Olivea and Lunario Earn Michelin Stars in Mexico’s Valle de Guadalupe | Eater San Diego

"Awarded its first Michelin star in the latest guide (Mexico City)." - Bill Esparza

"While the bones of its industrial past are present, this chic Roma Norte restaurant's gorgeous space boasts white brick, tile, and soaring ceilings. It's breezy and beautiful—and you'll want to linger for hours. Chef Eduardo Garcia's French and globally influenced Mexican cuisine draws attention. Order à la carte or try their tasting menu that begins with a trio of snacks including a beet tartare tartlet topped with caviar; an infladita tucked with Comté cheese foam and caramelized onion, and a tempura-fried shiso leaf with kanpachi. From the abalone tostada with pepita sauce to the ceviche de pulpo with leche de tigre, these are creative and wildly flavorful dishes. Desserts lean savory, as in black truffle ice cream or flan topped with caviar." - Michelin Inspector

The 19 Best Restaurants In Roma, Mexico City - Mexico City - The Infatuation

"Máximo Bistrot 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

21 Classic Restaurants In Mexico City - Mexico City - The Infatuation

"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
