21 Classic Restaurants In Mexico City
"Since La Taberna del León relocated from Valle de Bravo to Mexico City in 1994, it has proven that international cuisine can be bright and sophisticated, going beyond cliché. Their Mexican family recipes—like bean soup or bite-size chicken tostadas—European dishes, and seasonal specialties stand out, enhanced by the beautiful Victorian house setting. Throughout the years, the restaurant has upheld high standards for both food and service, leaning into forgotten courtesies like complimentary slices of bread and butter at the start of the meal. If you can, sit at the bar, one of the most striking spots in the house, for a cocktail before or after your meal." - mariana camacho
