FORM + MATTER (FO+MA) — Restaurant in Mexico City

THE BEST COCKTAIL BAR IN MEXICO CITY!!! hands down!

I understand why Form + Matter has earned such incredible ratings. We stumbled upon this gem after dinner, completely unplanned, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip so far. The best experiences are the ones you don’t see coming…and this was exactly that.

From the moment we walked in, the vibe was on point. Form + Matter is full-blown mixology experience that redefines the rules around what a cocktail can be. A wide variety of cocktails, some so crystal clear and artfully constructed you can’t help but wonder about the science and creativity behind it. Every drink felt like a miniature chemistry experiment!

We sampled a few from their diverse and globally inspired menu,everything from inventive takes on tiki classics to sleek martinis that were almost too beautiful to drink. But here’s the thing: you can’t go wrong. Every cocktail was a sensory experience that awakened the palate and sparked conversation!

And if the drinks weren’t impressive enough, the service took things to another level. A huge shoutout to David, José, and the entire team behind the bar. These bar chefs…you can tell their passion, storytelling, and commitment to craft were in every pour. They took the time to explain each cocktail’s origin, ingredients, and intention, something that made the experience that much better!

Form + Matter (FOMA) is an absolute standout and one to watch in mixology scene. As a New Yorker who’s always tracking the most happening cocktail bars around the world, I don’t say that lightly!

I’ve already been twice in the span of 32 hours, and each visit left me more impressed. The bar is beautifully designed, the energy is vibrant but intimate, and the team behind the counter is truly world-class. The mixologists are not only incredibly skilled but also a hospitality superstars who brings passion and storytelling to every pour.

Over my two visits I sampled the Lychee Martini (a solid, refreshing pick, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye!), the Patagonia Fizz (a gin-based, light, and fruity. Good way to start ), and the Kim-let a daring cocktail featuring kimchi brine that absolutely blew me away. Complex, unexpected, and brilliantly balanced.

Oh and don’t sleep on the non alcoholic options either. My friend doesn’t drink and he had the Key lime pie and was raving about it !

FOMA isn’t just serving great drinks it’s reimagining the cocktail experience with intention and artistry. Their commitment to elevating rising mixologists and putting a fresh spin on the classics makes this spot a must-visit. Keep an eye out this place is destined for the big...

If you are reading this review, just go book your reservation right now. This place is truly one to RAVE about. From the atmosphere and vibes to the highly curated menu and outstanding service, this is one of Mexico City’s true GEMS. Jose, Carla, Roberto and the whole staff were SO accommodating, kind, and absolutely wonderful - they made our evening! We had the Lotta Butter, Isla Bonita and Patagonia Fizz. While all drinks were amazing - the Lotta Butter was my top fave - it’s complex flavors and mix of temperatures develops in your mouth in the most unique way. Also it’s Ron Zacapa base is a true delight! We got to tour the lab and the whole venue is really inspired - beautifully curated and thoughtfully put together in every single detail. The staff is extremely attentive, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Few places have ever impressed me as much as this location! We also had the bread and butter plate (brioche with rum butter and gin olive oil) - so delish! If you’re still reading this, just book your reservation already. Thank you Jose and team, we will definitely be back asap to enjoy more deliciouly...
