Best restaurants in Roma Norte, Mexico City
Where to eat in Roma Norte: 8 restaurants worth planning around, from seafood lunches on Durango to long dinners on Colima — with what to order, prices and how to book.
Roma Norte has one of the densest restaurant scenes in Mexico City, concentrated on a handful of streets: Colima, Durango, Orizaba and Avenida Álvaro Obregón. The restaurants below are the ones visitors most often build a day around — a long seafood lunch, a tasting-style dinner, or a relaxed Italian meal — and each page explains what to order, what the menu costs and how to make a reservation.
If you only have one meal in the neighborhood, plan it first and fit the rest of the day around it: the plazas and walks of Roma Norte are a few blocks away, and the cocktail bars on Álvaro Obregón are there for after dinner.
