Azul Historico · Restaurant · Mexico City
Regional Mexican in a 17th century palace courtyard
Azul Historico sits in the open courtyard of the Palacio de los Condes de Miravalle, a seventeenth century palace on Isabel la Catolica that now houses the Downtown hotel and a set of shops. Tables run under mature trees strung with lights, open to the sky, between the pedestrian stretches of Madero and 16 de Septiembre.
The restaurant belongs to chef Ricardo Munoz Zurita, the cook and writer behind the Azul group and one of the most cited authorities on regional Mexican cooking. The menu reads like a survey of that research: moles, regional stews, tamales and seafood from both coasts, presented with a contemporary fine dining finish, not reinvented.
Service runs right through the day. Breakfast starts at nine in the morning, and lunch and dinner run from one in the afternoon until eleven at night, seven days a week. That makes it equally workable as a long family comida, a business lunch, or a first proper meal for visitors working through the Centro Historico on foot.
Azul Historico is not on OpenTable. Tables are booked on the restaurant's own reservation page at azul.rest, which runs a CoverManager booking module. Courtyard tables are the ones everyone asks for, so book well ahead for weekends.
Address: Isabel la Catolica 30, Col. Centro, Centro Historico, Cuauhtemoc, 06000 Ciudad de Mexico, CDMX, Mexico, Mexico City
