Sud 777: Inspired Mexican Food in a Contemporary Space

Published Jul 31, 2020 by Dave | 3 minute read | May contain affiliate links |

Sud 777 exterior

Sud 777 immediately became one of my favorite restaurants in Mexico City after dining there in April 2018.

Mexican chef Edgar Nuñez gained valuable experience and inspiration during his twenties while staging at some of the world's best restaurants, including Noma and El Bulli.

In 2008, he joined Sud 777 as Executive Chef.

The restaurant has been on the list of the best restaurants in Latin America since 2013, a testament to Nuñez's consistency in the kitchen.

Sud 777 is in Jardines del Pedregal, about a 30-minute drive south by highway from Condesa, the park-filled neighborhood where I like to base myself.

The exterior invites diners to ascend a staircase. Upon entering the space, it becomes clear why.

The two-story building features a large interior courtyard. Natural light fills the space, which is crawling with ivy and other plant life.

The ground floor serves as a bar and lounge; the main dining room is on the second floor.

It was 2 pm when I arrived for lunch, and I was promptly shown to my table facing the interior courtyard.

Tasting Menu at Sud 777

Sud 777 offers a la carte dining as well as a seasonal tasting menu.

I opted for the 11-course tasting menu with juice pairing. The following photos are from April 15, 2018.

The watermelon was paired with smoked tomato juice in a skull-shaped glass, a terrific combo.

The salad was paired with fresh beet juice served in a wine glass.

Let's all pause and appreciate the fact that there was a donut on the menu for lunch this day. And certainly one of the fanciest donuts I've ever eaten.

The next course was Kino clams with "hoja santa," and sherry. It was paired with white almond juice.

Catch of the day

The catch of the day was sea bass, served with a perfectly-cooked farm fresh egg.

I love the simple, yet elegant presentation. The dish was paired with green seaweed juice.

For the meat course, I received brisket with bok choy and sweet potato, paired red berry juice.

Onion, caramel, and ice cream

Onion for dessert? Why not! This creative combination of onion, caramel, and salted yogurt ice cream was a delight to devour.

Due to my kiwi allergy, I requested a substitute here. I can't recall what it was, exactly, but you get the picture.

Last, but certainly not least, there was this coconut and passion fruit dessert.

How much did this 11-course tasting menu with juice pairings cost?

Including sparkling water, tax, and tip, I paid a total of $85.

Dining at Sud 777 is an excellent value. The food is fresh, in season, and expertly prepared.

You're eating in a cool space, filled with light by day, and surely lots of locals by night.

I was excited to be returning a few months ago, until the world was flipped upside down.
