Havre 77 on Postcard

"This lively French brasserie has been around for a decade, and it’s always a useful place to pop in for lunch after wandering around the boutiques and galleries in the neighborhood. If you can, snag one of the outdoor tables on the balcony overlooking the tree-lined street, and plot your next move over a few glasses of wine, a dozen oysters, and some shrimp cocktail. They also do heartier dishes like a great burger that’s drenched in beef jus. Whatever path you choose, end with the apple tarte tatin." - guillaume guevara

"Havre 77 has been a Mexico City staple for over a decade, and for good reason—it was the first well-executed French brasserie in town when it opened over a decade ago, and it still is. The restaurant, founded by the owner of Máximo Bistrot, is perfect for a leisurely meal after exploring the boutiques and galleries in Juárez or before going out to one of the many nearby cocktail bars or nightclubs. Try to grab one of the outdoor tables on the balcony overlooking the tree-lined Havre, the namesake street, and the most famous one in the neighborhood. The burger is amazing, the onion soup is decadent, and coming here for the fresh oysters from Baja with a date for lunch is never a bad move. Whatever you decide, finish with their gooey, crispy apple tarte tatin." - guillaume guevara

"Chef Eduardo García (of Lalo and Máximo Bistrot fame) applies his exquisite taste to a more traditionally French bill of fare at Havre 77, a beautiful dining room on what may be the city’s hippest half-block. Just a smattering of tables (reservations are recommended) and a handsome old-style bar inhabit two rooms and a tiny terrace in a fabulous fin de siècle mansion whose feel is still contemporary; couples favor the restaurant for its romantic, indulgent atmosphere. A pared-down menu hints at the approach: quality over quantity in Gallic standards like onion soup, oysters, a buttery steak frites, duck confit; all ingredients are excellent, leveraging the best of Mexican farms and ranches. Near perfect yet never fussy."

Food is very good! Not to miss the onion soup and the hamburger and ask for the specials of the day. Service is not the best to be honest as they are always full waiters are somehow rude. And as any other place in that neighborhood is very small and in summer it becomes very hot. The only thing its that its extremely EXPENSIVE for what it is. PRICE/Quality offer is not justified at all

Great french bistro. Dishes are consistently good. Try hamburger, lettuce salad and french toast! Rabbit Pasta was also excellent! They have recently expanded to the room next door, but try and fit four people in tables mente for two which is not going to work. Would love to see a better wine list, as current one has nothing special and is quite pricy.

Menu is simple but very tasty. Music selection transports you to a French bistro. Great location of seats makes you not notice the street. Food was very well served and tasty. Drinks were powerful and very well mixed. With an attentive spot this is a great place to eat French cuisine. I will be back

This is a great place. I think it could be better, though. The burger was amazing, no comments there, probably the best burger I had in Mexico. The onion soup was just right, and they were kind enough to separate in two portions. The steak was just ok. The only disappointment were the fries: not only a total amount of like 15 fries per plate, but what was annoying is that they were bad: hardened on the outside, dry on the inside, lacked salt. Just bad. I kinda wish they served a medium rare cote de boeuf with a lot of fries, I’m sure they would do a good job with that, and that is what is really missing in this city. We also had a creme brulee that was perfect (although some of the vanilla was concentrated on one of the sides). The service is good but it suffers from the same problems as elsewhere: the servers are lurking behind a window to snatch your plate the minute you are done, and they took a glass that still had wine. Not cool. I will definitely come back.

Decent food & service in a beautiful setting. Some details could use more attention. The restaurant is in the same building as Sushi Kyo. Was craving steak & frites and came specifically for it. Started with complimentary baguette and butter. The baguette was extremely tasty, even though it was not warmed up. The butter was good, but erring on the cold side. The salad was simple and delicious. The Dijon mustard seed vinaigrette has just the right amount of flavors. Steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The sauce feels rather “detached” from the meat in my opinion, and unfortunately I was not a fan of how the meat itself tasted. The fries were very thin and crunchy, which is sadly also not my personal preference. The tarte tartin is pretty good. Not overly sweet, with a soft buttery pastry base. (Think the one from Cafe Milou remains my favorite, because I like the pastry to be a bit caramelized.) Overall it is a cute venue that would be fun for dates. There seems to be a good selection of wines by the glass as well. Note: Came on a weekday at 1:15pm, only to find out that the restaurant doesn’t open till 2pm. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I went with my husband to have dinner in our last visit to Mexico City. Food was very simple (in a bad way). Very bad stake, pasta, and wine, plus super expensive. The place was tight, no space for the waitress to move. I can get better food and atmosphere in other restaurants around the city.

Food, ambiance and wine options are great. Overall a good restaurant to go with friends and enjoy a nice dinner The best thing is the french toast which is obviously a dessert. The onion soup is amazing, and the burger, while we didn’t eat it, was highly recommended. Solid 3.7 stars (hence 4)

Everything was amazing. We tried grilled oysters, mussels, calamari, onion soup and the burger. All were fantastic.

Just okay. First of all, they have waiters and servers. The servers where running around like crazy creating a chaotic atmosphere. The waiter was non engaging. Food was mediocre. Coq AU vin was dry. Just don't go

I was very much looking forward to a special night out at this famed restaurant. We dined there in late Dec. 2021. The food seemed very rich and creamy, somewhat like an old-fashioned representation of what French food should be. My partner gave it an "Average 77". This would have been enough to put it behind us. However, a few hours into the night after the meal, I became violently ill with what I believe was food poisoning as I threw up all the contents of the meal over a few hours. We had the chicken and fish main dishes and escargot appetizer. Without going into further speculation on the source of the food poisoning or detail of how unpleasant this after-meal experience was, a day-and-a-half passed before I had the energy to return to life, which was a deep disappointment to endure this involuntary "rest" on my short-lived vacation. The restaurant never appeared to reopen in the week after this and I do not know the cultural mores of making a complaint (so I'm doing it social media style), but I hope no one else fell ill.

A beautiful French restaurant by Eduardo Garcia (Maximo Bistrot and Lalo) in quickly gentrifying Colonia Juarez. I've been twice for the lunch menu and the food has been excellent. The 290 peso lunch special is only available in the bar and includes 4 courses (starter, soup, entree, dessert and an aqua del dia.) The portions are on the small side, but collectively, they add up to a very satisfying lunch. The bread and butter they serve is fantastic. The lunch special is posted on a sidewalk chalkboard outside the restaurant when they open at 1 pm. Four stars because the first time we went an entree listed was changed and they didn't tell us about it. On this most recent visit, the waiter seemed like he was rushing us and brought our entree out while we were still finishing our 2nd course. (Minor in the scheme of things.) If you're looking for an alternative to a cheap Comida Corrida lunch but don't want to break the bank, I'd give Havre 77 a shot. (If you don't like the menu, Panadería Rosetta is right next door.)

This place is located in a historic house in a cozy street. Service is great and servers are attentive. Menu options are limited but ingredients are fresh and exquisite. Calamari and ceviche seem special with a unique taste. Hamburger was served fresh with a delicious side of fries. My favorite was complementary fresh beard and butter! It was so good that I asked for more!! Overall a great place for family gatherings or couple.

No Service at 4pm if you only want dessert and coffee. Plenty of tables available however after seating us they refused to serve us because we only wanted coffee and dessert. The only other feature of the situation is that we happened to be the only customers of darker pigmentation. Shameless place.

This place is so delicious and really underrated on yelp!! EVERYTHING on the menu was really tasty and the price tag was very average for an upscale restaurant. It should be on everyone's list of places to eat in CDMX. I would pick this place over some of the other hyped up places in the city!
