Biko

Ignore the slightly clinical surroundings and concentrate instead on the thoughtful dishes at this Polanco gem, which is widely considered one of the country’s best restaurants. Spanish chefs Bruno Oteiza and Mikel Alonso, along with Gerard Bellver, fuse their Basque culinary heritage with Mexican flavors (and the occasional touch of molecular gastronomy) to produce a menu (with both tasting and a la carte options) that is both playful and deeply serious. The dishes change often, but expect items like artfully plated foie gras and grilled fish dishes.
