I recently visited Quintonil and it was an amazing experience that included a tasting menu with a wine pairing. While I have done tasting menu’s before, I have not since my best friend has a wicked panic attack at The French Laundry (more on this, never) and after watching The Menu with Ralph Fiennes (the movie holds up a difficult mirror for gastronomy groupies). All that being said, I had to go. Right? It’s number 27 in THE WORLD. And yes the flavors live up to the hype. This restaurant is located in Mexico City and it is known for its riffs on Mexican cuisine. The ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic light and bright with tables not too close together. We opted for the seating at the bar so we could see the kitchen in action. Spanish and English are spoken (my elementary Spanish vocabulary was not forced into practice, desgraciadamente) equally well. I think there is AT LEAST a 1:1 ratio between staff and guest which is a bit overwhelming. And while I haven’t been there in decades, I was reminded of Alinea in the performative way dishes were presented. One aside, don’t miss the bathrooms- they smell amazing (not joking). Now, let's talk about the food. The dishes were elegant, creative, and delicious. The ingredients were fresh and locally sourced, much of the produce comes from a garden close to the restaurant. I highly recommend trying the tasting menu, which showcases the best dishes of the restaurant. Be sure to get the wine pairing as the wines are as complex as the food and very thoughtfully paired. The food was complex and creative- a butternut salad that tasted like buttery, carmelized goodness, but included blanched butternut squash and tomatoes or corn chawanmushi, uchepos foam, ikurriña, and vanilla oil (think salmon roe in custard with drops of vanilla added at service) all surprising and delicious. The dessert served with a pairing of pear cider was a crème fraiche ice cream topped with caviar and passion fruit. Okay, that was decadent. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Quintonil. The food and the ambiance were exceptional. The restaurant deserves it’s standing on the list of the world’s best restaurants, absolutely. Personally, I have noted a change in my preferences for restaurants after a COVID. I want connection. I want a friendly staff that wants to engage with its clientele. I want the conversation within my dining and extending to the restaurant staff to be warm and meaningful. I am very lucky indeed to have been able to eat at Quintonil. The food was some of the best I have ever had. However, I wish that the connection with all of that staff could have been more natural and less performative (a small criticism due to the isolation brought on by the pandemic).
