Spoon

The friend I was visiting in Mexico recommended this French restaurant on my first night in Mexico City. I was not expecting to find such delicious French cuisine in Mexico, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The scrumptious food had a slight Mexican flair to it.

We opted to sit outdoors in front of the restaurant on a fresh, comfortable evening. The restaurant is in a quiet, fairly residential neighborhood which allowed us a nice, relaxing meal. The tables were nicely adorned with white table cloths. We were quickly greeted by our server and brought a delightful mix of breads in all different shapes and colors, accompanied by a lovely herb butter.

We started our meal with some appetizers, all of which I highly recommend. These included La Sopa De Cebolla Gratinada (onion soup au gratin), La Bouillabaisse Spoon (a pastry-type concoction of seafood in an egg-based crust), Las Lentejas Con Pato Ahumado En Vinagreta de Kiwi (a duck salad that my fellow diners devoured), and Las Brochetas De Camaron Bacon and shrimp skewers. I ordered La Pechuga De Pollo Rellena De Camarones Al Curry De Bombay (curried chicken) as my entrée. While this tasty chicken satisfied, the best entrée at the table was El Mahi Mahi Spoon. This mahi mahi dish was succulent and melted in our mouths.

The owner of the restaurant came over to our table to greet us and make sure we were enjoying our dining experience. She was extremely warm and we were grateful for her efforts.

The restaurant was not full on the night that we visited, and my friend Ken, who has frequented Spoon, mentioned that it never seems. This is surprising as it exceeded all expectations and offers extremely reasonable prices.
