How this list is chosen: Restaurants with a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award or a deep wine list, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Al Andalus
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Al Andalus sits on the first floor of a building along Insurgentes Sur in San Ángel, one of Mexico City's most architecturally consistent southern neighbourhoods. The address places it within a district that draws a loyal local crowd rather than a tourist circuit, suggesting a kitchen that earns return visits on the strength of what arrives at the table rather than its postcode alone.
Alfredo Di Roma Mexico
Wine Spectator Grand Award · Deep wine list
Inside the Presidente Intercontinental in Polanco, Alfredo Di Roma Mexico brings a European dining tradition to one of Mexico City's most established hotel corridors. The wine program spans 2,110 selections across 40,000 bottles, with coverage running from Champagne and Bordeaux through to Mexican and South American labels. Lunch and dinner service, with cuisine priced at the accessible end of Polanco's restaurant spectrum.
Asturiano
Deep wine list
Asturiano occupies a Polanco address on Calle Arquímedes 4, placing it inside Mexico City's most concentrated corridor of serious dining. The restaurant operates within a neighbourhood where multi-course format and editorial recognition have become baseline expectations, and where the competition for a reader's evening runs directly against Pujol, Quintonil, and a handful of other destination-grade rooms.
Au Pied de Cochon
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
For more than two decades, Au Pied de Cochon has anchored French cuisine in Polanco, Mexico City's most formally appointed dining neighbourhood. The kitchen works within a classic Parisian brasserie tradition that has remained consistent while the city's restaurant scene has shifted dramatically around it. It sits at the upper end of Polanco's price tier, in the company of addresses that treat the dining room as destination rather than backdrop.
Brutal
Deep wine list
A wine bar in San Miguel Chapultepec shaped by years of French-origin wine importing and distribution in Mexico, Brutal channels that sourcing intelligence into a focused, producer-led list that sits apart from Mexico City's restaurant-forward wine culture. The room rewards those who arrive knowing what they want, but the format is forgiving enough to let the wine do the explaining.
Cantinetta del Becco
Deep wine list
Cantinetta del Becco occupies a basement address inside Santa Fe's Torre 1, placing Italian-leaning dining inside one of Mexico City's most corporate-facing neighbourhoods. The venue sits at a remove from the Condesa-Roma axis that dominates fine dining conversation in the capital, making it a reference point for how European culinary traditions have taken root in the city's western business corridors.
Chapulín
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Chapulín occupies a prominent position among Polanco's Mexican dining rooms, drawing guests with technique-driven cooking rooted in Mexican culinary history. Located on Campos Elíseos 218, the restaurant has built a following on the strength of its kitchen's relationship to tradition and flavour rather than novelty. For a neighbourhood defined by international competition, Chapulín's sustained relevance speaks to consistent execution over time.
Eloise
Deep wine list
The address for Eloise is Av. Revolución 1521, Campestre, Álvaro Obregón, 01040 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico.
Eloise Chic Bistrot
Deep wine list
Eloise Chic Bistrot pairs modern French bistro cooking with an extensive wine list and a conversational, smart-casual room for leisurely lunches or dinners.
Emilio
Deep wine list
On Avenida Emilio Castelar in Polanco, Emilio occupies a quieter register than its neighbourhood peers, positioned along one of the district's tree-lined stretches that draws a local rather than tourist-heavy crowd. The restaurant sits in a part of Mexico City where design and setting increasingly carry as much weight as the plate, placing it alongside a generation of venues where physical space is a primary editorial statement.
Estoril
Deep wine list
Estoril sits in Polanco's dining corridor, where the neighbourhood's appetite for European-inflected cooking has long coexisted with Mexico City's broader shift toward ingredient-led, ecologically conscious cuisine. The address on Alejandro Dumas places it within walking distance of some of the capital's most closely watched restaurant projects, making it a natural point of reference for anyone mapping the area's current dining direction.
Fornería del Becco
Deep wine list
Fornería del Becco occupies a retail slot in the Jardines del Pedregal stretch of Periférico Sur, a neighbourhood that rewards knowing where to look. The address places it in a local-facing tier of Mexico City dining, away from the reservation-heavy corridors of Polanco and Roma Norte.
Gardela
Deep wine list
On Avenida Álvaro Obregón in Roma Norte, Gardela occupies a stretch of Mexico City where sustainability-conscious dining has quietly taken root alongside the neighbourhood's established creative scene. With limited publicly available data, the restaurant invites discovery on its own terms, a fitting posture for a city whose dining culture consistently rewards the curious over the casual.
