Barra Lupe 

Inspired by Mexico’s cantinas and markets, La Lupe is a mexpendio that puts corn at the center of its menu, with drinks crafted by bartender Claudia Cabrera. Here, you can enjoy traditional Mexican snacks, garnachas, and beverages from across the country. The food menu is made with yellow corn from the State of Mexico and blue corn from Michoacán, both nixtamalized and ground in-house daily.

La Lupe welcomes you with a chalupita or a tlacoyit. Then, you can choose from appetizers such as the tetela made with green beans from the chinampa region, a dish from the cold bar like red shrimp aguachile, or their tongue tacos. Don’t miss the chamorro cantinero with red chili adobo, and for a memorable finish, their buñuelos.

Au Pied de Cochon

Located inside the Presidente InterContinental Mexico City hotel, Au Pied de Cochon México has remained the only franchise outside of France and today celebrates its 25th anniversary, delighting diners with internationally renowned dishes such as oven-roasted pork shank with Béarnaise sauce, the traditional onion soup (a favorite of many), confit suckling pig, and Burgundy-style escargots, among many others.

Just like in Paris, Au Pied de Cochon México is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is recognized as one of the best spots for traditional French cuisine in Mexico—ideal for both late-night visitors and early risers. Executive chef Frédéric Lobjois, Parisian at heart, leads the restaurant’s kitchen impeccably, honoring the high quality standards and culinary guidelines of Au Pied de Cochon Paris.

Emilio

Located on Emilio Castelar, this restaurant is a must-visit for Spanish cuisine, whose quality ingredients have made it a reference point in the Polanco neighborhood and one of the best restaurants in Mexico according to the Guía México Gastronómico, Los 250 Restaurantes 2025.

Among olive-colored walls and with a panoramic view of Parque Lincoln, chef Juan Alberto Rojo brings the flavors and traditions of Spanish cuisine to life in every creation—from pintxos and tapas to both classic and signature cocktails—offering a complete experience for every palate.

The house specialties are rice dishes and grilled plates, along with exceptional mastery in the proper cooking of fish and seafood. Its outstanding selection of Spanish wines is not to be missed.

Joe & The Juice

It opened a few weeks ago in Colonia Roma. It’s the new juice bar arriving in Mexico directly from Denmark. Its concept combines coffee, juices, and sandwiches in a relaxed atmosphere, offering something for every taste. Menu highlights include the Tunacado, Turkey, and Avocado sandwiches, while drink options range from the Sports Juice to the Pick Me Up, as well as freshly prepared coffee — latte, flat white, and drip.

Joe & The Juice presents itself as a fitness and wellness option for those looking to take care of themselves during their stay in the city. It is designed as an urban meeting point with the mission of offering a space where well-being, music, community, and flavor naturally come together.
