Breathtakingly beautiful space and the most welcoming staff members ever, I have never been taken care so well before in a restaurant. Every detail is taken care of staff members out of nowhere. I made conversation with every staff member I feel like.
Wine list goes hard (I had a great orange wine, dry, tannic, mineral, a little touch of green apple) but the food goes even harder;
everyone needs the tomato and almond curd, so unique and flavors just add up layer after another, completely vegan but so creamy??? The green oil was herby and bring down the saltiness of the curd. Tomato itself is juicy and sweet enough to become its own star;
The grilled carrot/cauliflower/broccolini dish was also spectacular; the hummus is very light/airy than the traditional one and almost whipped, the fried chili oil was cherry on top and takes the total flavor profile to a next level.
I know everyone raves about the rice with soft shell crab dish here. The soft shell crab was perfect, the rice was tangy, creamy, salty and the lime balanced out. Pay attention to how much lime juice you may want for this though I can see people takes lime too far to overpower the taste of the whole dish.
The most popular dessert is the monkey bread, which is almost like a French toast to me but soaked in caramel sauce. My only small criticism is maybe the ice cream could be a little thicker and portion is a little smaller than what it may pair better with the bread.
It was an absolutely lovely and stunning meal, and I promised my server Leonardo that next time I am back to CDMX I will definitely revisit.
