Best Restaurants for Foodies in Ampliacion Granada

Food and ambiance excellent. Dinner was a little more than I anticipated. Restaurant might be a little over staffed, always had somebody hovering. My wife and I ordered Burrata with arugula, the table served Caesar salad and Grilled fish prepared table side by Hugo. The food was spot on. They also have a drummer who does about a 12 minute set at 830 and 930…he really gets the place going. We told the servers to take their time as we were in no hurry, glad we did. They are on things so quickly. Definitely the evening was great.

WOW WOW WOW!!! We were completely blown away by the food and level of service. We did the 9 course tasting menu and wine pairing. Worth every penny and we loved all the flavors! Highly recommend -would go back. This food brought tears of joy to my eyes.

Maximo is worth a visit. Make your reservations early. It’s a very comfortable environment- warm and friendly. Food was very good. Service great.

Extraordinary lunch. Every dish was memorable. Best meal in CDMX. Thank you

Asai Kaiseki is the real deal. Commanded by the meticulous Itamae Asai, this isn’t some slapdash sushi joint slathering rolls in cream cheese and eel sauce. This is precision. This is heritage. This is one of the top three Japanese restaurants in the city, if not the best. The sushi? Impeccable. They’ve switched to koshihikari rice for their shari, and it makes all the difference, each nigiri elevated, clean, perfectly seasoned. But what truly sets Asai apart is the way it weaves Mexico into its Japanese foundation, not as a gimmick, but with finesse. Take the nopal (cacti) nigiri, for instance—a dish that embodies respect for both traditions without veering into fusion for fusion’s sake. But if you really want to understand what Asai Kaiseki is about, go for the kaiseki experience. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a journey. Course after course, unfolding like a perfectly timed symphony—seasonal, balanced, and deeply rooted in Japanese culinary philosophy. Omakase is also an option here, and it’s equally worth surrendering yourself to the chef’s expertise. This is where you come for real Japanese cuisine in Mexico City. No shortcuts, no theatrics—just craftsmanship, discipline, and a deep respect for the food.
