4 Great Restaurants in Campos Elíseos for A Culinary Journey
Visiting another country involves discovering new perspectives on life, listening to new music, tasting new flavors, and taking home new pictures. For now, let’s focus on Mexico’s richness—especially its culinary offerings. In today’s post, I would like to introduce you to some excellent restaurants in Campos Elíseos, Polanco, one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the country.
Luckily enough, all four can be found in the same, rather prestigious 5-star hotel, Presidente InterContinental Mexico City. The hotel chain is known for their quality service and incredible amenities in every establishment across the country.
Visitors to Mexico City and locals are blessed with the many restaurants Presidente InterContinental has to offer, and today I will tell you why.
A Delight for the Palate
Let’s take a culinary tour of the hotel’s main restaurants: Au Pied de Cochon, Alfredo Di Roma, The Palm, and Chapulín. Each has its own unique concept and a delicious selection of dishes to please everyone’s palate. Let’s have a closer look at them, shall we?
1. Au Pied de Cochon
Au Pied de Cochon is a piece of Paris in the vibrant Mexican capital. As the only branch of the famous Parisian brasserie in the country, it promises a real French dining experience. The concept here is simple—classic French cuisine served in an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere.
Many diners recommend the onion soup as a main course and the duck foie gras as a second course. You can order a warm goat cheese salad as an appetizer. Finish your meal and transport your taste buds to the heart of France with a crème brûlée, a specialty of the house.
2. Alfredo Di Roma
Alfredo Di Roma is a celebrated Italian restaurant that perfectly embodies the flavors and traditions of Italy. Its warm and inviting atmosphere makes it an excellent choice for romantic dinners, casual business lunches, or weekend family outings.
The concept here is «la cucina tradizionale»—traditional Italian cuisine. The menu features a selection of homemade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and an excellent wine selection. A highly recommended dish is the Fettuccine Alfredo prepared at the table, a true Italian classic with worldwide recognition.
3. The Palm
If you’re a fan of hearty American fare, The Palm is the restaurant in Polanco for you. Its dark wood interiors and classic steakhouse charm make it a favorite of many demanding diners.
The concept at The Palm is straightforward: the finest quality steaks, seafood, and traditional American sides. The steaks are tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection. Their hamburgers are mandatory, and the New York cheesecake for dessert is the cherry on top.
4. Chapulín
Chapulín is a vibrant fusion restaurant that offers a modern take on traditional Mexican flavors. The name, which means «grasshopper» in Spanish, represents innovation and creativity, just like the cuisine itself.
This renowned restaurant has earned its reputation for its outstanding wine collection and diverse selection of mezcals. Its concept is to blend the rich heritage of Mexican cuisine with contemporary culinary techniques.
The menu features a wide variety of dishes, from street food-inspired tacos to sophisticated seafood dishes. Among the most popular ones is chicken with black mole sauce. Be sure to try it!
