Elena Reygadas has had a busy and exciting last couple of years. The chef and owner of Mexico City’s Rosetta received the award for The World’s Best Female Chef 2023 in May of last year. Rosetta has been featured in eight editions of Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants since 2014, and recently announced as number 34 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Now, the gorgeous garden restaurant has received a Michelin star in the guide’s first ever Mexico edition.

After starting her culinary career in London, Reygadas decided to return to her hometown to see what she could do with traditional Mexican products and recipes. Opened in 2010 in an old mansion in the emblematic Colonia Roma neighborhood, Rosetta offers the chef’s personal vision of Mexican cuisine, with a focus on seasonality, sustainability and fair-trade, using local ingredients sourced from small producers. The result is a creative cuisine that is decidedly Mexican, but with global influences.
