Quintonil – November 1st, 2016 November 6th, 2016 – 3:30pm

Photos of the tasting menu at Quintonil in Mexico City on November 1st. Sorry I did not re-size the images. For my HTML good deed of the day, I did add alt-text though.

mango ceviche

beans, salsa, house tortillas

cactus ceviche with beet and seaweed, served with a glass of beet and mandarin juice (unpictured)

zuchini with raw xochimilco shrimp and their roe; served with mayonaise, salsa verde, 'water chile'

xochimilco shrimp broth, probably my favorite bite

avocado and escamoles (ant larvae) tartar with onion ash

grilled blue fin tuna with gastrique, turnip and eggplant puree

a giant morel (hard to tell by the photo, but it was about as long as the lip of my beer glass) stuffed with chanterelle with pea puree

turkey with recado negro fermented and charred vegetables

cactus sorbet with black salt

'berry chaos' (meringue, ice cream, powders, whole fruit, shattered frozen fruit, beet chip, clear jelly)

tea service; the waiter suggested the tomillo-estiva-menta-melissa-toronjil.

mamey panna cotta, sweet corn crumble, mamey seed ice cream

(unpictured: Vera Niega Wheat Ale, 2007? Macouzet Syrah, and some mini Pan de Muertos and mint gifts)
