Animal Masaryk, Steakhouse in Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico.
Animal Masaryk is a restaurant in the Polanco area of Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City, that combines an omakase format with a steakhouse concept, serving premium meat cuts alongside sushi rolls. The space is divided into several dining areas, including an indoor section and a terrace.
The restaurant was founded as part of a Mexican dining group that focuses on upscale cuisine and has grown steadily within Mexico City's high-end food scene. In 2021, it received the Six Star Diamond Award, a recognition given by a North American hospitality organization.
Animal Masaryk sits in Polanco, a neighborhood known for its upscale dining scene, and the menu brings Japanese cooking methods together with local Mexican ingredients in a way that is easy to notice on the plate. The sushi rolls in particular use local produce, giving the menu a character that feels rooted in Mexico City.
The restaurant is on Calderon de la Barca 108 in Polanco and accepts reservations for both indoor seating and the terrace, so booking ahead is the best way to secure a table. Smart casual dress is expected by the door.
During the omakase service, the chef decides what each guest eats, which means the menu changes depending on what is available that day and what the chef chooses to prepare. Guests seated at the omakase counter can watch each course being put together directly in front of them.
