TRAVEL GUIDE MEXICO CITY

As we turn our attention back to the place where our story began, we’re celebrating the roots that shaped our brand. Mexico is home for Mon & Pau—the birthplace of our craft, our inspiration, and our shared vision. We’re delighted to share this special guide that honors the vibrant culture and creativity that continue to define our DNA.

MORNING

Amanda Manda
Morning light, French-Mexican pastries, and a calm start in Roma.
(Get the chilaquiles)

Café Tormenta
Minimal espresso kiosk with a turntable. Small, serious, with just the right energy to begin the day.

LUNCH

Havre 77
French bistro in a Porfirian townhouse. Easygoing, stylish, with just
the right patina.

La Once Mil
Best tacos.

Ultramarinos Demar
Wine and Seafood.
Feels like a day at the coast without leaving town. Halfway between a bistro and a diner, the space hums with energy. Don’t skip dessert: a tower of soft-serve hit with lemon zest.

Sushi Iwashi
A discreet Japanese counter in Polanco. Precise, reverent, quietly exceptional.

SHOPPING & DESIGN

Perla Valtierra
Ceramics with sculptural elegance-pieces that feel as much art as tableware. Perla has spent over 15-years honing her craft.

Onora Casa San Miguel Chapultepec
Craft reimagined as design. Objects with soul, rooted in Mexican tradition but utterly modern.

Xinú (Juaréz outpost)
Botanical fragrances in sculptural glass bottles. Distinctly Mexican, sensual, cerebral.

DINNER

Bar Nino
Italian-Mediterranean menu from the team behind Hugo Wine Bar. Polished but relaxed, it’s where locals book before word spreads.

Máximo
The benchmark for contemporary fine dining. Market-driven menus, French technique, Mexican soul.

CULTURE

Museo de Antropología
Monumental, magnetic, impossible to skip. The city’s most important institution.

Museo Tamayo
A bold modernist shell filled with contemporary art. Always alive.

Galería Nordenhake
A crisp, contemporary.  International voices, local resonance.

NIGHT

Ticuchi
A mezcal temple from Enrique Olvera.
Dark, intimate, designed for late nights.

Las Brujas
A cocktail bar with atmosphere to spare. Mystical, candlelit, already a cult favorite.
