    We will enter a historical, gourmet and decorative experience. If the walls of this restaurant will speak, they would testify to talks by presidents, ministers, artists, intellectuals, revolutionaries and ordinary people who in everyday life enjoy international food with a Mexican twist, such as snails in chipotle sauce. As some drink slips down our throats, our ears delight in the trio’s music and our sights in Art Noveau decorative details from over a century ago.
