The quality, variety and freshness of the seasonal ingredients, have turned the Huset cuisine into the new flavor standard in Colonia Roma. The wood oven is the real protagonist who, emphasizes and gives an unforgettable touch of flavor of the countryside to the changing seasonal menu, giving a simple and great personality to each dish. From a thin salad of grilled romaine lettuce, the addictive gnocchi with lemon cream, the sea bass to the wood with mashed sweet potato, to the delicious brioche bread dessert with ash goat cheese foam ...

One of our favorite meals in Mexico City was at Campobaja. Every dish was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done, from the oysters and ceviches to the tuna tostada. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. If you’re visiting Mexico City, Campobaja is absolutely worth a stop. We’re already dreaming about going back.
