Nom<\/strong><\/p>\n People seeking a different cuisine experience must visit Nom in Polanco. Located in the March\u00e9 Dumas alley on Alejandro Dumas, Nom is some sort of speakeasy, an open secret with a capacity for only 16 guests. Chef Alejandro Daboud, a Les Roches Marbella graduate, spent many years in that land created gastronomic concepts in a variety of restaurants before returning to Mexico City to launch this interesting concept. This new place offers an omakase menu, meaning the traditional Japanese restaurants where guests sit at the bar and the chef decides what to serve them. In this case, it\u2019s the same concept without being Japanese, they use seasonal ingredients with an emphasis on fish and seafood. They offer a 4-5 course lunch, but dinner consists of nothing less than 9-11 courses, with a wine pairing option. Although the menu changes every day, some of their signature dishes include the foie waffle with black truffles and organic honey, the wagyu steak tartar with caviar, and the hamachi with yuzu vinaigrette and crunchy nori.<\/p>\n restaurantenom.com<\/a><\/p>\n Alejandro Dumas 125 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Tel: 84343888<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aida Caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n There are very few places within the Santa Fe Shopping Mall that truly offer a good gastronomic experience, that\u2019s why this new place, Aida Caf\u00e9, really caught my attention. On the first floor of Via Santa Fe you\u2019ll find this terrace by Grupo Hunan in collaboration with Chef Ana Martorell. The chef originally opened Aromas in Lomas, separated and then devoted herself to creating a variety of gastronomic experiences, including events and cooking courses, before opening this new place, where you\u2019ll feel as if you walked into a French vineyard. The menu offers international dishes with a Mexican twist. The dishes I highly recommend are: the divorced carpaccio with radish and avocado, the corn envelop with mole and green sauce gelatin, the grilled Cesar salad, the shank with Poblano pepper puree and chargrilled tortilla sauce. For dessert lovers, the rosemary cheesecake and caramel envelop, a caramel tamal with mascarpone sauce, it\u2019s delicious!<\/p>\n www.aidacafe.mx<\/a><\/p>\n V\u00eda Santa Fe, Planta Baja\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tel: 21678614<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Q\u00fc-Qoo Kitchen Bar<\/strong><\/p>\n For those in the Lomas area, Q\u00fc-Qoo Kitchen Bar on Avenida de las Palmas is one of those exciting new launches. A restaurant with a great ambiance, incredible decor, excellent drinks and good food, a surprising place from the minute you step inside. The chef behind all this is Irak Roaro, from the renowned Hotel Casa Awolly in Condesa. To start, we suggest ordering the Peregrino with sake, mezcal, lychee and cucumber. For the main course, our favorites are the sea bass tiradito, the suadero and truffles poutine, the ceviche with tiger\u2019s milk, and the hamburger with foie gras and burrata. If you are one of those who can\u2019t finish a meal without something sweet, try the cardamom pastries filled with caramel, you won\u2019t regret it!<\/p>\n Paseo de las Palmas 530\u00a0\u00a0 Tel: 84942823<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Guli Hagadol<\/strong><\/p>\n For Mediterranean food lovers, Guli Hagadol recently opened its doors in Polanco to offer the best of Israeli food. It is a casual place on Galileo street, where you can try a variety of salads and pickled vegetables, such as the traditional hummus, babaganoush, cous cous, tabbouleh, rice with lentils, and other entrees. For the main dish, we recommend the falafel wrap in pita bread, or the marinated turkey shawarma on the grill. To conclude this experience with something sweet, you must try the desert delicacy, it features vanilla ice cream with homemade date honey and pecans. If you are visiting for breakfast, you must try the traditional shakshouka, fried eggs in a tomato and green pepper sauce.<\/p>\n Galileo 31\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tel: 5264 5737<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Masala y Ma\u00edz<\/strong><\/p>\n Masala y Ma\u00edz is a research kitchen, a unique place located in San Miguel Chapultepec.

They both share an interest in the migration of foods, the culinary techniques of various countries, and the combination of ingredients, achieving interesting dishes.

It all started in 1988, when three friends at the University of Alabama met Mou, famous in the community of Alabama for his unique way of preparing barbecue and other typical Southern US dishes. After sharing with them his cooking style, recipes and preparation methods, they founded Mou\u2019s Original BBQ, now present in more than 50 cities of the United States. Its specialty are the sandwiches, we recommend the pulled pork, the smoked turkey breast, and the Moy Boy battered shrimp dressed with a creamy tartar sauce, cabbage and pickles, our favorite without a doubt! Pair your sandwich with the mac and cheese or the pork meatballs, they are well worth the calories.<\/p>\n www.moesoriginalbbq.com<\/a><\/p>\n R\u00edo Tiber 96\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tel: 59202742<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.michelleonbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Aida-Cafe\u0301-6.jpg\")
