Axolao is the intimate Mexico City restaurant of Peruvian chef Enrique Paredes, who also owns the acclaimed Amazo 1 and Amazo 2 in São Paulo. Before moving to Mexico, Chef Enrique made his mark in Lima with the outstanding plant-forward restaurant Barracuda in the Barranco district. His cuisine is a masterclass in balance, seamlessly combining ingredients, flavours, textures, techniques and colours while playing with contrasts between sweet, spicy and delicate notes. Around 70% of the menu is pure plant, with vegetables and fruit taking centre stage in a series of spectacular, artistic creations. Axolao is a perfect reflection of Chef Enrique's creativity and his deep respect for produce. Every plate is visually stunning, technically accomplished and bursting with flavour. A must-visit for anyone seeking one of Mexico City's most exciting vegetable-driven dining experiences.
