Best Fine Dining in Mexico City

Find the best fine dining restaurants in Mexico City, CDMX. Scored on what actually matters.

By DineSpin Team·Updated February 2026·10 spots

Mexico City's fine dining scene has stopped apologizing for itself. These aren't restaurants trying to prove Mexican food belongs at a white-tablecloth table—they've moved past that argument entirely. What you'll find instead are chefs working with local ingredients and techniques that happen to be world-class, alongside a few specialists (kosher, sushi, Argentine beef) who've decided to plant their flag here and do it better than anywhere else. The catch: most of these places require you to plan ahead, and 'special occasion' pricing is the default.

Best Fine Dining in Mexico City

1.

Auguri Kosher Trattoria KMD

95/100

It sits in a shopping center under an escalator—not the setting you'd expect for this to be by far the best kosher restaurant someone's ever been to. Italian, Asian, Mexican fusion, all of it executed at gourmet level and MKD-certified. The owner actually comes out to engage with diners, and the service staff are impeccable. The location quirk and premium pricing are the only real friction points.

Pro tip: The escalator situation means ambiance is not why you're going. You're going for the food and the personalized service, which are both excellent.

7.

Cuerno Masaryk

92/100

Service is insanely good here—that's the actual differentiator. Steaks are very good, seafood sauces burst with flavor, and the bone marrow tacos are worth the trip alone. Chocolate cake is a standout dessert. But a live DJ and crowds mean you'll be yelling across the table by 9 p. M. And it's meat-focused enough that vegetarians should eat elsewhere.

Pro tip: Go early and sit away from the DJ if conversation is your priority. If you're there to celebrate and don't mind the volume, the place lives up to its reputation.
