🍴These 12 Mexico City restaurants made the world's top 1,000 list
Here's what we thought about the 6 we've visited and whether we think the rest are worth a try
La Liste ranks the world’s restaurants based on writeups in publications, guidebooks and online reviews. They just released their 2025 list, and these 12 Mexico City restaurants made the cut.
Quintonil
Quintonil is one of the top fine-dining experiences in Mexico City. We shared a detailed review after our visit:
Pujol
Pujol is also consistently tops fine-dining lists in Mexico City. We’ve visited twice, most recently in November—the food was great, the service had a couple of glitches, and the wine was pricey. We’ll be sharing our in-depth review soon.
Guzina Oaxaca
We’ve never been to Guzina Oaxaca, probably because we don’t spend much time in Polanco—other than completing paperwork for the apartment purchase, we don’t get there much. But this place looks like it’s worth checking out if we’re in the area.
Bakéa
We also haven’t been to Bakéa, which is well to the west of Chapultepec Park and almost outside the city limits. But we’ve liked some French restaurants we’ve tried in the city and we’d like to give this one a shot.
Rosetta
We didn’t find much to like about Rosetta when we visited the first time a couple of years ago, but a second visit this year was a better experience.
Sud 777
We liked the tasting menu at Sud 777, which features Mexican ingredients with an Asian accent. And we thought it included plenty of food, but we like that they offer you an extra plate of meat, fish, or vegetables at no additional cost. It’s a bit out there, however, about 30 minutes south of the city without traffic.
Almara
We’ll have to check out the Mediterranean restaurant Almara with our friend
, who lives in the Juarez neighborhood where it’s located.Yoshimi
Yoshimi is a Japanese restaurant in Polanco, so maybe that gives us another reason to get to that neighborhood, though it’s difficult to get us to try other Japanese places when we love Gin Chan so much.
Azul Histórico
We’re fans of Azul Histórico’s sister restaurant, Azul Condesa, which prepares classic Mexican dishes like moles really well. I’d give either of them a try, depending on which neighborhood you’re in.
El Puntal del Norte
We’ll also have to add El Puntal del Norte to our list. This Spanish spot in Reforma looks stylish and interesting.
Fonda Fina
Fonda Fina is another place, like Rosetta, where one bad visit colored our experience. In this case, someone being allowed to smoke inside the restaurant. But the food and cocktails are consistently good. And we will go back.
Huset
Huset, in Roma Norte, looks charming, and we could walk to it from our apartment. I might go just to admire the twinkle lights.
Thanks to
of Broken Palate, who introduced me to La Liste’s rankings.
I'm a fan of Huset! Most of the others are only familiar to me by name...
And count me in for Almara! Sounds divine.
