Lanterna

• Fabulous!
• Have the waiter or cashier check the credit cards when you get separate checks.

“My co worker and I just happen to stumble upon La Lanterna after a grueling walk around PSDLR and the Zonarosa and were surprised to find it directly across the street from our hotel. We were greeted warmly and after seated we had to overcome a bit of a language barrier as neither of us speaks Spanish well. The owners son, pier, who spoke better English, approached and handled us with grace, warmth and a very friendly demeanor. He made food suggestions that turned out to be fantastic choices. (I hope I can find a "filet el burro steak" here that was cooked just like it. Awesome, but make it medium, as it is a bit too rare in the center to finish it off.) As it turned out, several of our other co workers had been there as well and spoke highly of La Lanterna. We liked it so much, we returned two more times during our month long work visit. .”

• Atmosphere.
• Buffet prices.

“The restaurant is beautifully situated in Chapultepec park beside the lake. If the weather is nice you can sit outside on the weekends which are ideal for children as there is an outdoor play area and ducks near by which love to be fed. The price for the buffet is on the steep side; unless you are a very large hungry man you won't eat your money's worth. We have a 3 year old who would rather play than eat and ultimately we get charged for a kids buffet when he only eats half a box of cereal. Very costly! The prices on the menu are affordable; however, the menu is only available on weekdays. We do return though on occasion as the atmosphere is a nice change in such a hectic city.”

• Good baklava for desert.
• Not an authentic place.

“Being an Arab here on business, I searched for a Lebanese restaurant that can provide me the comfort of home. There is not much choice here in the city. If this restaurant was in the Arab world it would rate poorly. The taste was disappointing. Thank goodness for the olives and the pita bread which I nibbled on. I ended up spending 200 pesos for one person. None of the waiting staff could speak Arabic (being an English and Arabic speaker only) which I struggled to order the basic dishes. Not an authentic place, but then again as I said earlier, there is no other choice.”

“My safe haven when I was in Mexico. Great service and great food. It was traditionally Mexican with a Western feel to it, everything looked and felt clean and well regulated. I'd definitely go again the next time I'm in Mexico and would recommend you to do the same.”

“My American husband & I enjoyed our visit to this exclusive/revolving restaurant. The atmosphere is very enjoyable and romantic, plus the food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. This is one of the best restaurants I have ever visited in Mexico. ”
