Adonis - Review - Polanco - Mexico City - The Infatuation

"Thanks to its large Lebanese community, the city has a variety of fantastic Lebanese joints, like Adonis. This spot opened in 1974 and feels like hitting rewind to another era—it’s full of arched doorways and windows, traditional art, and even a small aquarium, and is a great place to take family or a group of friends. The food is Lebanese classics that always ensure you leave happy. Kick things off with the plato libanés, a generous spread of hummus, labneh, baba ganoush, tabouleh, stuffed grape leaves, and kibbeh, before moving on to the spiced beef kafta wrapped in pita, or their famous chicken with rice in a rich pine nut and almond sauce. It’s all made even better by some mint tea, or a slightly strong Kes’Arak cocktail with fig arak and macerated grapes." - Guillaume Guevara
