If you’re looking for a culinary experience with one of the best city views, make sure to put Diana Restaurant, located in the St. Regis on Paseo de la Reforma, on your itinerary. 

In the heart of Mexico City, overlooking the iconic Diana the Huntress Fountain, the St. Regis provides a luxurious respite from the energetic city. During the FIFA World Cup, when Mexico City welcomed fans from around the globe as one of the tournament’s host cities, the hotel celebrated with special programming, including a special menu featuring recipes from La Guerrerense. Originally a street cart in Baja California, La Guerrerense earned international acclaim with a spot on Newsweek‘s 101 Best Places to Eat in the World. Chef Sabina Bandera specializes in inventive and bold flavors found in Mexican seafood, highlighting shellfish and spice in her recipes. She even has an exclusive line of salsas available.

It seems a need never arises during a visit to Diana Restaurant because every single one is anticipated long before the possibility. The service is above and beyond with not only the staff reflecting the warmth of the people of Mexico City, but also the knowledge and professionalism of every member. The meal begins brightly with a refreshing glass of champagne and an amuse bouche featuring a variety of salsas and dips. An elegant twist to the beloved chips and salsas, the dips are accompanied by chicharron displayed beautifully on cut stone. 

The wine selection is an intentionally curated list to perfectly compliment any dish on the menu. A bottle of the 2017 Gustave Lorentz Riesling pairs incredibly with the range of seafood and spices throughout. The menu consists of the most interesting flavors from sea urchin tostadas with signature Guerrerense sauce, to aguachiles with a chiltepin black chili sauce for the perfect amount of charred spice. The raw oysters and clams are some of the freshest, though Mexico City is centrally located in the country, and the accoutrements are a continued celebration of the flavors of Mexican dishes, favoring fresh lime and peppers. 

Dessert is a must at Diana Restaurant. Even for those who have never liked flan before, this is the flan that may change that. Light and fluffy, with a balanced sweet caramel sauce on top, it’s the perfect dessert when there’s no room left. The flan is contrasted by a deliciously dense and rich chocolate cake made with tequila and lightened by fresh vanilla ice cream.

Whether you already have a room booked at the St. Regis, or you’re on the hunt for a memorable upscale dining experience, you don’t want to miss the opportunity to visit Diana Restaurant. It is a truly beautiful experience of upscale Mexican cuisine to elevate your trip to one of the most vibrant cities in the world.
