Maximo Bistrot · Restaurant · Mexico City
Lalo Garcia's market-driven Roma Norte star
Maximo, which most people still call Maximo Bistrot, is chef Eduardo Garcia's restaurant on Avenida Alvaro Obregon in Roma Norte. Garcia, known universally as Lalo, grew the original tiny bistro into this larger corner room, and it now holds one Michelin star in the Mexico guide and a place at No. 30 on Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2025.
The cooking is market driven in the literal sense: Garcia buys daily and the menu follows, so regulars ask what came in rather than what is good. French bistro technique underpins it, Mexican produce and producers supply it, and the result runs from ceviche and raw fish through slow cooked suckling pig. Weekend brunch and longer tasting menus sit alongside the carte, with a wine list weighted toward Mexican bottles.
The bar is a destination in its own right. Head bartender Priscila Moreno took the 2026 Michelin Guide Mexico Exceptional Cocktails Award, and the drinks list is worth arriving early for. The room itself is warm and busy, with an open pass and a service team that has been together for years.
