Wine Spectator Award-Winning Restaurants in Mexico City

Al Andalus

Mexico City, Mexico

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.

Au Pied de Cochon

Mexico City, Mexico

Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence

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.

Lilōu

Mexico City, Mexico

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.

One Pound Terraza

Mexico City, Mexico

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

Mexico City, Mexico

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

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

Mexico City, Mexico

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

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.

Raíz

Mexico City, Mexico

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

Mexico City, Mexico

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

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.

Somma Wine Bar

Mexico City, Mexico

Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

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.
