Taverna · Restaurant · Mexico City
Fire-cooked Mediterranean sharing plates in a historic Colonia Juarez house
Taverna takes its cue from the classic taverns of southern Europe and sits inside an early 20th-century historic house on General Prim in Colonia Juarez, near Bucareli. The space runs through intimate dining rooms and a central patio to a bar that carries the night along with cocktails, wine, mezcal and music.
Chefs Emme Prieto and Chris Domit cook over fire, charcoal and a wood-burning oven, and the menu is written for sharing at the center of the table, built on carefully sourced ingredients and paced for a long meal. Current dishes include dates stuffed with chorizo, fried sardines with alioli, a beet carpaccio with jocoque and pistachios, and a whole fish baked over the fire with broken potatoes and a citrus salad. The drinks list runs to more than 50 mezcals and agave spirits and a wine list of over 100 labels.
It works for a dinner with friends or a more intimate evening, with a private room, valet parking and a smart casual dress code.
Taverna is closed on Monday. It is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 1 PM to midnight, Thursday through Saturday from 1 PM to 1 AM, and Sunday from 1 PM to 7 PM.
Address: General Prim 34, Col. Juarez, Cuauhtemoc, 06600 Ciudad de Mexico, CDMX, Mexico City
