Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Ampliacion Granada

Asai Kaiseki is the real deal. Commanded by the meticulous Itamae Asai, this isn’t some slapdash sushi joint slathering rolls in cream cheese and eel sauce. This is precision. This is heritage. This is one of the top three Japanese restaurants in the city, if not the best. The sushi? Impeccable. They’ve switched to koshihikari rice for their shari, and it makes all the difference, each nigiri elevated, clean, perfectly seasoned. But what truly sets Asai apart is the way it weaves Mexico into its Japanese foundation, not as a gimmick, but with finesse. Take the nopal (cacti) nigiri, for instance—a dish that embodies respect for both traditions without veering into fusion for fusion’s sake. But if you really want to understand what Asai Kaiseki is about, go for the kaiseki experience. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a journey. Course after course, unfolding like a perfectly timed symphony—seasonal, balanced, and deeply rooted in Japanese culinary philosophy. Omakase is also an option here, and it’s equally worth surrendering yourself to the chef’s expertise. This is where you come for real Japanese cuisine in Mexico City. No shortcuts, no theatrics—just craftsmanship, discipline, and a deep respect for the food.

Restaurante Cedron was right in the neighborhood where we were staying on our most recent trip over Christmas and New Year’s. It was festively decorated and open both on Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Unlike most of the restaurants in our Condesa neighborhood, many of the patrons seem to be local, families, and couples, and the food looked consistently beautiful. We were so glad we decided to visit. The food was delicious. We love the short ribs and beef cheeks.The service was impeccable. The vibe was like being at an elegant dinner at someone’s home. We loved the additional dishes that were sent out. We will return.

The service and food excellence, the environment perfect and with excellent view
