You’ve received a CDMX list before… sent on the notes section straight off a friend of a friend's phone or forwarded email: no photos, no descriptions, just long overwhelming lists.
It includes the standards; Contramar, Pujol, Quintonil & Taqueria Orinoco, etc. If you go to any of them, you probably won’t be disappointed but would your curiosity really be satiated?
It took me going back and forth dozens of times to put this list together specifically for you - the sophisticated traveler, the person who appreciates a dedication to craftsmanship, the one who considers how an experience delivers on ALL of our senses.
Whether you’re going for a day, week, or longer, this list help guide you to places that you’ll actually enjoy; quality products, cool people, great aesthetics, etc. This guide is for those of you that appreciate THE FEELS. The intangible indie, alternative, quality, unique, timeless, thoughtful & well done experience.
Mexico City is a fantasy fulfilled, magic in real time; it is romantic, sensual, charming and a warm experience. This is a city where you feel immediately embraced. It is an environment meant to inspire and gives a long runway for your imagination to truly create.
The places in this guide will expose you to a community of people who appreciate experiences like you do. The thoughtful curation in this guide opens up a chance to deepen intimacy and to truly be connected to something new. You never know who you will meet, where you’ll get invited, what connections you will create.
This list comes with custom descriptions, current photos, my top picks in each area, women-owned businesses, and an up to date google map with bonus spots. It highlights timeless and unique insights: from charming and luxury boutique hotels, top-tier restaurants to neighborhood bistros, cafes, museums and parks, antique shops to fashion boutiques, along with iconic must-sees and little‑known places.