Hugo
Deep wine list
Hugo is a Michelin Plate wine bar on Avenida Veracruz in Roma Norte, holding a White Star recognition from Star Wine List (published September 2025). At the mid-range price tier, it sits at the intersection of Mexico City's natural-wine culture and the neighbourhood's increasingly wine-forward dining scene.
IL Becco
Deep wine list
IL Becco sits on Paseo de la Reforma in the Juárez district, placing it at one of Mexico City's most significant addresses for international dining. The restaurant operates within a corridor where Italian-inflected concepts have found a durable audience alongside the capital's celebrated contemporary Mexican scene. For travellers orienting around Reforma, it represents a considered alternative to the city's dominant fine-dining narrative.
La Mansion
Deep wine list
La Mansion occupies a residential address in Lomas de Chapultepec, one of Mexico City's more established western neighbourhoods, where the dining register tends toward formal and unhurried. The address places it within reach of Polanco's denser restaurant corridor while operating at a remove from it, a distinction that shapes the kind of evening it offers.
La Quilla - Condesa
Deep wine list
La Quilla in Condesa sits inside one of Mexico City's most food-literate neighbourhoods, where the appetite for serious coastal and Mexican cooking runs deep. The address on Avenida Michoacán places it at the edge of a dining corridor that rewards walkers willing to explore beyond the obvious names. Expect a room shaped by the rhythms of the barrio rather than the formality of the city's tasting-menu circuit.
La Quilla - Rio Lerma
Deep wine list
La Quilla on Río Lerma operates in Colonia Cuauhtémoc, one of Mexico City's quieter residential pockets, where the dining scene has grown steadily outside the Polanco and Roma circuits. With limited publicly available data, the venue rewards those willing to seek it out rather than those following a well-worn shortlist. Consider it an entry point into a part of the city where neighbourhood context matters as much as the plate.
La Quilla Polanco
Deep wine list
La Quilla Polanco occupies a quieter corner of Anatole France in Mexico City's Polanco district, where the neighbourhood's appetite for sourcing-conscious cooking has produced a dining tier distinct from the capital's more theatrical flagships. The address places it within walking distance of Polanco's main restaurant corridor, offering a counterpoint to the area's louder, more export-facing dining rooms.
La Taberna del León
Deep wine list
La Taberna del León occupies a residential pocket of Mexico City, operating in a dining register that rewards those who seek out neighbourhood character over marquee addresses. With its address in Cañada, Álvaro Obregón, the taberna format positions it as a deliberate counterpoint to the high-profile tasting-menu circuit, making it a considered choice for occasion dining where intimacy and setting carry as much weight as the plate.
Lilōu
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Lilōu occupies a quiet address on Campos Elíseos in Polanco, one of Mexico City's most considered dining corridors. The restaurant sits in a neighbourhood where sourcing credentials and culinary precision define the competitive conversation, placing it alongside a cohort of Mexico City tables where ingredient provenance shapes the menu before technique does. Reservations and current hours are best confirmed directly with the venue.
Martínez
Deep wine list
A Michelin Plate recipient in 2024 and 2025, Martínez sits on Puebla Street in Roma Norte among Mexico City's densest concentration of serious contemporary dining. Chef Maycoll Calderon's kitchen works within a contemporary framework that draws on Mexican culinary tradition without reducing itself to heritage performance. At the mid-range price point, it represents one of the more considered entries in the neighbourhood's competitive field.
Nobu
Deep wine list
Nobu Mexico City brings the Japanese-Peruvian fusion format that defined a generation of international fine dining to Bosques de las Lomas, one of the capital's most affluent western corridors. The Tamarindos address places it within a business-district dining cluster that skews toward international brands and expense-account spending. For Mexico City diners familiar with the Nobu global template, the local iteration delivers the expected architectural menu of cold dishes, hot appetisers, and signature mains that have made the brand a durable fixture across forty-plus countries.
One Pound Terraza
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
One Pound Terraza occupies a rooftop position in Lomas de Chapultepec, one of Mexico City's most established residential enclaves, bringing an open-air format to a neighbourhood better known for private clubs and old-money discretion. The address places it a deliberate distance from the Polanco dining circuit, which shapes both its booking patterns and its clientele.
