Get dressed up for an evening in the city’s most well-heeled zone, Polanco, where Pujol, the Two Michelin Star landmark, opened its doors in 2000. Chef-owner Enrique Olvera is recognized for forging a fine dining movement out of his country’s cooking, turning staple dishes like mole, into, as Michelin Inspectors write, “an effort like no other that celebrates Mexican history and cuisine in the most profound way.” Olvera’s origins in the industry as a teenage dinner party host shine through in the welcoming dining room built from a mid-century home with a lush wraparound courtyard. “Tradition and invention go hand-in-hand” on the seasonal tasting menu, which leans lighter with plates like grilled Baja coast rockfish with butternut squash puree and sherry foam.

His relocated Pujol is airier, brighter and a little greener than the original; service remains slick and staff informative. The menu is famous for its moles (pronounced 'mo-lay' and meaning sauces) – notably the 5-year-old (and counting) mole madre or 'mother sauce' – you can feed a mole much as you might a sourdough starter. The seven-course taster is heavily fish-focused, featuring ceviche, sea bass and spiny lobster, all zinged up by Mexican sauces, chillis and innovative elements such as habanero ink, salt made from toasted maguey worms and a juiced white corn that goes by the evocative Nahuatl name of cacahuatzintle.

Over the past six years, Yolcan’s director, Lucio Usobiaga, has developed relationships with some of the city’s top chefs—from the kitchens of Merotoro, Pujol, Contramar, and Maximo Bistrot—and with some of its most important producers in the chinampas, linking the two communities. The supplier works with five different families of chinampa farmers to grow organic produce they sell to Yolcan at fair-trade prices, providing the chinamperos with higher monthly income and access to the city’s high-end food market.

Enrique Olvera—the chef behind New York's Cosme and Atla—offers two different dining options at his highly acclaimed Pujol: a multi-course tasting menu in the formal dining room and a "taco omakase" meal at the low-slung bar featuring various tacos, antojitos, and botanas. Good news: You'll likely get to taste Olvera's famed mole madre dish no matter which you choose. But as this is one of the best renowned restaurants in the country, you may want to book your reservation before you book your flight.

Pujol has left its mark on Mexico City as one of the places that helped push Mexican cuisine forward with its technical, almost minimalistic approach to local ingredients. With over 20 years under its belt, this laid-back fine dining spot is still one of those places you have to scratch off your bucket list just so you can experience their 10-course taco“omakase” that’s focused on masa specialties, or the six-course tasting menu. Both paths star the mole madre, arguably Pujol’s most famous dish.

Ranked the fourth best restaurant in Latin America at the time of writing, Pujol also dabbles in insect accompaniments. Pujol is most definitely a fine-dining establishment that may take some effort to even get a reservation for, but again, it’s worth taking the time (and money) to pay a visit. Here you can check out insects used in a much subtler way than just sticking them in a tortilla – at Pujol, they’re incorporated into the sauces and seasonings and added to the chef’s signature dishes.

The internationally acclaimed chef at Pujol, Enrique Olvera, continuously reinvents traditional Mexican dishes and their presentation, and is largely responsible for the country's gastronomic revolution. The dining experience here can be as educational as it is hedonistic, and the two seven-course menus are designed to create a holistic flavor experience. There is also a 10-course taco menu available, with drink pairings included.

In less than a decade at the celebrated Pujol and later at Máximo Bistrot, the restaurant he operates with his wife, Gabriela, in a corner of the Colonia Roma section of this thronging capital, Mr. García has garnered awards and plaudits for the bright clarity of the flavors his kitchen conjures and the subtly layered elegance of his efforts fusing classic French technique with traditional Mexican preparations and ingredients.

Pujol, Enrique Olvera’s celebrated ode to Mexican gastronomy, tops most lists of the best restaurants in Mexico City. The seasonal tasting menu showcases the kitchen's modern take on traditional Mexican techniques and ingredients, including a signature mole aged for over 2,000 days.

Pujol is perhaps the most well-known Mexican restaurant around the world. Head chef, Enrique Olvera, was one of the first chefs in the country to modernize Mexican cuisine and dared to serve food that was previously only ever found at street vendors in his fine dining restaurant.

