The St. Regis offers six dining options. Three of our favorites are the Bloom Garden, which is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, offering al fresco dining in a warm atmosphere surrounded by beautiful flowers, aromatic herbs, and wooden pergolas. La Table Krug offers an 8-course dining masterpiece, paired with Krug champagne, and is one of the most innovative and exclusive French restaurants in Mexico City. Finally, we love the King Cole Bar, where you can indulge in a St. Regis tradition, their unique version of the Bloody Mary.
