Bar Luz

5.0

We discovered Bar Luz since we had reserved at Alma for our anniversary, but they were temporarily closed, so they suggested we rebook at their little sister restaurant right next door (same chef & kitchen). While we were disappointed that we didn't get the chance to try Alma, Bar Luz was a very charming (albeit more casual) experience & we are happy we got to try it.
This restaurant places a lot of importance on using traditional methods & ingredients. The corn & peppers are imported, & the corn flour is freshly milled every morning. All tortillas are individually rolled, pressed & cooked to order. We appreciated that our waiter took the time to explain the process to us (service overall was really excellent).
In terms of food, everything was exceptional! We asked for a chef's choice & the menu they put together for us was well balanced, fresh, innovative & flavourful. We especially loved the scallop tostada (a work of art!) & cochinita pibil tacos, but everything we had was delicious & we had no complaints about anything we ate. The guajillo shrimps were grilled perfectly & incredibly juicy; the taco del dia (pork carnitas) melted in our mouths; tacos dorado (baja style) were light & crispy, & the sweet potato salad puree was creamy with a lovely smoky spice. For drinks we had mezcalitas & palomas & both of these were great as well.
The atmosphere in the restaurant (on a Wednesday evening) was relaxed & intimate. We were seated at the bar & enjoyed speaking with our waiter, who was clearly very passionate about his work & was very attentive throughout the evening.
In the summer on weekends, the restaurant apparently has alleyway parties with food on the grill & music. We are looking forward to coming back to try this out.

Il y beaucoup mieux pour moins cher. Très déçu. Prix exagérés. Nous avons partagé 5 plats & seulement les pétoncles & le poisson étaient correct mais sans plus. Je n'y retournerai pas & je ne le conseille pas. Bonne chance pour la suite.

Le décor est très joli. La cuisine très moyenne (gout de charbon très prononcé), menu très court (d'autant que plusieurs plats n'étaient pas disponibles), prix exorbitants pour une expérience culinaire franchement moyenne. Excellente margarita luz, pour le vin c'est compliqué (serve uniquement du vin nature, liste très courte, là aussi décevant). Bonne chance pour la suite, il y a beaucoup mieux ailleurs.

Excellente expérience ! La nourriture était absolument délicieuse, pleine de saveurs & très authentique. Les portions sont généreuses & les ingrédients frais. C'est une vraie expérience culinaire, autant par la qualité des plats que par la présentation. Le service était chaleureux & attentionné, ce qui a rendu le repas encore plus agréable. L'ambiance est conviviale & nous fait vraiment voyager au Mexique. Je recommande sans hésiter & j'y retournerai certainement !

Super expérience, du début à la fin. Nous avons partagés les plats à trois & le tout a été divin! Une mention d'honneur à la tostada de pétoncles & aux tacos 🌮. Le service était on point.

Blown away. Just exceptional in every way, & something different for a city with an incredible amount of exceptional dining. We loved every bite, & I woke of thinking about the rice pudding the next morning. Can't wait to return.
