Fancy Food
I have written many times about my favorite restaurant in Mexico City, "Angelopolitano". The owner and chef of "Angelopolitano", Gerardo Quezadas, has also taken on the responsibility as chef overseeing the restaurant at the Maria Condesa Hotel. Saturday evening Alejandro and I decided to try out his new place.
Unlike "Angelopolitano" which features traditional, family recipes from the state of Puebla, the menu here is continental, mainly French-inspired, cuisine with a touch of Mexican influence.
We began by sharing an appetizer of codfish croquettes.
Alejandro then had the French onion soup, and I had the roasted tomato soup.
For my main course I had red snapper. Although the portion looks lost on the large plate, it was a sizeable chunk of fish. The little dabs of guacamole to the side seemed a little silly to me however.
Alejandro had a steak... with a pear on top.
For dessert I had a chocolate / orange mousse while Alejandro had a pear in white wine sauce. (His dessert was the only truly disappointing part of the meal.)
Our food was certainly delicious. Gerardo is without a doubt a talented chef whether he is doing a traditional "mole poblano" or a contemporary gourmet dish. Our tab of 1000 pesos (around $55 U.S.) was pricey by Mexican standards but not exorbitant. However, I doubt that we shall return. This place is just another one of many fancy, continental restaurants to be found in Mexico City. "Angelopolitano", however, remains an unique experience in superb Mexican fare.
