Lalo!
It’s hardly brunch without a tasty croque-madame/monsieur, and at Lalo! you will find some of the best in CDMX. Beyond this French classic, you can also enjoy mimosas and fresh juices and smoothies. And if you are craving something lighter, their açaí bowl with homemade granola is tasty too.

Casa Portuguesa
Casa Portuguesa houses a kitchen full of saudades,or “longings” in Portuguese. For over 20 years, they’ve been serving Polanco residents classic Lusitanian and European cuisine with Mexican touches. You’ll find this culinary fusion in their “huevos macuarrines” with chorizo, panela, toreado chiles, and charro beans, or in the Mediterranean frittata made from eggs, tomato confit, and mozzarella cheese. On the sweeter side, their Da Silva brand artisan bakery is top quality.

Breakfast Restaurant
Located in a beautiful Porfirian mansion in the Roma neighborhood, Breakfast Restaurant is one of the area’s favorite spots to enjoy a leisurely brunch. The mimosa brunch package includes unlimited mimosas for one hour alongside a fruit bowl and a main dish. Their eggs Benedict with bacon and salmon or the Mexican-style egg timbale are exquisite.
Tabasco 126, Roma Norte, Cuauhtémoc
Sonia
Sonia’s menu takes us back to the flavors of family meals and the recipes of our grandmothers. Some of the most outstanding dishes are the chilaquiles bathed in black mole and the plantain enmoladas with quesillo. If you want a refreshing non-alcoholic drink, we recommend the mocktail of natural lychee pulp, mint and lime juice.

Edén Shopping-Bistró
How about painting a picture whilst savoring a blueberry mimosa and French toast? Edén Shopping-Bistró, a hidden gem in Roma, offers just this kind of gastronomic and artistic experience. As well as a restaurant, there is an art gallery, fashion bazaar, and even a stage for emerging musicians. Their specialty is the montadito (a Spanish-style mini sandwich) and our favorite is the American, which includes bacon, egg, mozzarella, and creamy cilantro pesto.

Delirio
Prominent chef Mónica Patiño offers two brunch options at her Roma bistro – the breakfast of the day or à la carte. If you opt for the set menu, you can start with a Buna chocolate made from halva and macadamia nuts and wash it down with a chai latte. For the main dish, we suggest the egg casserole with tomato sauce, jocoque, pita bread, and Kalamata olives.
