   Everything about this restaurant is great. The vibe (great music!), the food, the ambiance, the garden - it's all just effortlessly chic and delicious. I always make a point of coming here when I visit Mexico City.

   Everything was outstanding. The space is very pleasant and feels like eating in a garden. The service was perfect. The crème brûlée with olives was unique and very tasty. The tuna tostada was really tasty and the carmelized onion caramele was even better. I would also recommend the mascarpone risotto which was perfectly cooked and delicately balanced. The portion sizes are perfect for our luncheon

   Gorgeous setting and attentive service. The calamari was some of the best I've ever had- I loved the sauce. We all enjoyed our meals and seeing the axolotl pond. Un entorno precioso y un servicio atento. Los calamares estaban entre los mejores que he probado; me encantó la salsa. Todos disfrutamos de la comida y de ver el estanque de ajolotes.

   El mesero que nos atendio tenia una exprecion de molestia cada que le preguntabamos algo. En dos ocaciones menciono que pronto iban a cerrar, lo que hizo que no disfrutaramos la comida. Nos sentimos apresurados en todo momento. Al final pedimos la cuenta y se tardo mucho en llegar, por lo que tuvimos que pedirle a otro mesero que, porfavor, nos trajera la cuenta.

   Wonderful ambiance. Food was delicious. Recommend sharing more small plates than ordering a large plate.

   Botanico was recommended by a few friends who’d been on recent visits to Mexico City. Easy to understand why. The understated, unassuming entry gives way to a fantastic private garden space with massive tress, bamboo, plants, and pond. A peek into the glass enclosed kitchens create a fascinating floor show of food prep by the master chefs. It’s impossible not to feel like you’re in some secret garden of delight. The menu apparently changes season to season. At first look, you might think the dishes are relatively basic but the artistry is not in the words on the menu, it’s in the divine chemistry in the kitchen. We enjoyed and shared everything. Standouts were the Carmelized Onion Caramelle (one of the most delicious things I’ve eaten) and the Sea Bass in buerre blanc and peas which I can describe as elegant and velvety. The intricacy of the flavors develops with each bite. I suggest choosing a very light white wine or simple, clear cocktail to accompany these two dishes. With no room for dessert, we just couldn’t pass up the Crème Brûlée with olives. I’d read in a review that it was something special, which it was. Whoever thought of that combination is a visionary. The diners on both sides of us got the Panna Cotta, which they said was beyond compare so I’m adding that even though we didn’t try it. Let yourself enjoy this full sensory experience. Drink lightly, share dishes, watch the chefs in the kitchen, look up at the treetops and take your time eating.

    The lush greenery, along with the exceptional food and service, were truly remarkable.
