Mexico & South America
As an introduction, it must be said that Mexico today is a culinary reference in the world. Years ago, to find a good restaurant in Mexico was hard and almost impossible. Nowadays local and foreign cheffs are developing their own proposal to the world. Good mexican restaurants are climbing spots up tho the top 100 restaurants in the world. Fortunately, San Angel Inn, Hacienda de los Morales, Le Moustaches and Estoril are justo good restaurants to go. Breathtaking restaurants as Tezka, Pujol, DO, Jaso, Biko, Tori-Tori and Bakea left those restaurants as a remembrance of mexican cuisine.
Patagonia Sur
Buenos Aires feels like the most European of South American cities. The architecture adds to this feeling, as does the bustling café culture and the broad caminos, reminiscent of the wide streets of Paris or Rome. So it’s not a surprise to discover Patagonia Sur in the grittier La Boca neighborhood. This restaurant, run by Buenos Aires’ most famous chef, Francis Mailman, showcases Argentinian products—beef, of course, from the Pampas, local seafood and organic fruits and vegetables. The wine list is impressive, too, though one look at the plentiful offerings from Argentina and you’ll remember that you’re not in Paris or Rome, but in the heart of South America.

Les Moustaches
Yes, it’s a French restaurant. Yes, it’s in the heart of Mexico City. If further proof were needed that we live in a shrinking world, one need not look any further then Les Moustaches. Here, gazpacho shares the menu with onion soup, the tacos are filled with shredded duck and topped with a very un-Mexican Cumberland sauce and non-French ingredients (kiwis, jamon Serrano, and avocado) make there way into the most classic of French dishes, such as Lobster Thermidor and Beef Wellington.

San Angel Inn
At the San Angel Inn, banish all thoughts of Tex-Mex food. While they may serve margaritas here (and elegant ones, at that: silver carafes buried in ice are delivered to you, the drink kept just above freezing), you won’t see any nachos. Instead, expect enlightened Mexican fare served in a Colonial-era hacienda, including a superior chicken mole and crêpes filled with huitlacoche, a corn fungus prized in Mexican cooking.

C Restaurant
Many top American chefs now have outposts abroad, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that Charlie Trotter has jumped on the bandwagon. His restaurant, C, opened in February 2004 in the Palmilla Resort in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. In an Adam Tihany-designed dining room that faces the Sea of Cortez, Trotter offers sun-seekers a taste of the food that made his eponymous Chicago restaurant a smashing success. The thoughtful and well-composed dishes demonstrate that Trotter, miles from his flagship, is still at the top of his game.

What you see, is not what you get ...
The quality of the products is low, the menu price amazingly high (333 arg. Pesos) and serviceunbelievablearrogant and incompetent. The Winelist is banal and overpriced ...
I have no Idea why Mr. Mallmann is doing it, but i got the suspicion it is a rip off.

I have eaten at French Laundry in Yountiville near SF (Thomas Keller), Guy Savoy in Paris, Per Se in New York (Thomas Keller) and Gary Danko in San Francisco among others. Criterion in Bogota is at par with all the places I just mentioned...(with French Laundry had been nominated the best restaurant in the Americas and among the top 50 in the world) highly impressed...a culinary marvel in South America. If you are in Colombia..fly to Bogota to go to Criterion.
Do you find this valuable?
