For nearly our entire trip to CDMX, we were plagued by rain, but on this morning, the rain was holding off so we opted to sit in the Backyard's lovely outdoor space. It has great plant content, by the way! Since it was mid-morning, we stuck to brunch. I ordered a breakfast burger, delicious! The slabs of sliced meat were hearty! The most exciting part of my meal was my pumpkin spice latte. Please see my image for reference. They served it in a tiny pumpkin. I'm easily delighted, but this takes the cake. So adorable and even more than that, super warm and comforting. The staff was lovely and we ended our meal just as it began to rain, so perfect timing.

I thought my rancheros del ojo was good (not great, but fine). My husband didn't like his meal though. So at the cost of 800 mxn (about $40 USD right now), I don't think it was worth it. The server actually recommended some of the American dishes for breakfast, so this place may be best for just juices, smoothies, açaí bowls, and pancakes, etc. But the Mexican dishes were just okay overall. The space is beautiful though! There's a patio for warm days and lots of seating, including upstairs. Their fresh juices were great as well.

This meant that if I wanted late night vibes, I was going to walk into Juarez. And more often than not, I'd find myself at Cicatriz, chatting with Dan behind the bar. Dan is the man -- chill vibes, always down to chat, and you wouldn't know it, but he's also a very talented skate photographer. I'd usually start with a Yoko, which is their take on an Aperol Spritz -- with Mezcal. Amazing. They have a fantastic selection of artisanal mezcals as well--served with oranges and sal gusano--and there's always a can of beer on the cheap to go with it. A few times they had cute female vinyl DJs spinning Italo Disco. I went to Cicatriz more than any other place in the two weeks I spent in Mexico City. It became a comfortable desintation. The Avena is delicious in the morning and their coffee is bomb. The Sandwich de Pollo Frito will raise your spirits and lunch or dinner time and the Tostada de Ricotta was satisfying too. And being on Glorieta Plaza Washington, you can watch an abundance of humanity moving through the city as you chill and enjoy the scene. All in all, Cicatriz gets my highest recommendation. Thanks Dan and crew...you made my stay awesome.

They pride themselves on an elegant atmosphere, polished service, and fine dining, and to be fair, they deliver on the vibe. You feel like a bigshot the moment you walk in. The servers are friendly and professional, and the menu, while notably expensive overall, focuses heavily on high-end steaks and classic sides. We didn't order steak, as the prices were well beyond what we wanted to spend, so we opted for the dry-aged burger at around $24 USD. We also ordered grilled asparagus, and the burger came with truffle fries. The asparagus was quite good. The fries were decent. The burger, however, was dry, bland, and a bit tough, and it arrived overcooked despite ordering it medium. There was also an issue with the wine menu. When presented with options, the more economical bottles (still $60 usd) we asked about never seemed to be available, while plenty of alternatives at roughly double the price were readily available. That was odd notably because the menu was electronic... Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. It's a lovely place, and it's perfectly suited for a drink and maybe an appetizer if you're looking for atmosphere. Just be prepared to pay for the experience itself. If you are, you'll probably have a good time. If not, you may leave feeling a bit soured. Happy eating from John Seeto!

We capped our trip to this fair country with a visit to (of course) Capital Grille. You know with…read morethe extra "e" in Grill you're not in Providence RI (yes founded 1990 if you can believe it). But the service and ambiance had all the hallmarks of top-of-brand. Firstly, don't expect to escape this establishment without a much lighter wallet, so cash in some of those stocks around the roundabout at the Mexican Stock Exchange and go for food-broke! Our waiter was a master at several things: among them the upsell. I nearly skipped the appetizer until he informed of the "half cup" of soup. A finished creamy clam chowder later, I was admiring my choice and his skilled power of suggestion. Wait! Is that truffle I see multiple times on the menu? One day I'll order 100% truffle items, but I was with a business group, so I'd better act all businessy. "Hey any of you up for 100% truffle?" (I said in my head). If only! Maybe I'll find another business group to hang with. I hear Truffle Co is hiring (I wouldn't last a week). Back to the main event. I of course got the truffle mushroom risotto, and here comes Mr Upsell back for the win: "you would certainly like prawns with that." But of course. I know I should have gotten steak, but I was finishing a long week of meat-indulging, so I needed a reprieve. I was so healthy with seared spinach instead of creamed. But as usual the sides are enormous, so soon I was passing that and receiving Mac-n-cheese and truffle fries. This meal is turning out to be healthy! Everybody's steak looked fabulous, as did the fish, and whatever else anybody got, etc. My "dessert splitting" compadre didn't disappoint, and we got the crème brûlée, which was as it should be (and big enough for three). That and a cappuccino put me into the happiness zone. Perhaps I'll return soon, not that I wouldn't go back tomorrow, it's just I probably need to wait for my stocks to come back up a little before the next visit.

This restaurant was just a short walk from my hotel in Roma Norte-along the walk I think I counted 4 or 5 Michelin rated restaurants on my path-they are everywhere in Mexico City. When we arrived at the restaurant they seated us right away and I noticed how great the atmosphere was in the restaurant-this was for sure a date night or celebratory type of place-I wouldn't say fancy or upscale but definitely a step up from my restaurants I went to so far in Mexico City. Upon sitting down we started with a couple of really pretty cocktails-. Strawberry Fields-A gin drink that is a refreshing twist on a Negroni-I enjoyed it very much and may have been the best cocktail I had in Mexico City.($185.00) Margarita De Perlas-a tequila drink with lime and orange infusion topped with pearls of tapioca-It was a great spin on a margarita with the added slightly sweet taste of tapioca pearls-decent drink.($220.00) For dinner we ordered a few items. Bowie Burger-a burger featuring a top sirloin and wagyu cross patty topped with Swiss cheese,roasted poblanos,bacon,guacamole and tortilla chips-This burger was so delicious-perfectly cooked and seasoned,so juicy-it was spicy but incredibly flavorful -loved it.($275.00) Curly Fries-Perfectly seasoned,super crunchy-very tasty ($85.00) Caesar Salad-well made salad with great tasting dressing and crunchy croutons.($130.00) This place is a very special restaurant in a city that is filled with special restaurants-I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mexico City,specifically the Roma Norte neighborhood-a true joy.

So I had to look up reviews to make sure this was the hanky panky. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to get us a table for 6 since it was probably close to midnight and upon last call.
