Meroma, Mexico City – Contemporary Mexican Restaurant with Michelin Recognition
On Colima Street in Roma Norte, Meroma offers a polished yet relaxed take on contemporary cooking. The restaurant’s open kitchen and robata grill anchor the space, while the outdoor seating makes it a natural fit for Mexico City’s year-round mild evenings.
The menu reads like a conversation between global technique and local ingredients. Snacks such as tempura zucchini flower and baby artichokes with labne set the tone. Starters include a house-made sourdough with dried chile butter, a romaine heart salad with smoked tofu dressing, and a daily crudo finished with toasted pecan paste and lemon vinaigrette. Tostadas come topped with smoked white fish and poblano aioli; oysters from Baja arrive with a spicy tomato mignonette.
Pastas are made in-house: agnolotti filled with fresh cheese and roasted mushrooms, tagliolini with a white ragout of beef and hoja santa, and orecchiette with lamb merguez and Korean chile. Main courses lean into the robata grill—a mojo-marinated organic half-chicken, a Berkshire pork chop with spicy honey, and a daily catch grilled over live fire. The soft shell blue crab from Veracruz with curry rice stands out, as does the charred eggplant with lentils and aquafaba.
Desserts are equally considered: a salted vanilla affogato, a condensed goat milk tart with cinnamon and chamomile, and a dark chocolate ganache with caramelized purple plantain and Veracruz macadamia.
The quality of the cooking has not gone unnoticed. Meroma earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a recognition that reflects the kitchen’s consistent execution and balanced, ingredient-driven approach. It’s a place where contemporary cuisine feels personal, generous, and deeply tied to the produce of Mexico.
