Pascal Bistro

Dimly lit and intimate, Pascal is the perfect venue for a date night, catching up with good friends whom you want to treat to something amazing, or just any time you want a cherished gastronomical experience. You have a few tables in the dining room so attention is always top notch, or better yet grab a seat at the chef’s bar facing the open kitchen and enjoy the show. The show being the wunderkind doing his thing behind the bar. The young chef at Pascal who has worked for some of the most renowned joints in town decided to follow his calling and create his own concept using his Mexican roots, his training in European technique, and his never-ending creativity to deliver one of the most inventive and delicious restaurant concepts. The menu is rotating and ever evolving so it is hard to pinpoint just one cuisine, but I promise you it will not disappoint. They recently launched a full bar in the back so they offer cocktails in addition to their constantly stellar wine list.

The best food we had so far in Mexico. The young chef is creative and talented. They are for sure worthy Michelin stars. The ingredients are freshly locally sourced and they change menus daily based on the availability of products. All the high end fine dining restaurants I have been to, this one stands out. We would like to try every dish the chef comes up.

We had a regally dinner: cocktails were great and the food was super tasteful. Our highlights: the duke pate ( if you come very hungry, careful, this one is quite small dish) and the stake: was cooked perfectly and the mash potatoes was divine.

the food is good. but for me, the experience didn’t worth the the price. one of the things i love about open kitchen restaurants is that you can feel connected to how the food is made specially for you. but for me seeing the chefs touching there phones constantly while making my dish, and than again in between dishes, is disturbing and unhygienic. and than touching my food with there bare hands, at-list for me, is not expected from an high-end restaurant. furthermore, the waitress did it as well non stop. i didn’t felt comfortable. and it was through all my sitting there. again, eating in cheep place i wouldn’t have complained. but paying almost 1500$ for two small dishes. i’m expecting different experience. it was a week day, i was the only one eating. so maybe in other days the atmosphere is different. but in my experience it was like a funeral, with weird music, and everyone around me are dopamine addictive and touching my food with there bare hands after putting like on facebook (chef literally put the meat on my plate with his bare hands after putting is phone in his pocket.) also, i don’t speak spanish, and communication was really (really) bad. didn’t stayed for dessert. just wanted to go away from this place. worst experience for money in mexico so far.

A darling bistro with attention to detail, a beautiful aesthetic and homey, warm cooking. We went at senior’s hour for a perfect date night and the fastest, gracious service. The portions were perfect and each bite was flavourful and better than the next.

Wow the food was incredible! Chef Bryan made a spectacular menu. The fact that they use only organic and locally sourced ingredients it’s very special! You can really taste the quality and freshness of everything. The fresh bread and pasta that they make in house, ohhh myy! Must try the Duck Pate ! It’s the best I’ve ever had. The place is also very cute and the open kitchen concept is awesome!

Pascal has 5 star food for sure. Every dish we tasted was excellent and refined. Parpadelle and cauliflower in particular really outshined other plates here but all were so good. The drinks and service were not so good. They served us a bitter margarita with lime juice that was clearly not fresh. We complained and they made a new one, equally bad. At no point did the staff ask if it was OK (the first time) or if the new drink tasted better (the second time). We ended up telling them for a second time it was still bad but got no acknowledgment whatsoever. The waitress simply left. Other two drinks which were off menu of a coconut/pineapple mezcal were great! For such a high end restaurant to have such poor service I feel will be their downfall in the long run even if the food is excellent. I’d go back, and if you do too then I suggest you be more assertive about service considering the price. Overall worth a trip, great dishes, decent portions and delicious.

A high-end restaurant with solid dishes but overpriced portions and inconsistent service. Upon arrival, it took a bit to get acknowledged before we were given menus by the server. We were asked if we wanted water and had a choice between house water (free) or bottled water, which was a nice detail—most higher-end restaurants just assume bottled, so I appreciated the option. While deciding, our server was a bit pushy about ordering appetizers, offering them twice, which was a little annoying. When we asked about the most popular dishes, the server seemed confused and unaware of the menu change, which felt unprofessional. Instead of a thoughtful recommendation, he just suggested the most expensive dish on the menu. We ordered the spinach ravioli and the pulpo a las brasas. The food didn’t take long to arrive, but the small portion sizes were immediately noticeable, especially with the octopus. The spinach ravioli was absolutely heavenly—the sauce was a delight and easily the highlight of our visit (9/10). The octopus was cooked to perfection, and the mashed sweet potato was flavorful, but the portion was almost laughable—there was more garnish than actual octopus, and for the $420 price tag, it just wasn’t worth it (7/10). The ravioli, while delicious, was also overpriced at $390, though small portions for ravioli dishes are expected in similar restaurants. It took some time to get the bill, and when we finally did, we were once again pushed to order dessert, which only had two options. When I asked about the cheesecake, I didn’t get a clear answer—the menu mentioned maracuyá, but the server seemed unaware and gave a vague response. Overall, while the food was well-executed, the portions were too small for the hefty price tag, averaging around $400 per dish. The service, though attentive at times, felt pushy and uninformed. The atmosphere was intimate and well-designed, but there were just too many small details that made me reconsider a return visit.
