Pujol

Twenty years after its opening, Pujol continues to be a benchmark of Mexican haute cuisine. Under the vision of Enrique Olvera, the restaurant has been able to reinvent itself without losing the roots of its proposal and elevate local cuisine to a sophisticated experience.

One of the ingredients of the success of this restaurant is the attention to detail, the impeccable service and its menu that changes with the seasons and makes it a must-visit if you come to the city. Among the must-try dishes we highlight the iconic Mole Madre, with more than 2,000 days of aging, and the Taco de hoja santa with pressed chicharrón. Reservations must be made in advance.

La Buena Barra

For fans of cuts of meat, the Buena Barra has everything from its famous kid, to roast suckling pig or flank steak barbecue, obviously accompanied by freshly made flour tortillas and a glass of wine selected from its extensive menu.

Its concept is a blend of sophistication with canteen accents, and its service is friendly and attentive. We recommend taking one of their tables on your terrace and enjoying a peaceful afternoon in the Polanco neighborhood. Other alternatives to taste are the shepherd’s tuna, the naked crab and the sautéed escamole filling. For dessert, a delicious coconut flan.

Casa Imperial

Tradition and flavor from breakfast, that’s what you’ll find at Casa Imperial, a restaurant that honors traditional Mexican cuisine in a warm and elegant space, located on the corner of Galileo and Emilio Casteler, in Polanco. Its proposal stands out for its homemade seasoning and a menu that celebrates authenticity.

Among its morning must-tries are the huevos rancheros over cecina quesadilla, chilaquiles with barbacoa, Oaxacan tamales and molletes, accompanied by artisan bread and coffee from Chiapas. With an ambience that evokes the salons of the Porfiriato, it is the ideal place to enjoy with family or friends. Open from 8am.

Amaral

This is the most recent gastronomic proposal of the Presidente InterContinental Hotel, which presents a renewed menu in collaboration with the Spanish group St. James, an icon of Madrid’s gastronomy. This alliance pays tribute to Spanish culinary tradition, offering tapas, Basque cake, croquettes and an outstanding variety of rice and fideuás made with St. James products.

With elegant architecture, signature mixology and a focus on sustainability, Amaral consolidates itself as a unique dining destination in Polanco, where authenticity and innovation are found in every dish. Don’t miss their mixed paella with chicken, French green beans, shrimp, mussels and squid or their seafood fideuá with shrimp and prawns, a delight!
