Fugaz Mexico City – Mediterranean-Mexican Small Plates with a Bib Gourmand

A Lively Corner in Roma Norte

On Orizaba street in Mexico City’s Roma Norte neighborhood, Fugaz brings together the bright, herb-driven flavors of the Mediterranean with the bold, earthy ingredients of Mexico. The result is a compact menu of small plates meant for sharing, where a simple dish of grilled vegetables or a ceviche might surprise you with its clarity and balance.

The space itself is unassuming but inviting—a few tables, an open kitchen, and a relaxed hum of conversation. It’s the kind of place where you can stop in for a quick meal or settle in for a longer evening of tasting.

Cooking That Earns Its Recognition

In 2026, Fugaz received a Bib Gourmand from Michelin, an award that highlights restaurants offering good quality cooking at a good value. This recognition fits the restaurant’s philosophy: no fuss, no pretense, just well-executed food that lets the ingredients speak. The kitchen draws on the cuisines of Mexico and the Mediterranean, treating each as a source of technique and tradition rather than a rigid label.

The short, seasonal menu changes often, but always emphasizes brightness and texture. Expect dishes like raw yellowtail with citrus and chile, or a slow-cooked lamb shoulder with beans and herbs. The kitchen’s confidence shows in the restraint—nothing is overdressed, and every component earns its place on the plate.

A Style All Its Own

Fugaz doesn’t try to be a fusion restaurant. Instead, it finds common ground between two rich culinary worlds—the olive oil, lemon, and garlic of the Mediterranean, and the chiles, epazote, and corn of Mexico. This approach, grounded in the cooking of both regions, has made Fugaz a favorite among locals and visitors alike who appreciate thoughtful, unpretentious food in the heart of the city.
