MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Two Stars: Excellent cooking

This captivating dining room from Chef Jorge Vallejo and his wife Alejandra Flores is named for an herb native to Oaxaca. It bears a discreet facade which belies the stunning experience within. The look is chic; more cool than luxurious and far from stuffy. The elegant cuisine is an enticing melding of excellent local product, impressive execution, and great creativity to produce refined compositions. The tasting menu is constantly evolving but may reveal delights such as crab and shards of blue corn tostada arranged with a vivid pipian verde enhanced with untraditional elements like galangal, lemongrass, and makrut lime. The chef's command of balance is evident in a stunning finale of crème fraîche sorbet, caviar, and Melipona honey.
