Pujol

"Perpetually ranked highly on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, Pujol has built a remarkable legacy in fine dining. Throughout the years, the restaurant has evolved into a multi-course vegetarian or pescatarian experience while holding true to Enrique Olvera’s values of sustainability, respect for Mexican culinary heritage, and local ingredients. Chef de cuisine Jesus Duron has elevated the experience since taking over in 2020, executing the tasting menu and taco omakase. Reservations are hard to come by, so book at least three months in advance." - Natalia de la Rosa, Daniela Galarza

"When you tell someone you’re visiting Mexico City, there’s a 75% chance they’ll respond with, “Oh, are you going to...what’s that place called?” If you feel like talking to this person, finish their sentence with “Pujol.” This high-end Mexican spot in the middle of Polanco is one of the best-known restaurants in the world, and one of the hardest to get into—reservations open a year in advance, and you’ll need to plan months ahead to get a table. They do a ten-course taco omakase at the bar, as well as a tasting menu in the dining room. Whichever you choose, the star of your meal will be the mole. It’s been cooking continuously since 2013, and tastes like a light and complex melted chocolate." - guillaume guevara
