Fodor's Expert Review El Mayor

Above a bookstore, on the top floor of a nondescript building at the northern edge of the Plaza de la Constitución, this modern restaurant is an ideal place to sit—particularly on the expansive terrace that is shaded by umbrellas—and watch the Templo Mayor spread out below. An extensive breakfast menu of Mexican and American favorites makes it a good choice for breakfast or weekend brunch on a sunny day. The lunch menu is made up of a mix of upscale Mexican dishes (primarily) and European-influenced fusion dishes—but you're here for the view.
