307 Hegel, Ciudad de México, CDMX 11560, Mexico

An excellent white table cloth seafood restaurant in Polanco. Owned by the same people as Contramar (one of the most popular restaurants in the city for Americans), but easier to get reservations. Still need to book reservations in advance.

🍽️ ENO

Our favorite breakfast spot in CDMX! It's an all day cafe run by a well-known Mexican chef, Enrique Olvera. Great for brunch especially. Get the huevos rancheros, conchas, and their seasonal juices! They have 5 locations in the city (in Polanco and Roma where you'll likely be staying). You can book reservations in advance but they also take walk ins pretty easily.

🍽️ Mandolina

135 Avenida Emilio Castelar, Ciudad de México, CDMX 11550, Mexico

A great restaurant in Polanco across the street from Parque Lincoln. Look into reservations in advance but may be able to walk in without waiting too long. Great for brunch outside. If you do have to wait, you can enjoy a walk in the park.

🍽️ Restaurante Rosetta
