Elena Reygadas wood oven all day in Condesa
Lardo is Elena Reygadas' all day restaurant in Condesa, on the corner of Agustin Melgar and Mazatlan. Reygadas, who also runs Rosetta, built it as the informal counterpart to that dining room: same standard of cooking, none of the ceremony. It has been packed more or less continuously since it opened, from the first breakfast service to the last table at night.
The wood burning oven does most of the work. Mornings bring egg dishes, house baking and sandwiches; later the kitchen moves to small plates, cured meats and cheeses, salads, pasta, pizza and grilled dishes. Everything is built to be shared, and the desserts reflect the group's bakery pedigree.
The room is compact and busy, a long bar with good bottles facing an open kitchen, windows onto two Condesa streets and a permanently full terrace. Doors open at half past seven in the morning and stay open to eleven at night, closing early on Sundays, which makes it one of the few genuinely all day options in the neighborhood.
Book a table on OpenTable for lunch or dinner; the bar takes walk ins. Arrive within ten minutes of your slot or the table is released.
Address: Agustin Melgar 6, esquina Mazatlan, Colonia Condesa, Cuauhtemoc, 06140 Ciudad de Mexico, CDMX, Mexico, Mexico City
