"Most production and research kitchens shut down at night, but the owners of this Condesa spot are flipping the script and turning downtime into a full-blown wine bar—and it’s genius. Being here feels like you’re in someone’s intimate kitchen, making you feel like an insider from the moment you walk in for a date night. But you’ll be at ease once you peruse the menu of hard-to-find orange wines like Josko Gravner’s and modern small plates like gnocchetti with pesto. Space is limited, though. There’s only a small chef’s table inside and a handful of tables outside, so if you want to snag a seat book ahead." - Guillaume Guevara
