I'm from Paris. But I don't live in France anymore. I missed the bistro food, our French junk food. But above all I was so surprised to find out they had a "au pied de cochon" in CDMX. The reason why is that this restaurant is a nightlife fixture in Paris, where the party animals and the noctambules hang out if they are hungry late at night or if all the parties in town suck, or any other reasons to be honest. Please tell you taxi that the restaurant is located within the hotel, our Uber driver was a bit confused when he dropped us at the entrance of the hotel. So here we go, from the popular neighborhood of Les Halles to the super chic Intercontinental where people are dressed like they are attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. This glimpse into glamorous CDMX was refreshing. You walk through the lobby and feel the cosmopolitan ambiance all around you. There is a bar that feels like the early 00s, very geometric filled with some kind of outdated jet set vibe. You keep walking and pass these big sculptures and a watch display: price tag, a bunch of 0s. We are sit by this group of young kids, they are drinking and having a lot of fun. At another table there are 2 buff dudes, short hair and only drinking a beverage. No alcohol. Hmm this reminded bodyguards on duty. More stories to tell and overall a great experience. Oh and the food, you are wondering, it's French, it's good of course.

In a few words: a fraud and a complete rip-off. We have been to the original Au Pied de Cochon in Les Halles area, in Paris, a dozen times and we love the place in the most dedicated manner. That was the reason we opted for Au Pied de Cochon in Polanco, CDMX. The overall recreation of the original place is OK. The food is merely a weak claim for an authentic French cuisine, but still OK. But then... we ordered the most expensive seafood plate, Plateau Royal for 2 persons for $2,960. The platter included a 500 gr Canadian lobster (Bogavante Canadiense). The lobster was never brought. When we inquired about the reasons, we were told that unfortunately the lobster wasn't available and instead - lo and behold - they gave us more shrimp. Seriously??? First of all, the staff was supposed to warn us about it before the plate was brought to us. And secondly... we were still charged the $2,960 even though the most expensive part of the dish got never served. This is the most fraudulent restaurant practice we have ever witnessed in years. A true disgrace.

Everything started well tonight with a wonderful happening pre-christmas, some lyric singers came and sang beautiful Christmassings! Then... the bad experience came. After ordering the food, I asked 3 times and waited 15 minutes for the wine list. The order my wine, an argentinean 2009 blend for 975MXP, and got for the same price the same blend of 2016, ok fine, I take it. It was really average one, for a less average price. Then the food came, first was scallops, it was good and well cooked. But then came an "onglet a l'echalotte ", what a shame! Meet was over matured, sides dishes were microwaved reheated or just kept warm for too long, sauce was just bad, a few shallots spread grossly on the steak and worse than all; greens were faded. Disappointing when you know the original brasserie in Paris and you pay this price.

The food was so good, how ever we made a reservation and asked for a table inside; when we arrive the hostess said no becouse "inside was full", it was a lie, since we arrive untill we leave it was half empty. I was still eating my main dish and they take my dish away and start to give the dessert menu like they wanted us to leave. I saw it in all the tables, not just us, i understand that is a high demand place, but for 5 people we spent 600 dollars, it is not a cheap place so I was expecting a better treatment.

Beautiful restaurant with overly attentive wait staff. The wine list is excellent but it is on a tablet which makes it a little inconvenient given its content. The wine waiter stands over you, which is disconcerting. The Carpaccio de Foie Gras was disappointing. I assumed a thinly sliced pate but received a plate of paste. The French onion soup is delicious but the sweetness seems artificial, not due to caramelized onions. The duck confit was very good. It is a place to be seen and over rated.

La comida no es mala pero tampoco sorprendente, lo bueno de este lugar es la decoración, simplemente perfecta y hermosa. Ojito, la rampa es muy inclinada si vas con alguna persona en silla de ruedas.
