Meroma

"Meroma, classy but relaxed, isn't Pujol , but it's just as thoughtful. The menu features seasonal vegetables from husband-and-wife chef duo Rodney Cusic and Mercedes Bernal. He's American but speaks fluent Spanish, she's from Mexico, and together they're great at sourcing stellar, local ingredients that shine in elegant, balanced dishes. There's a pleasing mix: oysters and fish, lamb and quail, and pastas that are hands down the best in the city. Don't miss the orecchiette with lamb merguez sausage and roasted broccoli." - Naomi Tomky, Scarlett Lindeman

"Meroma is one of Mexico City’s best new restaurants, where you can eat everything from heirloom tomatoes with grilled avocado and scallop tiradito to agnolotti in sage butter and arroz negro with seafood. There’s a minimalist bar room on the ground floor, which feels right for a casual, cool meal, a more secluded dining room on the second floor ideal for dates, and the covered terrace - which is one of the best spots for a group dinner in Mexico City. When you add in the long cocktail menu and wine list, you have a restaurant where literally anyone would be happy." - Katherine Lewin
