Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Cuicuilco

Amazing meal and ambiance. Wonderful service. Highly recommend.

Chef Alexis Ayala, known more for his famous Taqueria Alexis, opened the gourmet Restaurante Pargot next door. Pargot is a shrine to Chef Ayala's culinary vision and creativity. His clam stew alone is enough to make a visit to Pargot a must. It was one of my "dishes of the decade," another culinary remembrance making my 75 years on this planet worth it. However, every aspect of Pargot, from its gorgeous, modern design, to the elegant service, made customers feel special. Pargot is a great restaurant, on par with the best of CDMX. The chicken wing croquettes, served on a sculptural branch, akin to a presentation at the acclaimed Alinea in Chicago, tasted fantastic, unlike any "game day" chicken wings. Our grilled octopus was the only miss of the night. We thought it was just okay. The stuffed Chile dessert knocked my socks off, but my spouse thought it was nada. Prices were a steal for a meal of this quality; about $85 American dollars each including two appetizers, two entrees, one dessert, two glasses of wine, and two cocktails. Pargot's clam stew is worth a hundred bucks on its own. Go, you will love Pargot.

Amazing meal! We highly recommend this. Everything we ate was outstanding.

Second time I’ve been here. This place is a must visit. One of the best in the city. The tuna carpaccio, picaña, cacio e pepe and the polpo are amazing. Great cocktails and a very well curated wine list. Awesome vibe, great soundtrack and all of the people are fantastic. It’s amazing that such complex flavors are conjured up in this small open kitchen. This place is magic.

We had a great dinner at Pascal Bistro. The service, ambiance and food was amazing! Chef Bryan is super talented and the open kitchen displayed his passion for cooking. We had a few amazing dishes that we tried. The TARTAR DE SALMÓN, PATE DE FOIE, THE RAVIOLLI, and THE RAGU PASTA 🤤 Highly recommend!
