Quintonil Mexico City sublime experience
Had the tasting menu…the food every course was delicious…the tasting menu was bold and inventive…I would definitely recommend any one visiting Mexico City make reservations…I will definitely return to try the new menu
Be the first to ReplyQuintonil is very good, but not great
.This is a nice restaurant in Polanco. The service was fantastic and the food was very good. I would not say the food was great for the amount of money paid, as I have certainly had better at that price. I ate at the bar as you need two people to eat at the table, although I think the menu is almost the same. They are on the list of world's top 50 restaurants and I think that may be a stretch, but that is of course my opinion.
Be the first to ReplyMiserable food poisoning
I felt very lucky to have scored a dinner reservation here on Valentine’s Day. I felt deceived as soon as we sat down, however, because the website had said that there were à la carte options, but the only option turned out to be a nine course tasting menu. I am skeptical of tasting menus, both for their pretentiousness, and for the fact that you’re hostage to whatever they want to give you. My partner and I shared everything except two dishes which, for some reason, repulsed her: a piece of fish, and a decomposed taco. Those two I ate. The fish tasted funny. No less than two hours after getting back to the hotel after this meal, which set me back about $1000, I got violently ill, with what is classic food poisoning. (As a physician, I’ve seen it one too many times.) Vomited seven times, diarrhea, fever. I got so sick that I had to cancel the business portion of my trip and pay an extra hefty sum to fly back home the next day.

We booked the bar - chef's counter experience and it was incredible from start to finish. Not only were the courses so carefully designed and executed, but the level of service and staff was unparalleled. We also requested the wine pairing which was exquisite. It was worth the treat on our vacation and will be a dining experience we'll never forget. Thank you to the entire team!

I think this restaurant deserves to be one of the world’s top. The tasting menu was superb and incredibly varied and the dishes beautifully presented. The service was excellent and not overwhelming as in many restaurants of this calibre. Every dish was well explained and we did not feel rushed. I loved the fact that one is given a copy of the menu when leaving. Not cheap by Mexican standards, but reasonable by international ones.

Best dinner ever! Wow, an explosion of flavors! Every dish was perfection. The service was amazing. Loved everything about this place!
Be the first to ReplyMoctezuma's Revenge for US$800+
Where. Do. I. Start... For context, I have been to countless number of fine dining restaurants all over the world. From 3 Michelin Stars to those on top of the San Pellegrino 50 Best, I have done it all spanning the US, Europe, South America, and Asia. I have also been to Mexico City a few times before. So, it comes at great pain to write this review as it is the first and hopefully only one I will ever have to write of this nature. For additional context, we are both intermittent fasters. For those not familiar, that means we don't eat for between 16-20 hours. We have been doing this for years and it has been great for health. So, it should be of no surprise given Quintonil was offering a Tasting Menu only that we would not eat anything during the entire day in anticipation of the experience. Fast forward to the meal itself. I'm going to try and be objective here as the meal itself was very good. Some of the dishes were exceptional. The Kampachi was simply delicious as was the tamal and the lobster tartar. Having experience in what some would call adventurous (not us), we had no issues digging into the Festival of insects. These were tacos that involved fish made with an adobo of chapulines (grassshoppers), chorizo made from ants, and other Mexcan delicacies focused on insects. All in all, the meal was delightful and about what one would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. However... ...what ensued at 3 AM that next morning was something we were not expecting. Our 4 day trip to Mexico curated around visiting Quintonil and Pujol took a turn when my significant other got seriously sick. So much so I had to leave the hotel and head to a Pharmacy first thing in the morning to buy medication that would help. For additional context, he's also a doctor so he is more knowledgeable than most. Little did I know I too would be affected as I too started developing symptoms. Definitely milder than his, I too was off for the remainder of the trip. Things were so bad we had no choice but to cancel the reservations we had at Pujol that evening, a shame given the reservation was made 7 months in advance. The purpose of the trip completely written off. One could make a few arguments here as to it being "bad luck". I would agree, except both of us displaying the same symptoms is rather suspicious. We ate the exact same things at Quintonil. Remember, we had not eaten anything during the entire day except drink sealed imported bottled water and plenty of it. Could it have been we were not used to eating insects and that was it? Possible, but also unlikely given conscious or not, humans do ingest insects all the time unintentionally. It is part of eating fruits and vegetables.One of us getting sick would be one thing, but both of us and under those circumstances??? All in all, a ruined post dining experience, a cancelled reservation at Pujol made 7 months prior resulted in a ruined trip to the great Latin American capital that is Mexico City. Needless to say, we will be returning to Mexico City, but will skip Quintonil. I think there are better things we can spend our $800+ on. The Posh Elite Polanco Version of Moctezuma's Revenge is not one of them.
Be the first to ReplyAn incredible meal that I will remember forever!
This is one of the top 5 meals I have ever had. While it's not inexpensive, the food and the serve were incredible. I would highly recommend Quintonil for anyone that visits Mexico City and is looking for a gourmet meal that will be remembered forever.
Be the first to ReplyUnderwhelmed
A little unwhelmed given the hype and price. We ordered the tasting menu with wine pairing. The food is creative, the striped bass was well cooked and the special honey desert dish was very good. However, we felt that some dishes were over spiced and some under, and the wine pairing was really off. For example, one of us don't eat fish so he was given a dish of some potato preparation, but the sommelier gave him a glass of full bodied red from Mexico! Another dish has pasta with anchovy that's too salty, and it was paired with a light white which was completely overwhelmed by the dish. A comparably priced tasting dinner in the US would have better food and wine pairing.

