The mecca of brunch introduced by Mexico City residents, Part 1

One of my most cherished spaces in Mexico City. The restaurant's name, Malix, is derived from Mayan, meaning 'irrespective of race/origin.' It sources seasonal ingredients in small quantities from various parts of Mexico to offer the most appropriate menu for the season. On weekdays and Saturdays, it serves charming small dishes and cocktails, while Sundays feature a unique Mexican brunch not found in other restaurants.

Mostaza presents a menu with a visual that anyone can't help but fall in love with at first sight. Although it claims to be European comfort food, in fact, the word 'Mostaza-like' is more appropriate for this place than 'European-like'.

Due to the pandemic, indoor seating is not available, and only three tables outside are available. To make matters worse, since it is a takeout service, there are no proper tableware, so only biodegradable plastic plates are provided, and drinks are not sold, so customers have to buy their own at a nearby convenience store or a wine shop opposite.

However, the visual and taste that all of this is forgiven... Isn't it already convincing with just a picture... The combination of dark chocolate, jamon, and foie gras on ink bread was an unexpected encounter of ingredients. But chocolate and foie gras make the ingredients sticky, and fruit and lemon juice wash away the greasy feeling, so it is a well-made dish that you can't find anywhere else.

Aren't you curious about the fact that you can enjoy a unique menu that can't be tasted anywhere else in the world in the narrowest place in the world? Recommended and recommended as a hidden spot in Mexico City.

The bustling brunch cafe and restaurant Lardo in Mexico City is hard to visit without a reservation, and you'll likely endure an hour's wait unless you reserve through the OpenTable app, where only bar seats may be available without it. The menu, a fusion of traditional Mexican brunch with various creative endeavors, captures one's attention. The Southeast Asian-style sea bream with a thick peanut sauce and cucumber, along with the spicy Mexican BBQ dishes, were particularly impressive. Regardless of whether visitors are tourists or locals, it's a place that will satisfy. The locally brewed beer recommended by the server complemented the weather in Mexico City well, and its vibrant, greenhouse-like atmosphere was memorable. It's a perfect spot for enjoying a lively brunch with friends on a nice day.

Signora Mariola, a bakery and brunch cafe near the Spanish Hospital in Mexico City. The space is spacious and calm, and as it is a dog-friendly space, it feels like a leisurely tea time place for local dog owners.

Although it has been a long time since I lived in Central and South America and disappointed my expectations for desserts, the quality of the mille-feuille here is one of the best I've ever eaten in my life. In addition to bread, the meal menu, such as the avocado open sandwich, was also quite satisfactory.

The unfortunate thing is that it is not a good environment for tapping a laptop. This is because most of the seats are high and high bar seats and low and low table + sofa seats. However, it is the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely weekend brunch.

Cachies Bagels, a charming bagel shop in the Roma district of Mexico City, has been bustling since its opening in July. It's particularly popular among guests from the Americas and Europe. It's a mystery how they all find this place without a blog...

You can order a half-and-half open sandwich, so I tried the salmon toast and Honey Bunny, half a piece each. The salmon toast is deliciously savory with smoked salmon, dill, thick cream cheese, capers, onions, and the perfect finishing touch of lemon juice, yellow tomatoes and a generous serving of fresh black pepper. Honey Bunny is a sweet and fragrant open sandwich with peanut cream, honey, and apples. The combination of these two menus is simply great!

Even if you just order bagels and cream cheese, they generously spread cream cheese with fruits on the side. There are about seven types of bagels and the bread itself is very tasty, making it a good place to have a refreshing and satisfying brunch time. However, since it's newly opened, the system is lacking and the temporary building-like atmosphere may feel a bit chaotic, making the service and space aspect subjective to personal taste. Despite this, the sandwiches are so satisfying, I recommend it without hesitation!

Mexican egg drop De Huevos. It mainly sells Mexican breakfasts with scrambled eggs or sunny side up as main ingredients. Rather than the usual menu, try the menu with Gulf ingredients such as Chilaquiles (nachos dipped in salsa) or Frijoles (mashed kidney beans)!
