The second appearance for Eduardo García comes with the restaurant he opened first – Máximo Bistrot, which is known for having eco-conscious decor and for sourcing the produce and ingredients daily from local markets. It’s also a cracking place to grab a great lunch while in Roma Norte – if you have a little wiggle room in your budget that is. Do, however, make a reservation if you fancy lunching on the regularly updated and spectacular creations offered here.

Roma Norte, a popular neighborhood of well-worn stately buildings, has the best food scene in Mexico City, at least according to the Michelin Inspectors. From age-old taquerías, to seafood fixtures, to two exquisite Starred options, there are more than twice as many restaurants recommended in the city’s guide here than in any other neighborhood. Máximo is a good place to begin.

Highlighting local ingredients, the ever-changing menu at Maximo Bistrot definitely deserves the praise showered on it. Regularly making the list of the Top 50 Restaurants in Latin America, the options are outstanding from the entrees all the way to the desserts. Do not skip the goat cheese ice cream with olive oil, or the madeleines with homemade Nutella.

Reservations are a must—Máximo Bistrot is one of the city's culinary gems and there aren't many seats nor a bar to sit at while waiting for a table. Set in a corner spot in the heart of La Roma, the space is low-lit and understated inside with a half-open kitchen where you can see line cooks at work. The chef, Eduardo García, also owns Lalo!.

Eduardo “Lalo” García became something of an anti-government icon when he got caught up in a 2013 brouhaha involving the daughter of a Mexican official looking to score a table. But make no mistake, this chef and his restaurant aren’t about trend, but wonderful food, a warm room that feels like an old friend’s dinner party, and the showcasing of Mexican ingredients sourced from the surrounding countryside’s local farms. Beginning life as a migrant worker with his family, García is humble about his pedigree — he has gone on to cook around the world with chefs including Eric Ripert and Enrique Olvera before opening Máximo Bistrot in 2011 to quick acclaim — but lets his food speak for itself; his octopus is not to be missed, his pastas are creative and whimsical, and if the suckling pig is on the menu, get it.

From the buzzing streets of Colonia Roma, step into a stunning space filled with natural light, where plants and wooden details bring the inside in. It’s the perfect setting for enjoying Chef Eduardo García’s gorgeous creations made with seasonal ingredients and flawless technique.A farm-to-table pioneer in Mexico City, Chef García works with regional suppliers whose impossibly fresh vegetables, cheeses and fish guarantee the ever-rotating menu is constantly filled with dishes that let the ingredients shine.

Máximo is one of the hottest restaurants in the city,” Olvera says, “so the crowd is lively and upbeat—a lot of young artist types.” What’s drawing them?. A focus on sustainability that extends beyond local produce; even the napkins are fair trade. Chef Eduardo García sharpened his skills at Pujol, so it’s no surprise Olvera is a fan: “He makes a killer tiradito with guacamole, but the menu changes constantly based on what he finds.” (Tonalá 133, +52 55 5264-4291; maximobistrot.com.mx)

Máximo Bistrot is kind of French, kind of Mexican, and one of the best spots in town for a big group lunch. The buzzing, atrium-like space is a dreamy backdrop for either meal—the tables toward the back are especially pleasant during the day, when sunshine pours in through the skylight and filters through the leaves a big, indoor tree—and even when it’s not full, it still feels like the place to be. Go for the a la carte menu if you’re there for lunch.

Máximo Bistrot in Roma is kind of French, kind of Mexican, and one of the best spots in town for a hot date or group dinner. It’s a fun, atrium-like space with great cocktails and an equally fantastic wine list, and they do delicious spins on dishes you’ve seen, like a caesar salad with homemade headcheese. You can go à la carte, but there’s also a nine-course tasting menu, and definitely add that wine pairing.

My favorite restaurant has to be Maximo, the farm-to-table bistrot might showcase hints of European and Japanese influences but the ingredients are completely grown locally in Mexico. The restaurant opens with an air of transparency, a revealing kitchen warmly welcomes patrons to take a peek at chefs in action. The stone crab tostada was wonderfully transformed into a delectable contrast of crispy and creamy.

Máximo Bistrot another restaurant that sits on every tops list for Mexico City. I’ve visited their old location many times in the past, but only recently had the opportunity to visit the bright airy new space on Avenida Obregón in Roma Norte. I was excited when I walked through the door and peeked into the window showcasing the kitchen to see Chef Eduardo Garcia Guzmán in the house.

One of the most inspiring restaurants I have encountered, Maximo was a home run dining experience. With a new menu daily and an open kitchen full of engrossed chefs meticulously creating sheer masterpieces, the food was simply amazing. While I was at first bummed not to see the whole rotisserie cauliflower on the menu that we had come for, I quickly forgot.

Probably the best fusion restaurant in Mexico City, chef Eduardo Garcia cooks up modern French cuisine with Mexican influences. The restaurant is committed to local produce and has a menu that changes daily depending on what is available in the market. When we visited we really enjoyed the prawn with chicatana ant vinaigrette, sherry and serrano peppers.

Máximo Bistrot just moved a few years ago from their original location as they had outgrown the space. The menu reflects a harmonious blend of flavors where dishes are thoughtfully prepared with the freshest ingredients. The Wagyu beef, served in multiple delightful ways, is a standout, embodying the restaurant’s dedication to quality and creativity.

It used to be known as Maximo Bistro, but it seems that since moving locations to Avenida Álvaro Obregón, they’ve shortened it to just Maximo. If you’re looking for a romantic dinner or a fine dining experience, Maximo always delivers. I first went years ago when my mom was in town.

It’s tough to put my finger on the kind of cuisine, I suppose French with local ingredients?. It’s delicious either way, a cool mid-century space, and always packed. Maximo Bistrot has a wonderful tasting menu that is also a great deal if you’re looking for a coursed meal.

• Máximo Bistrot, a gourmet restaurant that marries French and Mexican cuisine, is run by chef Eduardo “Lalo” García. For Longoria, he made a roasted beet salad with rocket and wilted purslane. Best known as a weed, purslane is nonetheless edible and very nutritious.

A flat stone façade amid the hustle of Avenida Álvaro Obregón beckons mysteriously. Is that a nightclub, a concept store, a gallery?. The first thing you spot walking in is a window into a dry-aging refrigerator, dangling with ducks and hunks of jamón Ibérico.

That’s right, Máximo’s menu is not printed since he cooks something different every day based on seasonal products and whatever the mood strikes. The menu consists of three courses and can be enjoyed from Tuesday to Sunday. Bookings should be made in advance.

We shared six dishes: two appetizers (lamb, and a cruffin with a bowl of something akin to French onion soup), two mains (duck breast, and ravioli) and two desserts (a chocolate one of course, and a tarte tatin).

Yes, let's hope the Máximo,-fish tacos-Broka phenomena multiplies. And let's hope those old ladies are there forever making their tlacoyos. And let's try to get those fresas into the markets.