Wow. Among the best, if not the best, meal I've ever had. Incredible flavors, attentive and nice staff without being obsequious (we never felt as if were in the movie The Menu). My wife and I at a mix of very high end and cheap eats places during our five nights in Mexico City. This was the high end place that was worth the price. Go here.
Be the first to ReplyBeautiful Food in a Gorgeous Restaurant
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).

Hi...I have a reservation slot for two people on Thursday March 16, 2023 at 9:30pm at Quintonil if anyone out there is interested. Please do let me know.
Be the first to ReplyVery nice dinner
Really nice tasting menu experience in a casual, unpretentious setting. Service is top notch. We couldn't get a reservation, but as luck would have it, we checked again online one last time before giving up and someone must have canceled because we got a last-minute reservation. We opted for the tasting menu with wine pairing. Only four stars because I didn't love every single item, but they were all delicious and wines were spot on. For example, I couldn't really taste the crab because the sauce overwhelmed it and oxtail wasn't tender enough for me. Highly recommended for a great foodie experience in CDMX.
Be the first to ReplyThis is THE SPOT for amazing cuisine in CDMX.
Get the kitchen bar if you can. It gets hot, but worth it to observe the extraordinary care and precision in execution for every dish. Quintonil is simply a triumph; a tour de force of Mexican cuisine. Highly memorable and well worth every penny. Bravo!
Be the first to ReplyFlawless, Unpretentious Service: Food Doesn’t Live Up to the Staggering Price Point
Quintonil is a beautiful and unassuming spot, with flawless, friendly and unpretentious service. The food is inventive and interesting but for the staggering price point (even by NYC standards) I left disappointed (and hungry) with the overall dining experience. Of an 11 course tasting menu, the majority of the dishes featured fish or seafood products and very limited meat. I found several of the dishes “fishy” and/or over-sauced (especially a soft shell crab dish that looked delicious but was sauced so heavily the crab disappeared completely). There is always a risk of not liking dishes on a rigid tasting menu, but in this case, the dishes seemed very limited in their taste profiles, resulting in a number of dishes in a row that I didn’t really want to eat.
Be the first to ReplyNoel Raimundo Decàn Review of Quintonil
Had great dinner at Quintonil in MX City, #8 among 50 Best restaurants in World. Started with small center of Romaine lettuce filled with bits of bacon, small capers, Parmesan cheese and Italian salad dressing: delicious! Main course was tenderloin center cut with Petitte potatoes & veggies. Steak was so tender it could be cut with spoon. Juicy and meaty taste. Paired with Carmenere red wine. On the side had small portion of Mole Madre with blue corn chips: taste of old Méjico. Service was excellent and friendly. Kindly allowed me a photo with Chef and 2 of his assistants . Quintonil deserves to be #8 of best 50 or even top five. Highly recommend to visit this fine restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyQuintonil will be Mexico's first Michelin Starred Restaurant
Every dish at Quintonil was a visual and gastronomic delight. Our experience included four plates featuring insects that could not be seen or detected other than in the accompanying show-and-tell materials. Even the cloth napkins had an ant embroidered thereupon. The servers were professional, bilingual, and clearly enjoyed their professions. We enjoyed a cocktail, Quintonil Water, that included worm salt.
Be the first to ReplyOVER PRICED and OVER RATED
This is the first review I have ever written. Our meal was such a disappointment that I felt obligated to warn people. We booked months in advance. Our group has travelled the world eating and drinking and we were unanimous in our assessment that this place is OVERRATED, OVERPRICED and Under Flavored. After arrival we waited 15 minutes before someone even came to our table. The food was bland and lacking creativity. The service was disorganized with lots of people standing around doing nothing when we needed more wine, water, etc. A few of the dishes were so unappealing that we did not eat them. This was the most expensive and worst food of our 4 dinners in CDMX-by far! Maybe in the past this was a go to place but now it is just milking it’s reputation. With so many great places to eat in CDMX, save your time and money.

