Máximo Bistrot

$$$$ | La Roma Fodor's choice

One of the capital's most sought-after dining experiences has moved from its unassuming original digs to a much more spacious and rather swanky space. Chef Eduardo García crafts complex French-Mediterranean-Mexican dishes like sea scallops with a raspberry "aguachile," lobster risotto, and tagliatelle pasta with a wild boar ragout—nothing outlandish but always perfectly executed. For an opulent feast, book the tasting menu with wine pairings (MP5,350).

Eloise

$$$ | San Angel
A swanky spot for celebrating a special meal or simply savoring artful plates of opulent modern French fare—including crème brûlée de foie gras, truffled asparagus with Parmesan, and flank steak–frites Béarnaise—Eloise could be faulted only for its slightly ho-hum decor. The food is consistently excellent, right down to the indulgent desserts and globally representative wine list.

56-3017–7603
Known For
  • Dressy, special-occasion ambience

Ivoire

$$$$ | Polanco
The epitome of Polanquito chic, Ivoire brings a touch of France to Mexico. The interior is reminiscent of a Parisian bistro, complete with cane chairs and indoor plants, and the menu features fondue, escargot, and artichokes. Fashionable chilangos drop by for brunch on the terrace overlooking Parque Lincoln.
