Taverna

This was hands down the best food decision we made during our entire trip. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a vibe that pulls you in the moment you walk through the door. There are so many gorgeous rooms and little corners that you kind of get lost in it in the best way. And the food. Every single dish we ordered was incredible — honestly, not a single miss. Everything was packed with flavor and beautifully put together. If (when) I come back to Mexico City, I’m planning at least three meals here. No joke. We went around midday and got a table without a problem, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets busy during peak hours. Just go. You won’t regret it.

Obviously very beautiful restaurant. Some dishes better than others - skip the beef tartare it's a bit strange but the stuffed dates were phenomenal. I'd come back for the seasonal veggies alone. the pig was delicious as well as the lamb. best bread pudding i've ever had. Would ball out a little less next time as some things weren't really worth it. Kinda felt like the server was rushing us a bit and one entree came out quite a bit before the other entree and you'd think when you're spending this much $ they'd be pacing it out a little better. really beautiful place but service isn't really worth the price.

Very good dinner experience at Taverna, even so we had no reservations and the place was fully booked they got us a seat at the bar. The place is very unique & dark, lovely cocktails and the service was very attentive even so the girl was super busy but she did an awesome job (unfortunately I don’t recall her name). The food was innovative with different layers of flavour. All the dishes meant to be shared which is a lovely way to enjoy multiple dishes. Overall, I can definitely recommend this restaurant.

A surprising find! The ambiance is magical and so well constructed and the large pillar candles just give this place so much drama. All the food was well priced and the drinks were made well. Some standouts were the Dates stuffed with Chorizo and the Crispy Mussels for appetizers. I also enjoyed the Seafood Arroz Caldoso as it had a good amount of white wine cooked in and was perfect to share. The service was excellent and helpful too! Overall, made a great impression and would love to come back!

Everything about this place is excellent and top notch. With the dim lighting and sophisticatedly rustic ambience, I felt like one of the cool kids just being in this place! The food is creatively delicious, and they have a succinct menu that they execute with precision. Too much great food here to recommend something over something else, but trust me, you can almost close your eyes and point randomly and hit a home run! The service is fantastic, from the hostesses to the wait staff. Add this place to your list.

I loved the atmosphere. It was moody, rustic, and felt like outdoor dining but I’m pretty sure we were indoors. It’s also sectioned off into multiple areas and levels, so it feels intimate, even though the restaurant was quite large. The drinks and food were good, but the environment was better.

We had an unforgettable experience at Taverna for a special celebration dinner. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance felt warm, elegant, and perfect for a memorable night out. We ordered the steak, beef tartare, and red snapper, and every single dish exceeded expectations. The steak was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. The beef tartare was delicate and well-balanced, with just the right touch of acidity and freshness. And the red snapper—absolutely stunning. Beautifully plated, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. Service was attentive and kind without being intrusive. The staff made us feel welcome and ensured everything went smoothly throughout the evening. If you’re looking for a place in CDMX for a romantic dinner, special occasion, or just to enjoy amazing food in a cozy setting, Taverna is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

The food here is amazing! It was refreshing to do Mediterranean food during the middle of our trip to Mexico City & everything here was delightful. While the food and service are phenomenal, come here for the relaxing and rustic vibes. The restaurant is incredibly designed and it feels like you’re entering a whole new world when you walk in off the street. Add this to your list & definitely make a reservation in advance!

This was top 3 meals while in Mexico City. It was so intimate without being to over the top. The service was so wonderful! Our waiter spoke English and Spanish which was so appreciated. The food was phenomenal. We shared everything and it was amazing to try so many dishes. The short rib was so flavorful and delicious. My fav appetizer was the beet carpaccio. Would definitely come here again! Make sure to have a reservation!

Taverna is a place to visit if you're captivated by CDMX's unique architecture and love for art that's paleo modern. Simple clean chic yet somehow old and earthy. Food and service are alright but the space is beautiful. It's also a good break or forray into mx's Mediterranean version if you're seeking something other than tacos and quesadillas. We had - baked veggie dish (3/5) while the cook was ok, it was mushroom heavy. My partner is allergic and they neither noted on their menu nor did anything to change it up once we brought it up - a labneh passion fruit dessert (3/5) ok not memorable - grilled prawns (4/5) - burrata salad (4/5) Two beverages which were ok, one was a grape mocktail and the other had turmeric. Go herefor lunch, go to every room and space. Experience the architecture in solace and feel like you're in mx.

Ok, so we didn't absolutely *love* Taverna, compared to the many other restaurants we explored. However, perhaps we didn't order their strongest dishes. We had the smoked seasonal vegetables with parmesan (which also included a lot of mushrooms, so it was a hearty dish that vegetarians will enjoy!). We also got the tomato bread (bruschetta-type spread seatup), roasted carrots dish (whish it was roasted a bit more; tasted more like a slaw). For the table, we also shared the roasted quail. The cocktails were great! I had a taste of my gf's gin martini - it was damn near perfection. They have great mocktails, too. The highlight of my experience was the venue. It's *beautiful* located in a restored 1905 hacienda. There are dining rooms, a bar area, downstairs dining room in a cavernous setting. The candle lights, the plants, the decor... it's all an Old World romantic vibe and I'm here for it! Would def go back for cocktails + light apps.

You come here for the amazing decor and ambiance, but the menu was a bit limited and overpriced. Staff was friendly and the place is beautiful! However, there are better eats elsewhere in CDMX.

What an amazing space! We walked over a suspended bridge of sorts to a room that held 4 tables, and we were the first ones seated. As each party was seated it didn't negatively impact the ambiance. The space could handle it. Our server was delightful. She explained everything in detail & though it sounded a bit memorized, she had the answers to any of our questions, in English when needed. And the food. Please--get the crispy mussels if they're offered. NOT to be missed. And those dates filled with chorizo and wrapped in ham. Holy cow! We went overboard & got the veggies in a cream sauce. They were delicious too, but impacted our appetite for the main course which was so, so good. It was a whole rockfish that was split open and (I think) grilled, and had a delightful sauce. We were too full for dessert--we'll have to go back for that! I wish CDMX was closer--I'm craving those crispy mussels!!

Absolutely incredible meal!!! Ambiance and design of space was to die for. Food was amazing. I am a vegan - I had the hummus as well as the beet dish and I could have come back and eat them everyday. My partner had the sandwich and it blew him away (he is very picky). Please visit!