Plonk
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
A Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognised Mexican restaurant on Iztaccihuatl in Hipódromo, Plonk sits in the accessible mid-range tier of a city where fine dining has never been more competitive.
Prime Steak Club
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Prime Steak Club sits directly on Paseo de la Reforma, steps from the Ángel de la Independencia, as part of the Sonora Grill Group's party-format steakhouse portfolio. The format trades white-tablecloth formality for high-energy dining with theatrical lighting and a crowd that arrives to celebrate. It occupies a distinct tier among Mexico City's meat-focused restaurants, louder, more festive, and built around a different kind of night out than the city's tasting-menu circuit.
Pujol
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Pujol is Mexico City's benchmark modern Mexican dining room, led by Enrique Olvera and carrying Michelin two-star recognition, La Liste 98 points for 2026, and a long run on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list. The experience sits in the high-price tier and is better understood as a national culinary reference point than as a simple tasting-menu stop.
Quattro Gastronomia Italiana
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Quattro occupies a specific niche in Santa Fe's corporate dining corridor: a sit-down restaurant positioned for occasion meals in a district where most options trend toward quick-service or hotel buffets. For diners working or staying in Mexico City's western business zone, it functions as a reliable address when the meal needs to mark something.
Quintonil
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Quintonil is one of Mexico City's defining modern Mexican dining rooms, with Jorge Vallejo's cooking placing native herbs, vegetables, masa, insects and local technique inside a contemporary tasting-menu format. Recognition includes Michelin two stars, Les Grandes Tables du Monde membership, La Liste 96 points for 2026, and a 2026 Opinionated About Dining North America ranking at No. 35.
Raíz
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
A Michelin Bib Gourmand winner for 2024 and 2025, Raíz operates in Polanco at a price point well below its neighbourhood peers, pairing contemporary Mexican cooking with a 600-bottle wine list that earned a White Star from Star Wine List. The sommelier-forward team and focus on Mexican and French labels make the wine program an unusually serious proposition for a room at this price.
Romina
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Romina occupies a considered position within Polanco's dense restaurant corridor, where the neighbourhood's appetite for European-inflected dining meets a more restrained, wine-focused sensibility. Positioned against the area's heavier-hitting tasting-menu addresses, it offers an alternative register: one where the cellar and the kitchen carry equal weight. For visitors mapping Mexico City's upper-mid dining tier, it merits attention alongside peers like Rosetta and Em.
Sepia
Deep wine list
Sepia brings Italian kitchen traditions to Roma Norte, with handmade pasta, seafood, risotto, and charcuterie at the centre of a focused menu. The address on Sinaloa 170 places it within one of Mexico City's most active dining corridors, where it competes quietly against a wider field of creative Italian and European cooking. The wine list reinforces the Italian commitment throughout.
Somma Wine Bar
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
On one of Cuauhtémoc's most restaurant-dense streets, Somma operates as a focused wine bar occupying a compact, intimate space at Río Lerma 159. The format prioritizes wine curation over scale, making it a deliberate counterpoint to the neighbourhood's broader food-and-drink scene. For visitors tracing Mexico City's emerging wine culture, it sits on a short list of places worth planning around.
Sud 777
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Sud 777 operates from Jardines del Pedregal with a plant-forward Mexican kitchen that has earned a Michelin star and placed as high as #70 on the World's 50 Best list. Chef Edgar Núñez draws from an on-site vegetable garden to produce dishes that read simple on the plate but carry real technical depth. The wine list runs to 2,300 bottles with strong representation from Mexico, Italy, and California.
The Palm Mexico City-Polanco
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
The Palm on Campos Elíseos brings a particular strain of American steakhouse tradition to Polanco, one that predates the farm-to-table era and has no interest in pretending otherwise. Dark wood, dim lighting, and a menu anchored in prime cuts and whole lobster position it as a deliberate counterpoint to Mexico City's contemporary dining scene. For those who return regularly, the draw is precisely that nothing changes.
Vigneron
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
A Michelin Bib Gourmand wine bar on Jalapa in Roma Norte, Vigneron pairs a French-Mexican kitchen under Chef Itzel Melendez with a 650-bottle cellar that leans heavily on France, Spain, and Italy. With three sommeliers on the floor and a wine list recognised by Star Wine List, it occupies a distinct tier among the neighbourhood's wine-focused rooms.