Superb restaurant. Terrific decor and service. Had a mescal cocktail that was fantastic. Food excellent and inventive. One slight miss; the pork was slightly over done for me.
Be the first to ReplyDisproportionate treatment
Disclosure - my rating for the tasting menu is a 4.5. The 2 star rating is based on the disproportionate treatment we experienced. There were 3 other solo diners sitting at the counter enjoying the tasting menu, and we noticed that the kitchen had my boyfriend and I share a few of the dishes while the solo diners experienced full tastings to themselves. Bear in mind, we paid the same price per person as the other tasting menu diners. Additionally, we noticed the gentleman to our right received portions more than double the size of ours and we’re unclear if it had anything to do with race. Although the tasting was a truly enjoyable experience (palate wise), we may not return due to the extremely noticeable inconsiderate treatment.
Be the first to ReplyKnow what to expect so you're not disappointed
If you’re a true foodie who loves to hear the (many) ingredients that go into every dish and savors the melding of often unexpected flavors (creme fraiche, salmon roe & vanilla, for example); or if you really appreciate dishes presented in an artistic way - tiny flowers placed (with tweezers, I’m sure) atop tiny dishes in pretty tiny bowls; or if you like a large variety of small bites and tastes vs a large plate of fewer tastes; or if you like a dining experience with lots of friendly servers constantly coming and going (necessary when you’re serving and taking away 10+ dishes) then Quintonil is an excellent choice for you. If, however, that sounds a little fussy and formal, the idea of a 2+ hour dinner doesn’t appeal, you appreciate simple, uncomplicated dishes more than complicated ones, or you’re not comfortable dropping several hundred dollars for dinner, there are better dining destinations for you.

Whilst I appreciate some of techniques used to create these dishes are beyond us mere mortals, I'm afraid most of it just didn't taste good. At all. The biggest issue I found was textually so many of the dishes were soft/mushy with nothing to break it up. No dish was particularly stand out really tasty. Had a more enjoyable meal at most restaurants I've been to at a fraction of the price. The service is exceptional and the staff are friendly, helpful and attentive but the food was incredibly dissapointing.
Be the first to ReplyTreat yourself to the very best!
OMG! We are spoiled by the finest, the best, the most memorable...... We had no idea what we had reserved! From the moment we were seated thru to signing our credit card receipts, this was exceptional!! The staff 1st handed us, with a tong, a small brown paper bag for our masks.... Who does that! Napkins were placed in our laps, also with a tong. We were given an amuse bouche as well as a palette cleanser after our meal. The kitchen is top notch, innovative and very thoughtful. Now, it's our standard and so far, everything else pales in comparison.
Be the first to ReplyYet another case of Quintonil food poisoning
Mexico City is one of my favorite cities and we’ve had some of our best meals including Pujol and Rosetta. So my partner and I were looking forward to finally trying Quintonil. We both had the set menu with wine pairings for $300 per person. About 45 mins after the meal my partner and I both felt off. We then experienced violent food poisoning for the next 24 hours. We called the restaurant the next day to let them know and they seemed unconcerned. With so many incredible fine dining options in this city, I suggest avoiding Quintonil.
