It is located in an old house that overlooks La Amargura street, and yes, in addition to its interior living room with huge windows, it has a beautiful garden with a huge tree and bougainvillea. Their cuisine is inspired by the farm-to-table, that is, from the field to your table, since everything they cook is prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients from local producers and ranches. Try their salads, roasted vegetables, and rib-eye.
Esca
Esca is also another restaurant with terraces and gardens in Mexico City. It is practically a new spot in the capital, as it opened its doors last year, inside an old Porfirian mansion in Roma. The place also has an indoor lounge with an open kitchen and a bar on top. Its cuisine is inspired by Italian and Mediterranean gastronomy that prioritizes seafood, since 70% of its menu is fish and seafood that comes from the Mexican Pacific.

Its gastronomy is inspired by ‘country cuisine’, that is, its proposal is simple but enhances the flavors of the food. The menu includes pizzas, as well as salads, roasted vegetables, and grilled catch of the day.
Bella Aurora
Finally, we have Bella Aurora, a terrace in the Roma neighborhood. This restaurant is surrounded by plants and vines on the roof that give it a wooded feel and the feeling of being in the middle of nature.
