• Global, International • Condesa / Roma

Booked 73 times today

Eight years ago, Maximo Bistrot started as a restaurant for the thinking and execution of dishes from a wide range of techniques with the best of local ingredients; a warmful place that communicated our love for food. After a long and heartwarming road at our current location, we thought for the need of moving. Our new home, located at Alvaro Obregon 65 bis - a much wider space where gleams of natural light shine upon the surface-, is carefully assembled by Gabriela's meticulous look, and a kitchen built within Eduardo García's early memories, while living as an inmigrant in a barn in Ohio. Despite this big change, our principles initially founded remain the same: to offer food that distinguishes the best of local products.

Exceptional food, perhaps the best Italian food we’ve ever enjoyed, and we’ve eaten a lifetime of it over the years and all over the world, including Florence and Rome. Fascinating and thoughtfully prepared dishes. And the charm of views of the park and the neighborhood was unexpected. Only quibble was the frequent disruption of barking/fighting dogs (not a fan of critters inside restaurants). But overall, cannot offer enough applause. Bravissimo!
