Cafe Comunidad

We went to this place for our third brunch in Mexico City (15 minute walk from our AirBnb).

I got a latte and Aperol spritz. Both were decent.

For my main, got the huevos a la Mexicana (scrambled eggs effectively).

I would come back here, but service was a bit slow.

Mari Gold

We checked out this place for brunch in our third day in Mexico City.

We ended up ordering things family style, and asked for their 8 top recommendations. From what they recommended, I would say the fish was great. The shrimp cocktail and the wings were ok. Didn’t really like most of everything else.

Will say that I did like the vibe of the restaurant, but not sure I would come back. Also the mimosas were not too strong.

Limantour

We went to this place for drinks for our second night in Mexico City, located in north Roma.

Definitely recommend this place for drinks. Had a coffee type drink (of course with alcohol), and a Jameson highball.

Contramar

We went to this place on our second night in Mexico City.

It is highly suggested by many that if it is your first time in Mexico City to go visit this place.

For drinks, mainly got Aperol Spritzs.

For appetizers, got the shrimp cocktail and the tuna sashimi. Thought both were excellent. Also got the clam chowder (would probably not get it again).

For the main course, shared a few things. Got the tuna tostados, the king fish tacos, the octopus, and the whole grilled fish.

For deserts, sampled the apple pie with ice cream, the strawberry cake, the flan, and the fig cake. Would get the apple pie again if I had to choose one.

Handshake Speakeasy

This was the first place we checked out in Mexico City in the Roma NTE (north) area.

This is the number 3 bar in the world apparently.

The speakeasy was hidden in the Nh hotel, and the entrance looks like the door in the picture below.

Some drinks I had were the Banana Split (it came with a Lego piece that was edible!), and. If in Japan. Both were great. Also got a Toki highball, which was just as expected.

We also got all the food on the menu below (all shareable). I would say the best is the braised beef and mushroom brioche. (I wouldn’t get the other food).
