The story
Au Pied De Cochon sits on Campos Eliseos 218 in Polanco, one of Mexico City's most storied dining addresses. The restaurant draws on the legacy of its famous Parisian namesake — the legendary Les Halles brasserie that never closes — and brings that spirit of generous, unfussy French cuisine to the Mexican capital.
In 2009, Wine Spectator awarded Au Pied De Cochon its Best of Award of Excellence, a distinction reserved for restaurants that go well beyond a token wine list. The honor reflects a cellar curated with the same seriousness that defines the kitchen — a natural complement to French cooking, where the right bottle is never an afterthought.
Guests come here for the kind of French dining that feels both timeless and comfortable: precise technique, quality ingredients, and a room that suits both a long business lunch and an unhurried dinner. The Polanco setting — tree-lined, cosmopolitan, a short walk from the city's finest hotels — adds to the sense of occasion without tipping into formality.
For anyone seeking a reliable, award-recognized French table in Mexico City, Au Pied De Cochon remains a consistent and well-regarded choice.
