The city is on a culinary par with Paris or Bangkok
“Mexico City’s global reputation has been on an upswing for some time”, and among its greatest glories is its food scene, says Gary Shteyngart in Condé Nast Traveller. It has some of the world’s best restaurants – it is on a culinary par with Paris or Bangkok – and in recent years the city’s chefs, such as Enrique Olvera (whose Pujol has featured on the World’s Best Restaurants list for nearly a decade) have been “recognised on the world stage”. But their sophisticated modern gastronomy has deep local roots, and any food tour should take in a wide range of the city’s eateries.
