  1. A

    Vittore Italian Grill

    This elegant spot with romantic patio seating features delicious calorie-rich pasta dishes and memorable seafood and beef dishes. The service is rather formal.

    Rayuela

    Join the line for breakfast on Sunday mornings. Chef Raul’s fluffy herb, cheese or mushroom omelets with a fresh tomato sauce are legendary. His mother, charming Socorro, runs the show, and her interest in art is reflected in the decor and paintings (for sale). Eat inside or under the archways on simple tasty dishes like spaghetti with pesto, fondue, crepes and chilaquiles rojos (fried strips of tortilla in a tomato and chili-based sauce, sprinkled with cheese).

    Chez Elena

    Back in the martini era this small, atmospheric restaurant was a meeting place for the likes of Liz Taylor, Richard Burton, Peter O’Toole and other well-known appetites. Without having ever let down its culinary standards, it’s still imbued with gracious allure. Try the savory Maya pork dish called cochinita pibil with achiote chili sauce. And by all means, take in the view from the rooftop lounge.

    Otto

    The duck-egg blue and burgundy two-tone paintwork equals a fashionable look at this bistro-style restaurant where white-smocked waiters serve up dishes like risotto with fish and mushrooms, salmon with couscous and pineapple, and crema de flor de calabaza con coco (soup of squash flowers with coconut). Breakfast goodies include bagels with salmon and cream cheese.

    Entrevinos

    Unostentatiously chic restaurant where Spanish and French dishes are made with salutary (and salivatory) attention to detail. There are just a few tables, where diners can enjoy French classics such as coq au vin or Spanish paella; the latter is good value if you are a gaggle, at M$320 for six.

    Restaurant Sierra Madre

    For upscale dining, head to the festive restaurant at the Best Western hotel, with stone walls, wood beams and plenty of taxidermy. It serves steaks, seafood, pasta and pizza, and less expensive antojitos.
