RESTAURANTS WORTH TRAVELLING FOR

PUJOL AND QUINTONIL, MEXICO

I recently travelled to Mexico City for the first time with no expectations as I had never visited Mexico before. I was immediately blown away by the capital. For fine dining, Mexico City has some of the top restaurants in the world at the moment, and I was fortunate enough to snare a table at the Pujol and Quintonil restaurants, which are both in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Each has its own style and flavour, and (traditional Mexican sauce) that had been cooking for five years, and lunch at Quintonil is probably the best meal I have ever eaten in my life. There were so many highlights, but the ones that really stood out were the cactus ceviche and the charred avocado with ant larvae, which was just perfection on the palate. I would recommend visiting Mexico City for anyone with a desire to immerse themselves into a rich tapestry of culture.
