every time i see someone galavanting around mexico city i have major FOMO. this place is very high up on my list of must-visits and now that i’ve discovered rosetta i want to go pronto-like. the food looks extraordinary and the lush, garden ambiance just so inviting. located in a charming old house in the Roma neighborhood, its cuisine is based on a deep respect for the Mexican ingredient — their Ravioles de ricotta, limón amarillo y tomillo limón are calling my name! everything on the menu sounds mouthwatering and lucky for us, they even have a beautiful cookbook! we’re going casual this time around, with a sweet gingham dress, a classic denim jacket in case the evenings get cool, and to dress it up a bit, a pretty print wrap with fringe and some sexy slides. i need to learn more about where to wander here, so i suggest we check out a copy of Wallpaper*’s City Guide Mexico City.

We stayed in Roma Norte in an airbnb nearby Rosetta. We passed by several times on our way to less expensive dinners, but I looked longingly inside. We loved por sempre vegano on Manzanillo. I loved breakfast at the Frontera location of the chain Churreria El Moro as well as the vegan breakfasts at Forever Vegano (the art deco building is amazing!) The Saturday flea market at Jardín Ignacio Chavez was surprisingly good. CDMX is a fabulous travel destination, we walked 75 miles in 6 days, we called them taco steps! more steps, more tacos!
