A
Bistrot Mosaico
A slice of Paris just west of Av Insurgentes, this unpretentious bistro is the successful creation of French restaurateur François Avernin. It’s trendy for a reason: the service is stellar, the salads fresh and varied, and the wines well chosen. Picnickers can stock up on pâté and escargots at the deli counter.

Saint Honoré
This restaurant is especially famous for its vast choice of excellent local and imported wines, having won a place on the Wine Spectator ’s ‘Outstanding Wines’ list for four consecutive years. The romantic dining room has dreamy Mediterranean seascape murals and a menu that includes innovative French dishes like escalopes de foie gras de canard chaud aux framboises (slices of warm duck foie gras pâté with raspberries).

Bistrot la Bourgogne
There’s a real inside-outside feel to the dining room here, with its glass ceiling and ivy-draped rafters. Wicker furniture and red geraniums complete the sunny Mediterranean look, while the menu is of the bistro rather than blue-ribbon variety, with classic dishes like snails, terrines, moist tuna steaks and creamy foie gras. Chef Fernand Gutiérrez is used to the discerning bourgeoisie, having worked in the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons hotels.

Photo Bistro
A French bistro cum photo gallery – how could it miss in Condesa? Indeed on any given evening, a smart set fills the intimate Photo Bistro, one of several fine eateries facing the fountain of tiny Plaza Citlaltépetl. Mexican ingredients enliven some of the artistically presented French fare here: slices of jicama add crunch to the spinach salad, and the salmon carpaccio rests on a bed of honeyed amaranth.

Rojo Bistrot
On a leafy corner near Parque México, this eatery is popular as much for its vibrant social scene as for the French-inspired cuisine. Regulars recommend the duck in passion fruit sauce and octopus risotto.
