EATING FANCY -EVEN THOUGH NOT NEEDED- IN MEXICO CITY
Mexico DF is a great city. And as all the greatest cities in the world, it’s crowded, messy, full of fancy places but also hidden pearls (tacky sentence, I admit). My favorites places begins with the gourmet Pujol but finishes with tacos al pastor at the streets or tamales from Fleur de Lys, a very modest restaurant in Condesa.
During my last visit to Mexico City, I visited Biko (photo above), a serious fancy restaurant inside a boutique hotel in the upscale Masarik. Even though the presentation wasn’t good everytime -trying too much to be modern- we had a great lunch. I just felt the restaurant need more life. Co-owned by San Sebastián chef Bruno Oteiza, who focuses on a basque combination of ingredients. Worth visiting it.
