One of my top-10 picks in Mexico City, classy atmosphere, diverse French cousine with one of the best Ouyster bars in towm. Premium service and price consistent with food quality. Try the French oysters, Lobster bisque, ane fresh fishb filet - wine list is spectacular! Over 7,000 wine cellar options.

An authentic French experience in the heart of Mexico City. The food is a little pricey but well worth it. Service is attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect. My coq au vin was tender and yummy. Dessert was also quite good, with an unusual take on black forest cake that looked very artsy and precious but was quite delicious.

I've been to Au Pied de Cochon about 5 times now, so that goes a long way to say I like the place. The atmosphere is kind of upscale for a french bistro, but the waiters make you feel welcome even if you're not wearing a suit. They have a decent wine selection and the menu is great. I've had...

They end it with a delicious complimentary plate of cakes and chocolate etc. The decor is charming, food high-end but not that over priced. If you are here at the InterContinental hotel- a good choice for dinner. Also has a large selection of sea food too.

This restaurant is not inexpensive, but it is worth it both for atmosphere, and more importantly, for the food. We started with oysters on the half shell. They were nicely presented on an elevated tray over ice. The condiments included a very nice mignonette sauce, along with the usual lemons, horseradish and cocktail sauce. The oysters themselves were all fresh... More

OMG their pear and Gorgonzola salad! Everything and anything I had at that place was exceptional! I went 3 times during my 10 da visit. I tried a 4th time but it was too busy for my taste. I had soup and salad the first time, a fish dish the second and steamed lamb the third. Honestly, I was feeling... More

Great for late-night dinners since it's open 24/7. If you like any pork-related dishes, this is the place to go. They also have non-pork options and even as a Vegetarian you can find things to order, like Onion Soup or Salade au chèvre chaud. Service is in general very good.

This is an excellent upscale resaturant right in the heart of Polanco. Just drive into the Intercontiental Hotel garage. The place is beautifully decorated classic french style. The service is very good, everyone is ready to please all your needs. The food is great, cooked at your exact requests, Escargots were delicious, you will love them but if you have... More
