Chuí

Excellent in every way: the design, the food, the service, the garden. We went back three times in two weeks and enjoyed every bit. Breakfast menu is different to lunch and dinner and offers different ambiance. They even grow their own mushrooms! Congratulations to the whole team

I love the atmosphere of this place — and of course, the food is absolutely delicious! I actually didn’t want to write a review because I wanted this spot to stay a hidden gem. But it wouldn’t be fair to the team who works so hard to make this place so unique and fun.

Beautiful space with damn good food. They grow their own mushrooms 🤩 The esquites were so good I was glad to be dining alone. Well, almost - the lovely garden tables came with a few mosquitoes, but worth every bite, and we all came away having had a most delightful dinner.

This place is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of Mexico City. We went for Sunday brunch and arrived a little early, so we had to wait a few minutes for them to open. The breakfast was delicious, though the coffee was just okay; I think they could improve it. A definite highlight was their alfajor. Since they have an Argentinian influence, it's no surprise that it was absolutely delicious.

When Chui first opened, I wasn’t interested in going because I was worried about it being overpriced and overhyped. However after landing in the city on Monday night I went for a later dinner to celebrate a personal milestone and I was surprised, so much so that I went back just four days later. I sat in the actual dining space rather than the garden and still felt like it passed the vibe check. The lighting is perfect (except on the initial walkway through the garden—please add a light or two,) music is cool, and it’s fun being able to see all the things being prepared in front of you, at least from where I was sitting. Both times I sat at a table directly beside their fridge of mushrooms which kinda made me feel like I was in a sci fi movie, but I enjoyed it. The bathroom itself was clean and had pictures of dogs who’ve visited Chui which I thought was a nice touch since I’m a dog mom. All the folks working there that I interacted with were nice which is always a welcomed part of the dining experience. First night I had the milanesa de berenjena and for my bebida, la mula (a mocktail) Someone might recommend you getting multiple things (do you!) but I felt more than satisfied with this main dish. It was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and even if you eat meat, you won’t miss it. Only thing is, because of the lighting, my mustard that’s on the plate along with a pickle looked like hummus and clearly I kept forgetting it was actually mustard so it took me on an interesting journey. As a southern girl, the pure de camote was a chefs kiss. La mula was on point, flavor and presentation wise. As someone who no longer drinks alcohol, it’s nice to get a mocktail that still feels sexy and you can tell someone actually took their time creating. Last night, I had the focaccia a la Lena and hummus de zanahoria and as one person, I was completely filled up so I’m glad I didn’t add an additional item. The bread was crispy on the edges (3 large pieces) , thick and soft throughout the body and came out a lil warm. As a carb lover, no notes. The hummus was really good and I appreciate the balance of flavors, it didn’t taste like I was just eating some chickpeas and carrots mixed together. For dessert I had the torta vasca con compota de tomate y jalapeño and to be honest, I don’t know what I had been expecting, but this dessert exceeded them. I love cheesecake in general, but I’ve never had one that incorporated savory components like the tomato and jalapeño. The spice of the pepper was a nice contrast to the cheese. All in all, I recommend and I do not recommend places I don’t fully stand by. Can you probably go and spend a lot of money, yes. But you can also go, spend less, and still have an overall great time. Looking forward to trying what’s on their brunch menu in the future.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is like eating in a beautiful garden. The service was fast, professional, and friendly. We came in for an appetizer and got the avocado w/ kimchi and tiger milk and an order of focaccia. The food was absolutely incredible with new and complex flavors. The bread was soft and spongy. We washed it all down with a cold beer. This place is a must, and I'm the furthest thing from a vegetarian. **** came back and second time***** Friendly service but pressure sells and I was asked if I want to tip 20%. Not professional at all. Got the mushroom w/ chimacurri sc, only 2 small delicious mushrooms for $10 usd. The street corn app was good as was the avocado app. Server forgot the foccocia but when it came it was delicious.

This was the restaurant of my dreams! Amazing wood fired cooking with fresh vegetables, delicious flavors, and an excellent asthetic. I am in awe of the mind behind these dishes and inspired in my own cooking.

Top notch restaurant experience, no compromises. It doesn't matter if it's vegetarian, it has to be one of the best dining experiences in Mexico City right now. The environment: industrial setting with a ton of outdoors eating space, the tables in the garden felt very intimate and private, and the main dining room had a more casual feeling. The menu is simple, but every dish is perfectly crafted (most other restaurants I've tried have a few dishes i liked, and a few that were average). Some of my favorites are: the mushroom paté, the eggplant milanese, and the avocado with kimchi. Their focaccia bread was to die for. The service was awesome. Our waiter, David and Chef Rodrigo made us feel right at home during our visit. They are also dog friendly!
