Where the Chef Behind Mexico City’s Máximo Bistrot Loves to Eat
A phenomenal Mexico City edition
Welcome to The Relisher’s fourth Mexico City edition! This week, I met Eduardo García, the chef and owner of Máximo Bistrot in Mexico City—a regular on Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants.
Chef García, considered one of Mexico’s most important chefs, worked under culinary titans including Eric Ripert and Enrique Olvera at Pujol, before opening Máximo Bistrot. Today, Máximo is celebrated as one of Mexico City’s best restaurants—and a favorite among the city’s top chefs. Two-Michelin-starred Jorge Vallejo and Michelin-starred Lucho Martinez have both called it their absolute favorite.
Below, the local chef shares his best places to eat and drink in Mexico City. From his favorite restaurants to taco stands, cocktail bars, coffee shops, and more—these are his top picks right now.
