"Máximo Bistrot in Roma is kind of French, kind of Mexican, and one of the best spots in town for a hot date or group dinner. It’s a fun, atrium-like space with great cocktails and an equally fantastic wine list, and they do delicious spins on dishes you’ve seen before, like a caesar salad with homemade headcheese. You can go à la carte, but there’s also a nine-course tasting menu, and definitely add that wine pairing. If you’re in the mood for a nightcap after your meal, Bar Las Brujas is just a quick walk away, though you’ll want to make a reservation in advance (so plan accordingly)." - guillaume guevara
"Before Roma became crowded with restaurants, Máximo was already there: a petite bistro spotlighting seasonal ingredients cooked with perfect French-American technique (and sometimes lots of butter). Fame arrived quickly, and eventually, they moved to a larger space on Álvaro Obregón, and their prices increased considerably. However, the commitment to using the best available ingredients and maintaining rich flavors remains unchanged. Dishes like the onion with comté cheese and cruffin showcase their confidence in both approach and quality products. They often feature a delicious chicken dish worth trying, as well as pastas with rich, slow-cooked sauces that’ll leave you eager to lick your plate. For first-timers, roll with the nine(ish)-course tasting menu." - mariana camacho
