El Alebrije: authentic, Mexican craftsmanship at a high level
Concept at El Alebrije:
El Alebrije is an upscale Mexican restaurant that is now located in District 4 next to the second restaurant, Tacos Ramiro y Macario. Only the popular 5-course tasting menu is served, at CHF 125 per person plus drinks.
The number of guests is limited to 12 so that every guest can fully enjoy El Alebrije's culinary delicacies.
Concept at El Alebrije:
The authentic dishes are prepared fresh daily by hand by chef Miguel and his team. This starts with the tortilla, which is made from the original blue corn whenever possible. The various signature cocktails at El Alebrije are also handmade.
The tacos and churros are next level and should not be missed! 🙌
