Mexico City, Mexico

Mexico City is made for eating well. Mornings begin with the scent of coffee and fresh pastries, afternoons stretch into long lunches, and nights come alive with mezcal and music. The city blends tradition with creativity, always with a generous spirit.

We spent days exploring kitchens, cafés, and hidden corners to find places that capture its flavor and warmth. Each one tells a story through food, atmosphere, and the people who make it special.

Here is what makes them so COZY
