Food Scene

The most remarkable feature of this restaurant is not its food but the view. You can even just go for a drink and have an spectacular view of the whole city. It is located in the Torre Latino, where usually you have to pay to get up to the top. But if you are visiting the restaurant you just pay what you consume up there and enjoy a beautiful sight of Mexico City. Prices are very reasonable too.

This place is very nice for breakfast. It has a terrace that offers a great view of the zocalo and the archeological site Templo Mayor. The service is kind of slow so it is better to go in the morning when it is not very busy.