Pujol consistently lands on the short list of best restaurants in Central and South America, and their taco didn't disappoint. Hiding underneath the avocado leaves (and behind the avocado puree) is a thick hunk of suckling lamb.

PUJOL– Apparently everyone has seen Netflix’s series Chef’s Table with Pujol’s Chef Enrique Olvera (he also now owns Cosme and Atla in NYC) except for me. I usually have a hard time enjoying myself at a restaurant that is SO hyped up, and in this case named #20 on The Worlds Best Restaurant list and #4 in ALL OF LATIN AMERICA. However, this time I soared off the plane right into one of the most beautiful restaurants with a perfect window table with perfectly positioned Instagram lighting at our seating arrangement (they renovated and moved to a new location a few months ago). Inside the restaurant is sleek, the neutral color palate makes you feel like you are in a modern museum that’s having a trendy party due to the uplifting, back lighting on the bar.

At the 2015 Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards, hosted in the city after two consecutive years in Lima, Peru, Quintonil nabbed Pujol’s crown as the top Mexican restaurant on the list. Both prepare elevated versions of traditional Mexican food like intense mole sauce (Pujol claims it’s mother sauce is more than two years old), tostadas, grilled meats and soups infused with traditional ingredients likes escamoles, chapulines, amaranth, maize, mamey and soursop. At Pujol, nothing is as it seems, at first– the chapulines are slivered and tucked into a salsa within an inflated tortilla encasing a molten poached egg, ants are powdered with baby corn, the amber mole sauce is silkier than any of the diner and home versions I’ve had.

So I was excited for my first experience at Pujol, number 13 on the 2018 list of the World’s 50 Best restaurants, the place where it all began for Olvera. (Actually, the original Pujol began in another location, not far from the current, beautiful, clubby restaurant in city’s tony Polanco neighborhood.) The restaurants are quite different from each other, Pujol fancier and more refined—you might say more "grown up"—than Cosme, offering an elegant tasting menu that draws on old and new ingredients and techniques. The famous Mole Madre, aged more than 1500 days and served with a new mole to contrast and brighten the funky flavor of the mother, is unique and beguiling.

While chef Enrique Olvera was redefining Mexican cuisine at his groundbreaking restaurant, Pujol, he was meticulously designing its new home in a bungalow 11 blocks away with architect Javier Sánchez and interior designer Micaela de Bernardi. In 2017, Olvera closed the doors of the original Pujol to invite diners within his stunning new home. Oozing the serenity of a Zen garden, Pujol’s minimalist, cosy interiors reveal a luminous world of granite, wood and clean modern lines, an intimate setting where the chef presents his daily-changing, six-course menu – throughout which Pujol’s wood-fire grill, central hearth and outdoor brick oven play a key role.

Renowned as one of the most celebrated restaurants in the world, Pujol offers a Michelin-starred dining experience that redefines Mexican cuisine. Located in the upscale Polanco district of Mexico City, Chef Enrique Olvera‘s flagship restaurant combines centuries-old culinary traditions with modern, avant-garde techniques, creating a truly unique journey through Mexico’s rich gastronomic heritage. At the heart of Pujol’s innovation is its iconic tasting menu, where dishes like the legendary mole madre, aged for over 2,500 days, and the contemporary street-style taco of the day exemplify Olvera’s genius.

While other fine dining restaurants came before Pujol, Enrique Olvera’s modern Mexican restaurant changed the game in the DF and continues to do so in its bigger, bolder new location. The new Pujol – now with a long bar that serves a taco omakase, a wood burning oven, and a leafy terrace – feels less stuffy than the original and more like Olvera’s New York restaurant Cosme. The 6-course tasting menus, driven by Olvera’s 2.5 acre plot at the chinampas of Xochimilco, are a crash course in Mexican ingredients and techniques, including everything from chicatana flying ants to nixtamalized butternut squash.

