Travel: Quintonil
Quintonil is one of the worlds best restaurants. In fact, according to The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, Quintonil is number 9. Jorge Vallejo on the pass is exceptional, a one of a kind chef and well worth the visit. Okay, I won’t talk a lot in this post, but rather let the photos speak for themselves. A few more words and then into the experience! Quintonil First, we ate at the kitchen bar and had the tasting menu – the full 3.5 hour sitting. It…

Travel: Muse Soumaya
Museo Soumaya is a must see in Mexico City. This place is huge, free, and one museum you won’t want to miss. We spent about 2 hours here and I could have easily spent about 3-4, yet I’d need a lot of snacks. If you’ve never heard of the Museo Soumaya I’m sure you’ve seen the building, right? Those hexagons are iconic! The building is huge and there are 7 levels, including the entrance – it’s a deceptive building. Okay, let’s check out some photos!…

Travel: Museo de Arte Moderno
Museo de Arte Moderno – the Mexico City Museum of Modern Art! It’s worth the visit, from outdoor sculptures to colourful paintings, this place is awakening!

Museo de Arte Moderno There is a cost to enter – roughly 5$ Canadian, and well worth it. Oh, and the museum is free on Sundays! We couldn’t visit on the Sunday…

Travel: Museo Jumex
Museo Jumex is a free (yes, free!) museum in Mexico City. It’s beautiful, full of open spaces, and worth visiting if you’re a lover of lines, art, and architecture. We spent about 60 minutes in the museum, the exhibits are huge and my favourite part was the outdoor balconies. Okay, let’s check out some photos! First, I want to share this staircase. There are elevators, and do suggest you take one, they’re massive. I think they only have one set of elevators and they use…

Travel: Mexico City Lunch Eats
Mexico City lunch eats! One of the trickiest meals for a Celiac while travelling is lunch, yet these CDMX eats don’t disappoint. Check out these three places and you’ll be one happy traveller! Why is lunch so hard while travelling? For me, it’s because our location changes from day-to-day. For breakfast, our starting point is the hotel, so it’s easy to navigate. Same with dinner, after a day of sightseeing we usually make our way back to the hotel before heading out for dinner. So…

Travel: Palacio De Bellas Artes
Palacio De Bellas Artes is an iconic building and museum in the heart of Mexico City. Enjoy the large parks, the paintings, and the people watching – be sure to check it out if you’re ever in CDMX. We stopped by on a Monday, and then again on a Wednesday and both times it was closed. Luckily for us, we saw all the paintings on the Thursday. Plus, it’s only a 20 minute walk from the Hotel Emporio and the stroll through the park is…
