The Best Places in Nva Anzures & around

  1. The pescado a la talla arrives split down the middle, one half painted red, the other green, which is either very festive or very patriotic depending on your mood. This Roma seafood restaurant from Gabriela Cámara holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and has been packing in the city's art crowd and extended-lunch faithful for years. By Friday afternoon the rosé is flowing and nobody is leaving anytime soon. Reservations are not optional.



  2. Rank 3. Galea

    Italian

    A corner spot in Roma Norte with a terrace out front and a wood-lined interior that splits the difference between a Roman trattoria and something newer. Galea is a small, easygoing Italian restaurant with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, where the menu stays focused and the pasta comes in half portions so you can order two without the guilt. Daily specials and crudo are worth asking about, and the locally priced tabs explain why the regulars are always already there.




  3. Rank 4. Havre 77

    French




  4. Rank 9. BAJEL

    Contemporary Mexican

    Inside the Sofitel on Reforma, Bajel runs two tasting menus of contemporary Mexican cooking inside a room where the open kitchen is very much part of the show. The French hotel might greet you with a bonsoir, but the menu corrects course immediately. A white mole made from 25 ingredients arrives with a card listing all of them, which is either endearing or a lot, depending on your mood.


  5. Rank 9. Baldío

    Mexican

    The menus print on paper made from recycled corn husks, which tells you everything about where this zero-waste Mexican restaurant's head is at. Inspired by London's Silo, the chef runs a tasting menu (or à la carte) built around chinampa vegetables and freshwater fish, with in-house water purification rounding out the commitment. The cooking is precise enough that the philosophy never feels like the main course.


  6. Rank 9. Lorea

    Mexican

    The name is the Basque word for flower, which sets the tone for a fine dining room in Roma Norte where a single seasonal tasting menu drifts from Mexican roots toward wherever the chef's curiosity leads. Multi-level, wood-tabled, and quiet enough to hear yourself think, with the chef's counter as the obvious place to sit. The kitchen runs clean and calm, and the menu changes enough that regulars keep showing up.


  7. Rank 12. Almara

    Mexican

  9. Smoke from the wood grill drifts across the open-air terrace before you've even sat down, which tells you most of what you need to know about this rooftop restaurant in Roma Norte. The menu is short and Mexican, built around whatever's coming off those embers, and a Michelin Bib Gourmand keeps the prices from matching the view. Grab a bar seat if you can and watch the grill up close while the cocktails arrive.

  10. Rank 15. Bella Aurora

    Contemporary Italian

    The pink facade on Calle de Puebla gives away nothing except that someone here has good taste. Bella Aurora is an all-day Italian spot in Roma Norte, from the same team behind Rosetta and Lardo, and it runs from breakfast pastries through pasta lunches to full dinners without ever feeling like it's trying too hard. The room is green and airy, the crowd is local and unhurried, and the tiramisu is a reasonable argument for skipping the main course entirely.

  11. Rank 15. Casona Roma Norte

    Contemporary Mexican

    A floral mural climbs one wall and live greenery fills another at Aquiles, the all-day dining room inside this Roma Norte hotel. It skews contemporary Mexican, with dinner being the main event and a short, confident à la carte that moves from tortilla soup to braised short rib. The burger is exactly what a good hotel restaurant owes you. Weekends add breakfast and lunch to the mix.

  12. Rank 18. Taquería Orinoco

    Late-Night Mexican

    Taquería Orinoco is a late-night taco counter in Hipódromo, which is to say it does its best work after the nearby bars have finished with you. The tacos de chicharrón come soft in the middle and seared at the edge, a texture most pork rinds never get to experience. The al pastor draws the loudest opinions, and the cheap, quick, standing-up format means nobody lingers to argue them past 2 a.m.





  13. Rank 19. Ficelle

    French Bakery



  14. Rank 19. Maleza

    Mexican


  15. Amber light, tall ceilings, and a menu that has no business being in the Juárez neighborhood, in the best possible, wait, simply: Indian food done this carefully is rare anywhere. Maza Bistrot is a compact bistro where biryani arrives baked under pastry and mussels come with rasam instead of white wine. French touchstones appear here and there, but northwestern India is the main argument. In a city where the high end keeps rerunning Mexican and Mediterranean hits, this one is quietly doing something different.


  16. Rank 19. Nadefo

    Korean Barbecue
















  17. Rank 41. Cantón Mexicali

    Mexicali Chinese

    Cantón Mexicali is a Chinese restaurant in Roma that still looks like it's waiting on a 1995 wedding banquet, mostly because the new owners had the good sense to leave the decor alone. The cooking now leans Mexicali-style, which means fried shrimp in a sweet and sour chipotle salsa sharing a table with dan dan noodles and cold Tsingtaos. Younger regulars fill in around the loyal holdovers, and nobody seems to mind the carpet.


  18. Rank 41. El Jamil

    Lebanese


  19. Rank 41. Fideo Gordo

    Japanese Noodle Shop


  20. Rank 41. La Pezciosa

    Taqueria


  21. Pollos Poncho is a casual Roma spot where the whole menu answers to one bird. The chicken shows up in a grilled flour tortilla sandwich with labneh, and in tacos al pastor, where it stands in for the pork without apology. The move is a late lunch with the whole roasted chicken, rice, potatoes, guacamole, and fresh tortillas. The same people run the El Moro churro empire, so short menus are their native language.


  22. Rojo Bistrot is a corner French bistro in Condesa where Amélie posters and vintage Perrier ads cover the walls, in case you forgot what country you were pretending to be in. The menu runs on duck, escargots, and onion soup under a lid of melted cheese. Younger locals share the room with ladies in pearls and Chanel-ish jackets, and jazzy pop covers keep things low enough for conversation. Dinner here costs less than a flight to Lyon.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
