Mandolina | Polanco’s Most Instagrammable Italian Brunch Spot

📍 Av. Emilio Castelar 135, Polanco First Impressions: Stepping into Mandolina feels like wandering into a sunlit Italian villa - the air is fragrant with fresh lemons 🍋 (they're everywhere: hanging from ceilings, piled in rustic crates, even floating in water glasses). The whitewashed brick walls and checkered marble floors create that perfect European bistro backdrop for your photos. 🍽️ The Food Experience: • "Colazione Reale" Breakfast Board (their showstopper): House-made lemon ricotta on sourdough Organic poached eggs with citrus hollandaise A side of limoncello-marinated berries • Not Just Pretty Plates: Their smoked salmon bagel surprises with a lavender-lemon cream cheese - an unexpected but heavenly combo ☕ Coffee Artistry: Baristas craft lemon zest-topped cappuccinos - the perfect bitter-sweet balance to their pastry selection (try the meyer lemon tart!). 💡 Pro Tips: Request the garden patio table under the lemon tree for best lighting (golden hour is magical here) They offer limoncello flights if you're feeling festive Weekdays after 2pm = quieter for photos 💰 Damage: ~$30-50 USD pp (worth it for the experience) #PolancoBrunch #CDMXFoodie #LemonLovers #AestheticDining #MexicoCityTravel
