Casa Virginia

So good. The French Onion Soup is great, and the ratatouille is very nice. The burger is... Very intense. I couldn't taste anything but cheese. So be careful, if are not crazy about flavours like blue cheese. Desserts are nice. Staff if very professional.

Lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere and fine customer service. The food was good, maybe they tend to use a little too much parmesan to garnish their mains. I was there to celebrate my birthday and they were nice enough to show up with cake and candle on the house at the end of our dinner. Definitely recommend!

The best meal we’ve had in Mexico. Honestly, the service was so friendly and professional. Allan was absolutely incredible and making us feel welcome and answering our questions. The food was everything we could wish for in a great restaurant. Que rico! I really recommend the risotto and the lamb. the ambiance is intimate and romantic, we loved it. 100% would be back anytime!

Top tier restaurant! One of my new favorite restaurants in Mexico City from the ambience to the drinks and food and service. It is also worth it. The restaurant feels like you’re in a beautiful historic home and everything that comes with it brings so much balance! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu ESPECIALLY the Matalán cocktail & tostadas

This meal was so outstanding that we agreed it was more amazing than a starred restaurant we also experienced. Each dish was exquisite, and the Mexican white wine on offer (Fluxus from Baja California) was excellent.

Our favorite dinner of the entire vacation. Beautiful, romantic space. Eugene was our server - he was incredibly kind and helpful. I had the filet with port sauce - absolutely delicious. Come early for a drink in the small bar area - they also have a cigar room for after dinner.

Great ingredients, ambiance, and service. I am vegan / vegetarian and it was no problem. Cocktail and wine menu is extensive.

This place gets 10 out of 10 on everything. The house itself is beautiful, old and well maintained. Staff very courteous and professional. The food is one of the best we had in the city with local products and excellent quality. We definitely recommend to try Mexican wine which ended up to be the nicest discover of the country. The menu is simply, few dishes and all made with heart. I think everyone should try this place and obviously make a reservation before because it gets busy.

Absolutely a great dining experience! We were a party of four. We were first timers and can't rave more about our wonderful time at this gastronomic venue. The Tuna Tostadas were so amazing. Our group went family style and ordered the fall apart Lamb shank and whole red snapper. Huge portions and feed us all. Dessert was delicious! Don't miss their Guava Cheesecake!! Service here is truly superb as well. We highly recommend and will return again soon!!

The negronis are amazing, the figs are very good and the lechon is very good also and the service is great

While in Mexico City for our honeymoon, we ate at some incredible restaurants. As far as overall experience though, I think Casa Virginia was my favorite. Everything was delicious, perfectly cooked and presented in a beautiful way. Plus the service was impeccable! We needed a place to go to for thanksgiving dinner. While not a popular holiday in Mexico, it was still hard to find places with reservations for 8 ppl due to Covid. CV made it really easy with open table, we got a res for 7pm. They sat us down in the back room in this gorgeous private space with a long table. When I explained that I was gluten free, they carefully wrote down on the menu all the things I needed to avoid. There was still a ton I could order. Our group did family style, and ordered almost everything. We got the friend shrimp wontons, the escargot, the burrata, pate, the pork mignon, sea-bass, short rib, lamb shank, risotto and a whole fish! Everything we ate was amazing. I had to skip the shrimp and risotto but I was told those were also great. My favorite dish was probably the lamb shank and the fish. Our cocktails and wine were also perfectly balanced and amazing. Wine in Mexico isn't always the best, but CV had a wonderful selection and we ended up ordering 4 or 5 bottles. Even though this restaurant isn't as well known or eclectic as some of the others you've heard of, it is a must if you are seeking delicious and well made food!

