A day that begins in Mexico DF and with Huevos Rancheros can only end well
-“Good morning, the breakfast buffet, please?” - "Miss, we don't have a breakfast buffet."
A waiter answered me The St Regis Mexico City , one of the best hotels in Mexico City, belonging to one of the best hotel brands in the world. And he continued:
- “With the buffet we cannot control hygiene or aesthetics. For breakfast we will prepare whatever you want. What do you fancy? ”
And absolute freedom of choice blocks . That is why breakfast buffets triumph, with all the decisions placed on the table and organized by thematic blocks: dairy products, fruit, hot dishes, local food, bread... When someone suggests that you order anything, you can only stammer:
-“Cappuccino, bread, eggs and fruit, please”
All the hotels I know of in the fascinating, exhausting and endless Mexico City (and there are quite a few) offer stunning breakfasts and brunches. The gentleman at the St Regis suggested eggs and beans and their corn tortillas, mango smoothie and fruit with natural yogurt. I obeyed. It happened at breakfast: at brunch there would have been a buffet. I understand the waiter's determination to control the appearance and quality of the buffet, but in DF food is taken care of so much that even the most gargantuan buffet is seductive and in order . And the one at the St Regis borders on the epic. Unlimited champagne helps.
Grupo Habita hotels offer the perfect variety not overwhelm and make the guest feel like a troglodyte . The breakfast of Hotel Habita It is served on the ground floor, the most beautiful space in the hotel. It involves hard decisions: eggs rancheros or Mexican? Waffles with berries or French toast with cinnamon, apple and syrup? Enfrijoladas with chicken or jerky with beans and guacamole? all for breakfast.
His sister hotel, the Countess DF , decorated by India Mahdavi, is worth a visit for weekend brunch. There, in the Courtyard, They eat gangs of girls with their puppies, savvy foreigners who know the facts, locals who worship that inner courtyard . If you want chilaquiles with green chicken, you can; if you're craving blueberry hotcake, too, or if you go for the classic Eggs Benedictine and Bloody Mary, this is the place. You can do nothing else the rest of the day, with this you will have covered the gastro and social fee.
But there are many more. The best-known brunch in the city is the San Angel Inn , on a farm in the Diego Rivera neighborhood, their entire families eating oysters and fruits of all colors and flavors . He was the first I met, back in the 20th century. He had a lot of fault in that I fell hopelessly in love with Mexico City. The most mediatic is the ** Hotel Brick , in the heart of Rome, where handsome men and women nourish their hangovers **.
In any case, a day that begins in Mexico DF and with Huevos Rancheros can only end well.
