Amaya | Mexico City
Amaya is highlighted for their wine expertise. Creating an impressive list that feature some amazing wine offerings Mexico City. Alongside their baja cuisine, Amaya offers the latest of natural wine from Baja, France, and Italy. If you’re a fan of all-natural wines, Amaya should be on your list when visiting Mexico City.
GO HERE: for a slightly more casual take on the Baja-Med cuisine that made chef Jaír Téllez a hero at his other Mexico City restaurant, MeroToro, and his flagship, Laja, in the Baja’s Valle de Guadalupe. Téllez is also a winemaker (Bichi Wines) and Amaya’s all-natural list features producers that are otherwise near impossible to find in the city. (Pro tip: If you’re a fan of natural wines, check out the nearby natural-wine bar Le Tachinomi Desu, a sliver of a speakeasy that’s a popular after-work hangout for neighborhood chefs.)
ORDER THE: beef tartare with sardine; soft-shell crab; simple grilled fish; and Baja-made wines from Bichi or Vena Cava.
THE VIBE IS: the sort of effortless chic that Mexico City excels in. Mexican tile, exposed beams, and a hippie-ish wall mural that seems out of place with the discreet, fashionable crowd.
