This review is actually for the restaurant Carlota y Emily which is part of the Roma Quince concept…read moreestablishment. The court yard and the outdoor spaces were charming - perfect setting to take advantage of CDMX's mild weather. The only drawback was the smoking. The indoor dining rooms were just as charming. The food was excellent - modern & traditional Mexican with locally sourced ingredients and some European dishes. I had two kinds of ceviche - both with super fresh seafood, perfect mushroom soup, a charcuterie board with a glass of white wine and a bottle of mineral water. This was my one indulgent meal in CDMX. Total came out to about 875 pesos with 15% tip included. The place was relatively quiet as it was a late supper - around 3. Many people, including myself, took a leisurely time dining and the staff didn't seem to mind.
As to the shops, I've been to other places in Europe with a similar concept (each room housed products from different vendors). It's an awkward experience - since the space is small, you're in close contact with the sales person and made it difficult to linger to really get a feel for the merchandise. A little anonymity in retail is a good thing.
