Filigrana

I have to say that this is probably the best food experience that I have ever had. Every dish had nuances and flavors that were a mixture of surprise and delight. Service was excellent as we were made to feel like we were VIP’s. My only minor criticism was that the menu was a little confusing at first, but our group ordered a wide variety and literally every single dish was mindblowing, from the appetizers to the desserts. I would highly recommend. Get your reservations in advance because this restaurant is going places.

Just finished an amazing meal here. Had multiple “wow” moments for flavors I’ve never tasted before. Service was impeccable. We loved the pork and short rib tacos in the appetizers! They came with some of the best sauces I’ve ever had. We also loved the cauliflower and chicken mole main courses. Super delicious, piping hot, and flavorful. I’m not much of a cocktail drinker, but ordered some of their specials, and were surprised how good they were. All in all, one of the best places I ate in CDMX!

Excellent food! Probably best described as innovative contemporary Mexican, you had all the traditional flavours but mixed in an unexpected way. As with every restaurant in Mexico, the service is exceptional.

We went for brunch, it was great. Upon being seated you are offered a selection of donuts…can’t go wrong with any pick! Food service was very prompt and our main course was excellent. We both had Chilaquiles. I had green sauce and my wife had the red. Very flavorful and filling. Brunch was reasonably priced!

This was our 5th and final night in Mexico City. Every dinner had been special. We knew we would enjoy Filigrana, but we were blown away by a truly magical experience. The staff is so proactively attentive and friendly. The space is lovely, stylish but not pretentious. And of course, the food… as is to be expected of a restaurant of this kind, the subtle mixing of flavors, the layered pairings of those flavors and the accompanying textures, simply magical. Add in the playful whimsy of some of the arrangements/presentations and I can’t imagine walking away unsatisfied. Definitely make a reservation and let the staff treat you to something special.

Outstanding, simply outstanding service. Had a solo lunch on Easter and the personnel was so kind and attentive. They truly recommended the best dishes (one not on the menu) and surprised me with a selection of Mexican sweets at the end. Highly recommend their tropical beverages to enjoy under the indoor tree.

"Thank you! You are the best" read the note our eight-year-old daughter wrote the server in Spanish after dining at this Michelin star restaurant. As an aspiring restaurant owner, our daughter was inspired by the decor, service, food, and drink. Everything was flawless. Her parents agree. After dining here during Holy Week in 2025, here's our experience. 1) Food: Literally every dish was superb from the starters (guacamole, potato croquettes, and tropical tuna ceviche) to the main (beets and the steak) to the dessert (corn cake and coconut flan). The combo of flavors popped in every dish and came out beautifully plated. The guacamole in particular is the best we've ever had. There are a few food surprises throughout like the sweet and savor breads that came out in shapes of the sun and a horse before the main course. At the end, a whimsical plate of Mexican candies came out on a cake platter with the bill. 2) Drink: The cocktails and wine list are perfect. So much so that it will set you up for a dilemma on which to order. If you like a little more sweet, order the Tequila Dulce Pastria. It's refreshing too! I also ordered a glass of the Mexican Sauvignon blanc. It's sweet, but very unique and tasty. 3) Service: It was divine from start to finish. Even when we got up, someone was there to pull back our chair. Timing of the courses was spot on. Service is attentive and friendly. 4) Space: It's gorgeous with quirky murals inside, green tile, plants/a tree, red brick, and more. Your eyes wander for days inside.

I had the honor of dining at Filigrana while visiting Mexico City for the first time. was it the impeccable service? the stunning decor? the humbly elevated bite of each dish? the perfection of an experience in which every aspect of one’s senses are engaged so fully? my dearest friends and i enjoyed every moment of every bite. tears of joy were shed. what a beautiful taste of how sweet this life is - bright, charred, light, dark, sweet, salty….plates of perfection! an unforgettable experience. thank you, Chef!
