Hilda & Jesse
I’ve been meaning to eat here for awhile, but since it’s more a brunch place (and we don’t often brunch), I never got around to it. They just earned their surprise Michelin star recently, so I at least thought we’d try them for our weekly dinner (they’re open Thur, Fri, Mon for dinner). They have…

Tiya
I had read about this restaurant, but with our schedules I hadn’t been able to book it until now, so I didn’t really remember what to expect. I just knew it was an Indian restaurant and that we’ve been searching for another decent place ever since Indian Oven went downhill, Dosa went out of business,…

SingleThread
It’s our anniversary so I booked us for dinner up at SingleThread up in Healdsburg. This is our third time (link to first time and second time) dining here and we had such an amazing experience when he ate last year. We had first dined here in February 2019 for the winter menu a few…

Quince
This week’s dinner was at Quince which was a favorite of ours. I think this was our 5th or 6th time here, but it’s been 2 years since we’ve been back and the first time since they renovated. The renovations took pretty much the whole year last year. The space is much more open and…

Madcap
We were supposed to do a low key dinner this week because we had Andrea’s dinner last week and mine next week, but she was supposed to be in San Raphael this afternoon and I’ve been having to eat at this restaurant in San Anselmo. Of course, her appointment needed to be rescheduled and we…

Sons & Daughters
MI/CDS peeps, look at the fossil I dug up to join me for dinner, John Lee (no he’s not here on FB). He’s here for a conference and was free this evening for dinner so he reached out. We talk regularly on Zoom, but we have not seen each other in person in over 35…

Casa Oaxaca el Restaurante
Dinner was at Casa Oaxaca, one of the best restaurants in Oaxaca led by Chef Alejandro Ruiz. One unique local dish was the tostada with ants, grashhoppers, and worms (it seems we had an insect recurring theme today…). I can’t say I found the tostada as tasty as other tostadas with other proteins, but I…

Pujol
Tonight’s dinner was at Pujol, probably one of the most internationally recognized restaurants in CDMX. We almost didn’t dine here at all because I missed booking a reservation 2 months in advance because I didn’t initially understand that their web site reservation doesn’t initially show what is and isn’t available until you actually try to…

Rosetta
We worked up our appetites after a morning of ballooning and visiting the ancient pyramids at Teotihuacan. We decided to go to Rosetta. This restaurant is #49 on the 2023 World’s 50 Best list and chef Elena Reygadas was also named World’s Best Female Chef 2023. The cuisine is a fusion of Italian and Mexican…

Quintonil
Today was our first dinner out here in CDMX. (For the record we did eat a late meall in the hotel yesterday since our flight out was delayed by almost 2 hours and although the food had some nice flavors, at the end of the day, it was hotel restaurant food). I had booked this…