Chef Enrique Olvera’s acclaimed Pujol opened nearly two decades ago and is partly responsible for making Mexican cuisine with Mexican-based ingredients more fashionable to diners around the globe. “He created this new generation of chefs in his kitchen,” Landeta says, referring to the fact that Pujol is often credited as the breeding ground for Mexico City’s best chefs the same way two-Michelin-star restaurant Noma is in Copenhagen. “Today in Mexico, chefs don’t even call themselves chefs; they think it’s cooler to call themselves cocineros, or cooks, which is more traditional, less high-end.

The virtues of Pujol have been extolled by many a food critic, most recently the Wall Street Journal and the World’s 50 Best Restaurants ranking, for which Pujol places 12th. Headed by celebrity chef Enrique Olvera (famous for Cosme and Atla successes in New York), Pujol brings a refined approach to indigenous cuisine, serving up contemporary versions of staple dishes such as the mole madre with hoja santa (pepper leaf) tortillas and Oaxacan black mole. The omakase taco bar is another reason to make an advanced booking, to enjoy the eight- to 10-course tasting menu with cocktail pairings.

The most obvious and most talked about restaurant is Pujol, which I will write about soon but there’s also a restaurant led by a strong woman, chef and restauranteur Martha Ortiz called Dulce Patria, meaning Sweet Homeland. (Ms. Ortiz has another restaurant, Ella Canta in London, U.K.) This restaurant is consistently listed among Latin America’s top 50 restaurants for the past few years. The restaurant had tables filled with diners on a Wednesday night and enjoying Chef Oritz’s bold, vibrantly flavored food that has an artistic, sensual, female perspective to Mexican cuisine.

Landing a reservation at Pujol, one of the city’s finest dining establishments and one of San Pellegrino’s World’s 50 Best Restaurants, might be one of the most challenging things in Mexico City. Pujol is in Polanco, where winding lanes full of upscale restaurants, bars and small boutiques draw well-heeled Mexicans who are serious about indulgent food and drink. Celebrity chef­–owner Enrique Olvera offers a playful and elevated take on both street snacks and fine dining in his small and simple dining room—one that offers no distractions from the food.

This unpretentious European-style bistro opened its doors at the beginning of 2012 in the chic Colonia Roma neighborhood and quickly became the hottest restaurant in Mexico City. Run by chef and owner Eduardo García, who worked under Enrique Olvera of Pujol and toiled in Manhattan’s star-strewn Le Bernardín, the menu reflects rustic French and Italian cooking rooted firmly in Mexican soil. Representing a new generation of Mexican cooks introducing contemporary concepts into native cuisine, Garcia toys with tradition without losing respect for it.

The other two-star is Jorge Vallejo and Alejandra Flores’s Quintonil, where the tasting menu features plates like crab and blue corn tostada with pipian verde and crème fraîche sorbet with caviar and Melipona honey.

Located in the posh neighborhood of Polanco, which is home of some of the best restaurants in the country, Pujol serves contemporary Mexican cuisine, made using local ingredients, in a minimalistic setting. The tasting menu includes a dish called mole madre—a mole that changes all the time by adding new ingredients, just like a sourdough starter.

Chef Enrique Olvera, the celebrity chef behind New York’s Cosme – offers two different dining options at his highly acclaimed Pujol: a multi-course tasting menu in the formal dining room and a “taco omakase” meal at the low-slung bar featuring various tacos, antojitos, and botanas.

Pujol serves Mexican cuisine but as molecular gastronomy.

I'm not a big fan of mole if I'm honest, so I'm glad the chef at Pujol, Enrique Olvera, please include your amazing mole madre in both your tasting and on the Omakase menu because it's something I probably wouldn't order myself. Anyone who has seen the Netflix episode Chef's Table with Enrique will know that this mole has been literally years in the making. Its beauty is in its simplicity, it is just 2 types of delicious mole served on a plate with a tortilla.

Mexico City is a foodie’s paradise, so you know there has to be something really special going on for a restaurant to consistently be named as the city’s best for almost two decades.

Pujol is chef Enrique Olvera’s vision to create a gastronomic haven – a contemporary perspective regarding Mexican traditions and heritage.

The savory sauce is also made from mashed chicatana ants mixed into the coffee-mayonnaise sauce.
