Les Moustaches · Restaurant · Mexico City
French classics in a Porfirian mansion
Les Moustaches has been the grand French restaurant of Mexico City for more than five decades, occupying a Porfirian mansion on Rio Sena a block off Paseo de la Reforma. It is old-money dining in the literal sense: parquet, drapery, silver, and a room that has hosted diplomats and the city's business establishment since 1974.
The cooking is classical French with an eclectic streak, built on traditional method and not on reinvention. Plates regulars return for include the spinach salad finished tableside, a crisp pollo Kiev and the crujiente de durazno, backed by one of the deepest wine lists in the city.
Live piano and violin play through service, and the mansion's salons split into intimate corners and larger rooms, so the address works as both a business-lunch institution and a special-occasion table. Complimentary valet sits at the door with a private lot behind it, and Colonia Cuauhtemoc puts it walking distance from the Angel de la Independencia.
Reservations go through the OpenTable link on the restaurant's own site or by phone. Lunch runs daily from 1pm; dinner extends to 11pm Thursday through Saturday, while Sunday through Wednesday the kitchen closes at 6pm, so evening bookings belong in the back half of the week.
Address: Rio Sena 88, Col. Cuauhtemoc, Cuauhtemoc, 06500 Ciudad de Mexico, CDMX, Mexico City
