Lardo, Mediterranean restaurant in Condesa, Mexico City, Mexico
Lardo is a Mediterranean restaurant in the Condesa neighborhood that sits in a space made from reclaimed wood and vintage café chairs. An open kitchen with a wood-fired oven is where chefs prepare pizzas and fresh dishes throughout the day.
The restaurant was founded by chef Elena Reygadas after her success with another establishment, expanding her cooking vision into this new space. This venture showed her approach to creating places where food and setting worked together.
The kitchen blends Italian and Mediterranean cooking methods with local Mexican ingredients to create shared plates that reflect the city's food connections. You see this approach in how familiar local products are prepared using techniques from across the Mediterranean.
The space includes a bakery counter near the entrance where you can purchase fresh pastries without sitting down to eat. This means you can stop by quickly if you just want something fresh to go.
The wood-fired oven is prominently visible throughout the space, turning the cooking process into something you can watch. You get to see how each pizza and dish comes together right in front of you.
