Quintonil
Mexico
Quintonil is the Mexico City restaurant of Jorge Vallejo and Alejandra Flores, who opened it in 2012. At its Polanco address, the tasting menu explores Mexican ingredients and traditional techniques through Vallejo's contemporary approach to the country's biodiversity. Recent courses have included Baja California steelhead trout with chicatana ant adobo, an ayocote bean tamal with young corn and plantain foam, and cactus paddle sorbet. Mexican cornbread with nixtamal rompope continues the theme into dessert. Mexican wine and non-alcoholic pairings are available, and the menu can be adapted for vegan, vegetarian or pescatarian diets when arranged in advance.

Pujol
Mexico
Enrique Olvera's Pujol explores Mexican ingredients and culinary traditions from its address in Mexico City's Polanco district. The restaurant offers two distinct experiences: a seasonal tasting menu in the dining room and a taco omakase that gives corn and its preparations a central role. Mole madre is a defining course. The sauce matures over years and is served alongside a freshly made mole, drawing attention to the changes that time brings to flavour. Through this combination of preservation, seasonality and contemporary technique, the kitchen gives familiar Mexican food a different expression while keeping its regional roots in view.

Rosetta
Mexico
Rosetta is Elena Reygadas' flagship restaurant in Mexico City's Roma neighbourhood, occupying a large mansion on Calle Colima. Its à la carte menu changes with the seasons and available produce, with vegetables playing a substantial role in the kitchen's work. Dishes are designed for sharing. Savoy-cabbage tacos with pistachio pipián and romeritos illustrate the restaurant's inventive use of plants, while sweet-potato tamal combines salsa macha and buttermilk. The menu moves between Reygadas' own creations and more traditional dishes. Upstairs, Salón Rosetta provides a small bar within the same building.

Fonda Mexican
Australia
Fonda Mexican’s Flinders Lane branch in Melbourne is the specific site described by the current official venue pages. Located at 31 Flinders Lane in the CBD, it is presented as a street-level restaurant with a mezzanine dining area that opens towards the laneway. The room is shown with extensive windows and an inner-city setting, placing the branch firmly within central Melbourne’s restaurant strip rather than as a suburban outlet or takeaway counter. The Flinders Lane venue is an eat-in restaurant with table service and a licensed bar offer. Its official functions pages show it can be booked for larger gatherings, either as a whole venue or in part, indicating a format that supports both everyday dining and private use. The listed event information also confirms practical facilities on site, including private bathrooms, two private bars and restricted disability access. Fonda’s own story describes the brand as serving “healthy Mexican” and explains the idea of a fonda as a home that opens its doors to the community. That framing is carried through the menu, which includes burritos, bowls, quesadillas and tacos, alongside margaritas and other cocktails. The result is a contemporary Mexican-led restaurant offer with enough breadth to suit lunch, dinner and drinks. Taken together, the verified details show a Melbourne CBD restaurant with a distinct Mexican identity and a flexible hospitality format. The Flinders Lane branch combines a street-facing mezzanine room with an established dining and functions set-up, while the food and drink list stays centred on familiar Mexican dishes and cocktails. It is a practical inner-city venue built for both casual meals and bookable occasions.
