The 38 Best Restaurants in Mexico City | Eater

"Taverna sits in a restored townhouse built in 1906 on Juarez’s General Prim Street. After years of family inheritance disputes, neighborhood disarray, and neglect, the property was eventually acquired and restored by Archipiélago restaurant group to house a Mediterranean-inspired spot. The food does deliver — but it’s almost beside the point. Most people come for the candlelit setting, which blends vintage details, greenery, and fine tableware into a kind of elegant ramshackle vibe. Needless to say, pin Taverna for a romantic dinner. The menu offers smoked and fire-cooked dishes like whole fish with potatoes and citrus salad or roasted cauliflower with mustard cream. The space also includes cozy lounges to enjoy a cocktail or two, with options like aged Negronis or dirty martinis. Best for: The restaurant is a good fit for larger celebrations." - Natalia de la Rosa
