PLONK

"Set on a tree-lined street in La Condesa, this is exactly where you want to be on a nice day. The outdoor area piles on the charm (think a counter built around three sides of a tree), while inside is intimate and romantic. Chef Flor Camorlinga's creative, contemporary dishes often weave together Mexican and Asian mindsets, as in shrimp udon and cheddar cheese with gochujang or bone marrow with cotija and kimchi. It's all designed for sharing and is complemented by an impressive natural wine selection. The doradito, a paper-thin blue corn tortilla topped with dorado crudo, mild, smoky salsa, and macadamia nut is a standout for its crisp flavors, while the smoked marlin tamal is amped up with an impactful almond and chili morita sauce. Desserts rotate but definitely don't skip." - Michelin Inspector

The 38 Best Restaurants in Mexico City | Eater

"Located in Condesa, Plonk shines for its attentive hospitality and wine geekiness. Sommelier Romina Argüelles and chef Flor Camorlinga joined forces to open the space in fall 2023. Plonk’s dishes hint at Mexican flavors with strokes of Asian influence, like the smoked marlin tamal with morita chile sauce or the spicy shrimp udon with peanuts and cheddar. Camorlinga’s work in the kitchen is constantly changing, allowing Argüelles’s wine expertise to shine through creative pairings from small, Old World wine producers. If you’re interested in trying a variety, Plonk’s wine selection by the glass is reasonably priced, while the cocktail list offers versions of classics. The best seating is at the bar. Best for: A casual dinner date or small group." - Natalia de la Rosa