Taken to casa Virginia by some local Chilango amigos. We were very lucky indeed, this is not a restaurant on the tourist radar. The locals want to keep it that way. It's a white tablecloth place set in a beautiful 1930's building, with impeccable service, outstanding cocktails try the 19, it's got fresh epasote ground into It with mescal and pineapple juice, fresh and fabulous. We had suckling pig, with great crispy skin and pork that actually tasted like pork. A braised lamb with garlic and guajillo chiles, fresh local porcini mushrooms also sautéed with a little dried chile and garlic and a fresh sea bass that was one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. This place rocks it. When in the ROMA borough, gotta go but make a reservation in advance.

Just had the most amazing meal here. We had the shareable Espaldilla De Cordero and the ratatouille. Both were absolutely incredible and we can't stop talking about it. The lamb was Smokey and so tender and had the most amazing sauce. I will be thinking about this meal for a long time! Our server was so great and all the service here was quality. Thank you Casa Virginia for our most memorable meal in Mexico City!

In a real cozy -and well ventilated- space we enjoyed a wonderful fig salad and delicious onion soup‼‼

Absolutely delicious Sonoran style steak WOW ... loved it ... the other dish we tried was the suckling pig which was also very good ... And of course dessert WOW again ... forgot the name but it's the cornbread something something with ice cream WOW ... dude that was hella good loved it ... other than that beautiful place located upstairs .. inside is very intimate and just very cool old looking ... cool palace ... enjoy

In a New Orleans style French food mood this afternoon and what a treat! Here is what we enjoyed: mescal/pepino drink, escargots, foie gras, brioche, assortment of breads, butter, beer and a warm salad made with figs, spinach and gorgonzola. Can't wait to try the French onion soup.

Great food! They handle both meat and fish. Excellent service. Nice environment. This place proofs that wight table cloth equals quality!

I was in Mexico City for work for roughly two weeks and a coworker decided to take me to see a bit of the city and the first stop was here at casa Virginia. We called ahead of time for reservations and they mentioned that there were no tables but they told us to come by anyways in the case that someone cancelled. We went by because my friend mentioned that the restaurant was run by a prominent chef in Mexico and it was highly recommended by a local friend. We came here and selected a variety of platters and I was informed that they sometimes diversify the menu. We ordered a type of short rip and also with a bottle of wine.the meat was tender and came with the full bone and literally melted off as you cut into it. We had it with vegetables and mashed potatoes. We did not order dessert because we were so full from the dinner. The environment and the food was a show stopper and I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Mexico City.

I came for a second time after a magical first experience a few years ago, and was disappointed with my recent meal. Drinks were watery and not flavorful, the bread was not good. The aguachile didn't taste like it has enough time to marinate and the figs in another dish weren't sweet and flavorful.

We decided to try Casa Virginia for a semi casual birthday dinner on a Saturday night around 8pm. We made reservations and indicated it was for a birthday. I had high hopes for this restaurant given its location in a beautiful building and being under the tourist radar. Unfortunately our excitement was met with disappointment. The service was good, the food presentation decent, the interior dining space beautiful. We were provided with a complimentary starter of a tortilla chip topped with refried beans. The beans were room temperature borderline cold and nothing exciting. Not a great way to start a meal. Next was the foie gras which was pretty good. We jumped straight into our main meal of lamb and a side broccolini. The lamb was COLD at the center and the broccolini over salted. The server was kind enough to replace the lamb with new one which arrived at a proper temperature but the meat itself wasn't seasoned well. With our hearts dismayed and appetite soured we skipped out on dessert and got out of there as soon as we could. We would not come back nor would we recommend the restaurant. If you can't get the meat right (seasoning and temperature) and do it consistently (for all diners and all evenings) its a bad sign. To end, there was not one acknowledgement of a birthday wish and were seated in an awkward space. We are foodies from LA who appreciate good food no matter how casual or formal the dining experience. This place just didn't do it for us. Save your curiosity and check out places like Maximo Bistrot and Quintonil for a sure to please dinner.

Top notch. Beautiful room, great service, fantastic food. What else can I tell you. Come eat enjoy
