Best Restaurants in Condesa

"Ana Dolores González's Condesa corner restaurant turns Mexican classics into something refined — the fish in green mole with plantain and pumpkin seeds is extraordinary. Michelin 1 star since 2024."

"The Jerusalem artichoke with caramelized whey gravy and chicharrón is genuinely revelatory. Everything here has a story — the farmers, the producers, the techniques are all named."

"Eight seats. Fish flown from Japan. One chef in meditative silence. CDMX's most intimate omakase — silky toro, gently torched unagi, and scallop with yuzu. Sake served at the exact temperature for each course."

"The fetuccini al limone is the kind of dish you think about for days. The green goddess salad is genuinely perfect."

"Hule es cafetería y tienda de vinilos en uno: un espacio curado donde la playlist permanente y la cava de discos son tan importantes como el café. Su Horchata Cold Brew se ha convertido en uno de los tragos más fotografiados de la Condesa, y el ambiente cálido y musical hace que nadie quiera irse."

"Michelin Guide-listed Korean restaurant from chefs Greg Wong and Allen Noveck — inventive Korean food with Mexican sensibility. Creamy kimchi carbonara, crispy esquites with Sichuan pepper, and warm gimbap in a former Chinese café."

"The XO sauce camarones are the kind of dish that lives rent-free in your head. The flan al horno with cajeta at the end is non-negotiable."
