Mexico City's Most Photogenic Fusion Restaurant 🍣🌵
✨ A Dining Experience Where Mexico Meets Japan Tucked inside the luxurious St. Regis, ANIMAL redefines upscale Mexican dining with a bold Asian-Mexican fusion twist. From the moment you walk in, the sleek, moody ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable meal—perfect for both date nights and special celebrations. 🍽️ Must-Try Dishes: • "Mexi-Sushi": Their signature (fried shrimp nigiri) comes with a smoky-spicy mayo that’ll make you rethink fusion food. 🍤🔥 • Pulpo + Chicharrón (Octopus & Pork Crackling): Served with blue-corn tacos, this umami bomb is a must-order. 🐙💥 • Salmon "Aguachile": A luxe take on Mexican ceviche, though the lime-heavy marinade might punch your taste buds. 🍋🐟 🍸 Cocktail Drama While the drinks taste solid but not groundbreaking, the artistic glassware (think: smoked cloches, carved ice) makes them Insta-worthy. 🥃✨ 🎆 Surprise Perk: Mid-meal, the staff rolls out a mini fireworks display—because why not? (Only in Mexico City!) 💥🎇 💰 Damage: ~1,000 MXN per person 📍 Location: St. Regis Hotel, Paseo de la Reforma ✔️ Loved: ✅ Over-the-top service (almost too attentive—expect frequent upsells) ✅ Chopsticks-friendly (rare for high-end Mex spots!) ✅ Moody, photogenic interiors (dark wood + neon accents) ⚠️ Heads Up: • Steaks are skip-worthy (greasy and underwhelming). • Max 15% tip option—unusual for CDMX’s usual 18-20% norm. #CDMXFineDining #FusionFood #MexicoCityEats #DateNightVibes
