Bajel · Restaurant · Mexico City
Tasting-menu Mexican cooking, 13 floors up
Bajel is the signature restaurant of the Sofitel Mexico City Reforma, thirteen floors above Paseo de la Reforma and named for a sailing vessel. It was the hotel's bid for guide recognition and it worked: Bajel was picked up in the first edition of the MICHELIN Guide Mexico and has stayed in the selection since, without yet holding a star.
The kitchen belongs to chef Alonso Vidal, who began cooking in Buenos Aires in 2007, moved to Mexico in 2012 and rose to head chef at the Michelin-starred Sud 777 before taking this room. His cooking is Mexican at the root with a global vocabulary, anchored in seasonal produce and named local growers. The format is a five-course tasting menu that has run spring soup, white mole, striped bass and short rib in green pipian with fresh corn.
