that. Last time we were able to sit immediately, order and eat within 45 minutes. I usually have pretty slim options for brunch, since I can't eat gluten or eggs, which was true for this spot but the chilaquiles here fit the bill and taste great. I love their fresh juices as well! Great place to refuel and start your day if you're not super rushed. It's a cute spot with tables and counter seating. I haven't tried dinner, but it seems to lean more Mediterranean than traditional. Quality ingredients and vibes good for dates and small groups. read more

Lardo was a cute lunch/brunch spot in the heart of La Condesa, which is a fun neighborhood to explore before or after your meal. Lardo is known for its Mediterranean food being cooked in a wood burning oven, and while we didn't feel the food was spectacular, it was pretty good. The complementary naan-type bread they served was actually one of our favorite bites of the meal. We also really enjoyed the pappardelle ragu and baba ganoush. read more

We had a fantastic experience at Lardo! The cuisine was absolutely delicious -- we shared the spicy salami pizza, a wagyu burger, the lardo bread, mango cheesecake, and a beautifully done deconstructed carrot cake. Everything was packed with flavor, but the mango cheesecake was my personal favorite -- so creamy and refreshing! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience with both bold flavors and warm service. The hours were a little odd ... they wouldn't seat anyone for a period of time between brunch and lunch. So double check. read more

My friend and I loved the atmosphere at Lardo where we're surrounded by lush foliage. The inside felt a bit darker than what I'm used to so we felt a bit sleepier as a result, but loved all the details (such as the plates and the rosemary water) of the restaurant. We ordered the eggplant with burrata, black rice with crab, and the cuddlefish. We would 100% get the black rice with crab and cuddlefish again as they were both very flavorful and obtained great textures. I'd personally pass on the eggplant. The service was also great. They provided free fresh bread with spicy and oily seasoning! read more

Where does one start! WOW! Blown away by the food and hospitality of this space! I'm very sad we were not hungry enough to order more food (after a long day of CDMX eats - IYKYK!) We ordered their lamb kebab which I must warn is not what we'd call kebab in the states however that is irrelevant because it was the best lamb I've ever had! We also got the tomatoes and buratta salad which was a great juxtaposition to the rich and flavorful lamb dish. For dessert - because it's a sin to skip (look it up) we got the Mill Hojas Zanahoria (mille-feuille carrot cake) and it is, hands down, the best dessert I've had in at least the last five years! The cardamom ice cream on top is the perfect balance for the sweet but flavorfully cake with so much texture. You'll never want traditional carrot cake again! I truly cannot speak highly enough about the staff, they were sweet and on top of absolutely everything! It was like they were mind readers, they knew exactly what to do at the exactly when to do it. Class act, truly. An absolute must when in CDMX read more

This place was very overhyped. It has American prices in a city where I had much better food for a lot less. We tried the burrata, the calabasitas, the ham and cheese fritters.

We finally got to visit this spot during our vacay and it did not disappoint! We went for a weekday breakfast. The hubby and I walked up and saw a line, but a very nice fellow patron let us know that the line was for takeout orders of coffee and pastry. We only had to wait about 10 minutes for two bar seats. Our server was very sweet and patient. I ordered a cappuccino mocha and the hubby ordered a plain cappuccino - amazing coffee drinks that rival any I've ever had. The mocha cappuccino was actually the best I've ever had. For our mains, the hubby had Fried egg, spicy salami, and avocado over a slice of toasted sourdough, and I had saffron risotto with scrambled eggs, olives, and pinenut. Our dishes were amazingly delicious, but my saffron dish was exquisite. It was also a beautiful dish. Some fellow patrons actually asked me what I was eating because my food was so pretty. Of course, we also had to each try a pastry because everyone raves over the pastries here. We devoured a vanilla and sugar berliner, as well as their famous guava roll. Both pastries were packed with flavor, well balanced and not overly sweet like most pastries in the states. The outside seating area is pretty and the inside is just as pretty as a local cafe can possibly get. The restaurant was very cozy and we were chatted up by several patrons - some visitors like us and some locals. The ambiance simply added to the "excellent eats." If you're in the area, stop by. I can't wait to try their lunch and dinner next time I'm in town. read more

Lardo was a great experience for dinner. The servers were all very friendly although they did get pretty busy. The food was all pretty good with dessert standing out. The beet and endive salad was also refreshing. The ricotta stuffed squash blossom was tasty but felt a little bland. The grilled octopus had an interesting peanut sauce that seemed conflicting and the octopus itself wasn't that fresh and kind of mushy. Our favorite thing was definitely the carrot cake mille feuille with tarragon ice cream. The ice cream was very unique. Overall, a great vibe at night. read more

My favorite brunch in Mexico City! I'm posting this review four years later, and I still remember how cold it was the day we ate here in early January. Hence, the obligatory bowl of soup. I also ate squash blossoms every single day I was in Mexico City, and this version with ricotta was my favorite. Note: This is a Mediterranean restaurant, so I would suggest coming with the expectation to experience a Mediterranean restaurant with Mexican influences and not the other way around. My friends and I mostly ate family style at Lardo. We checked out two iconic taco spots in Mexico City shortly afterwards. :) read more
