Havre 77 — Restaurant in Mexico City

Came for the burger and the onion soup. Neither disappointed. I’ve been trying burgers around town and this may be the best expensive hamburger I’ve tried so far. Very high quality beef, cooked correctly to medium as suggested, juicy and flavorful with a rich beefy flavor. Fresh bun that was soft and held up well to the end of the sandwich. Thick, crispy, meaty bacon. Just the right amount of fixings and condiments. Good size burger, not the largest but the meat is so rich that I felt stuffed and had a hard time finishing. Served with a small portion of very well prepared fries, cooked to English style chip perfection with a crisp coat and soft inside. I was dipping them into the beef drippings of the burger at the end.

The onion soup is as good as everyone describes and maybe better. Deep flavor and a generous amount of onions cooked down. Browned cheese across the top of the bowl covering a giant crouton.

Service was great. I walked in early on a weeknight with no reservation, but it became more crowded as the night went on. It’s in an old villa with spilt rooms. Great place for a date. Good wine selection, with very good choices by the cup, a nice change to most places. Cocktails...

Decent food & service in a beautiful setting. Some details could use more attention.

The restaurant is in the same building as Sushi Kyo. Was craving steak & frites and came specifically for it.

Started with complimentary baguette and butter. The baguette was extremely tasty, even though it was not warmed up. The butter was good, but erring on the cold side.

The salad was simple and delicious. The Dijon mustard seed vinaigrette has just the right amount of flavors.

Steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The sauce feels rather “detached” from the meat in my opinion, and unfortunately I was not a fan of how the meat itself tasted. The fries were very thin and crunchy, which is sadly also not my personal preference.

The tarte tartin is pretty good. Not overly sweet, with a soft buttery pastry base. (Think the one from Cafe Milou remains my favorite, because I like the pastry to be a bit caramelized.)

Overall it is a cute venue that would be fun for dates. There seems to be a good selection of wines by the glass as well.

Note: Came on a weekday at 1:15pm, only to find out that the restaurant doesn’t open till...

This is a great place. I think it could be better, though. The burger was amazing, no comments there, probably the best burger I had in Mexico. The onion soup was just right, and they were kind enough to separate in two portions. The steak was just ok. The only disappointment were the fries: not only a total amount of like 15 fries per plate, but what was annoying is that they were bad: hardened on the outside, dry on the inside, lacked salt. Just bad. I kinda wish they served a medium rare cote de boeuf with a lot of fries, I’m sure they would do a good job with that, and that is what is really missing in this city. We also had a creme brulee that was perfect (although some of the vanilla was concentrated on one of the sides). The service is good but it suffers from the same problems as elsewhere: the servers are lurking behind a window to snatch your plate the minute you are done, and they took a glass that still had wine. Not cool. I will...
