Sonora Grill

We went to this place for dinner after going to the Soumaya Mueseum in Polanco (Mexico City).

Like the rest do the area, it’s fairly up scale. Lots of high rise buildings and big naked companies.

This restaurant was located in a high end mall. Definitely the vibe was great.

For drinks, each whisky drink required that you order a double (so about 23 usd for two shots of Glenlevit). Deal was pretty sick.

For starters, they started us of (for free) with some nachos and dip (that seemed to have cheese and beans). For appetizers, we got the cauliflower, beef tacos, beef wrapped asparagus, quesadilla sampler and octopus. Would get the first three again.

For our main, shared the ribeye steak (medium rare) with mushrooms and spinach’s sides. Would get all but the mushrooms again.

For desert, we got a variety of cakes (not exactly sure which ones). Would get any cake there again.

La Terrasse

We went here for our first meal in Belgium (Brussels).

Overall, food was okay, but wouldn’t actively come back here again (although google ratings are good for this place ).

For a drink, tried a Chimay for the first time (which is a darker Belgium beer). Thought it was great, but you could definitely feel the alcohol with it.

For starters, got the shrimp salad. I would say it was just okay. For the main, got the ribeye steak with mushroom sauce. It came with salad and fries. Fries were slightly larger than what I was used to (apparently they are called steak fries). As mentioned, food was just okay (but if I for some reason ended up back here, I would not not order things again).

Kitchen Story

Definitely a brunch place I would go back to.

For drinks, most of us got bottomless mimosas (for only $20). Definitely worth it (only thing though is the glasses they gave us were mason jars. I wanted a regular wine glass).

For my main course, I got something called the RibEye Omurice. It was really good. The ribeye itself was minced and mixed into the rice. The scrambled egg on top had this sweet sauce on it that was also good.

For “dessert”, we shared a deep fried French toast (which has a cheese called mascarpone). Very delicious.
