We were staying at this hotel and came for dinner one night. The view of the Zocalo on the rooftop was breathtaking. We got the 4 course meal and everything ordered was delicious.

The menu includes a four-course meal, which includes an appetizer, a corn-based snack, the main course, and dessert. There are three options for each course, and you can combine them, which I think is an excellent idea.nnThe price of the menu depends on the main course, ranging from approximately 850 to 1,300. It's worth noting that drinks are separate.nnThe dishes are beautifully presented and the portions adequate. Although the appetizer and snack are small, the main course is enough to satisfy.nnThe view of downtown Mexico City, which allows you to see the Zócalo, and therefore the National Palace and the Mexico City government building, as well as the cathedral, is worth it.

Balcón del Zócalo is a contemporary Mexican restaurant.nWe arrived shortly after breakfast; their lunch service starts at 1 p.m. Their menu includes sharing dishes priced from $600 to $800.nBut since we were hungry, we decided to choose the four-course menu, priced per person from $890 to $1,200, depending on the main course.nWe tried clam ceviche, tortilla soup, tacos, and the exquisite fish loin and steak.nIf you're a wine lover, they offer wines by the glass starting at $250 or $1,200 by the bottle.nThe view of the cathedral is perfect from tables near the railing.nWe also liked the cocktails (gins).nDefinitely a place to enjoy in every way.nWe hope to return soon to try their breakfast buffet.
