The Best Date Night Restaurants In Mexico City - Mexico City - The Infatuation

"If Havre 77 is where you go for date night over textbook French classics, then Cana is where to be for a more modern take. It has the charm of a European bistro, but the Mexican music playing inside the airy dining room brings you right back to CDMX. They serve up one of the best caesar salads in the city, loaded with parmesan and decadent medium-rare steak frites. You can also exchange platitudes at the bar, over at least one dirty martini or a glass of something red." - guillaume guevara

"Light-filled with a classically elegant look, Cana is at once cozy and bustling with a bistro atmosphere that is inviting yet informal. Just right for date night, it's also a perfect pick for a night out with friends. No matter what you settle on, you're sure to have a pleasant experience here.The small menu of contemporary Mexican cuisine is based on seasonal and local produce with well-presented dishes ranging from croquetas de bacalao and arroz meloso con calamar y almejas to magret de pato, zanahorias y farro and cheesecake de camembert y compota de guayaba." - Michelin Inspector

The 38 Best Restaurants in Mexico City | Eater

"Mexico City is saturated with casual bistros and wine bars, so it takes some great cooking for one to rise above. Cana, the first solo project from chef Fabiola Escobosa, offers just that, with well-tuned flavors in dishes like foie gras with pear compote, cod croquettes, chive dumplings, creamy rice with squid, and steak frites. But if you’re just looking to indulge in a burger and a house martini, Cana has your back (the burger is only available when sitting at the bar). The restaurant pulls a local crowd, and the staff are knowledgeable and familiar, making Cana a great addition to the neighborhood. Best for: Cana is one of the few restaurants in Mexico City that offers bar seating, an excellent option for solo diners or a casual business lunch." - Natalia de la Rosa

"Cana might be a European bistro, but the Mexican music playing in the airy dining room will bring you right back to CDMX. They make one of the best caesar salads in the city, and while that should definitely be part of your order, what you’re really coming here for is the big, juicy burger dripping with grease and poblano relish. It’s only served at the bar, so post up there, order at least one dirty martini or a glass of something red, and settle in for a leisurely lunch of people-watching the crowds lingering on the sidewalk." - guillaume guevara

I ate lunch here yesterday on recommendation from a friend who had been to CDMX before and it was AMAZING!!!!! CDMX has world-class food and CANA is on the list of places that makes the city renowned. I would and will absolutely return next time I am here. The pancakes were so good I forgot to take a photo, but the salad was like a piece of art so luckily I snapped a photo before eating the whole thing. 10/10.

We went to CANA for New Year’s dinner. It was a fixed menu of 7 courses for MXN 3200 per person. Once the reservation was made it was not possible to modify or cancel without forfeiting the entire amount. When we arrived our table was ready and we were promptly seated. The host advised us there was a strict 2 hour policy and we would have to leave after 2 hours which is understandable on a busy night. Overall the food was very good although one of the salad courses was very acidic and difficult to eat). Initially the courses came out very quickly (3 within 20 minutes) and started to back up on our small table. I had to tell the waiter to please pace the courses better as we felt very rushed and were not able to enjoy this very expensive meal. We had to ask our waiter 3 times that we’d like to order a bottle of champagne and finally the sommelier came by and suggested a champagne that was supposedly ‘very good for the price point’. It was ok but not worth MXN 2400. The staff were all very helpful and kind. The atmosphere was wonderful for a special New Year’s dinner. Overall we enjoyed the experience but felt it needed a bit more polish especially since it has a Michelin recommendation. I don’t think we’d be back given there are so many options in CDMX.

Cana exceeded all of our expectations and is a Juarez gem rightly deserving of being Michelin Recommended. We ordered far too much—assuming it was small, tapas style plates—but the Manager was gracious enough to let us know we ordered too much and made his personal recommendations. The Melon, Persimmon, Pistachio and Herbs dish was sensational and can't stop raving about the Duck Confit.

Cana - a fantastic chic yet cosy restaurant in one of my favourite neighbourhoods - east Juarez. the chef, Fabiola, has an amazing pedigree - having worked at Estela in New York and Pujol in Mexico City. great service, delicious dishes and super cocktails and wines.

I've been to Cana twice in the past few months. Both times were a delight. On my first visit I had the steak frites which was very tasty. The steak was cooked perfectly and was served with what I believe was a red wone reduction. On my second visit I had duck which was also quite delicious. I had the chocolate mousse for desert and it was heavenly. The serving size of the mousse was only a large spoonful, but it was so rich and delicious it was plenty. The serviced and ambience is also outstanding. I will certainly be returning for more visits.

Give this little gem of a place a try - i wouldn't be surprised if it gets an official michelin nod (not just a guide rec) soon. The food was beautifully presented and the service was warm, friendly, and efficient. Some of the best "on it" yet relaxed service I've had. Two of us shared the parsnips dumplings (dumplings de chirivia) They kindly asked if we wanted 4 instead of the usual 3 it comes with to make it easier to share - i appreciated that gesture. Tbe dumplings were a touch sweet- but underatandable for parsnips- but the salty yet clean tasting dashi broth balanced it out. For mains, I had the arroz de chanterelles, and my boyfriend had the lamb ribs. I'm taking off 1 star because though everything was cooked and presented to perfection, both of our mains were sweet in a way that did not seem balanced or match the meal. Did the salt and sugar get switched? The drinks were delicious- the tepeche was a unique pineapple liquor based drink and the margarita was fresh and clean in flavor. The ambience is inviting and casual, elevated without being stuffy.

I had an excellent lunch here with polite, professional service. Servers all speak English and menus are in English. I sat at the bar but there are many table choices including outdoor dining. Limited wine by the glasschoices; 2 of each kind and a bit pricey. I started with French onion soup and although it took 30 minutes to arrive, it was delicious. Then I had steak Tartare, super fresh, perfectly seasoned, came with warm toast. I enjoyed this leisurely lunch very much. Highly recommended.

Cana delivered an excellent dining experience, every dish, from starters to desserts, was truly delicious. The food is definitely the highlight and makes the visit worth it. The restaurant is set inside a converted house with a large circular bar that takes up most of the main room, leaving limited and somewhat tight seating around it. The bathrooms felt a bit dark and gave the impression of not being thoroughly clean, and that same sense of needed upkeep applies to the dining room overall. Service was good and functional. Despite the space feeling small and slightly cramped, the quality of the food surpasses everything else. I would absolutely return for the flavors alone.
