CARNAL is the pleasure of the flesh and of the spirit. Proof of love, sign of confidence, a bet on the future. A gastrobar built for the “hijos” of 100, people who grew up and built roots in the restaurants of 100 Maneiras’ group. At CARNAL, a Mexican gastrobar opened in 2021 (and awarded with a Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide), with no need for labels, we are guided by the curves of the Quetzalcoatl that winds across the ceiling, flying over our heads as we stroll around the space. Intrigued by the “free mythology” put on canvas by the artist of this-world-and-the-other, Carlito Dalceggio. It is a collective story that is told here. A great art installation, unique and organic, where food, drinks, music and arts merge as one. Where the antojitos, tacos, tostadas, gringas, los principales and los dulces from the menu are “written” on hand-painted stoneware without rules or straight lines. Where the tequila and mezcal-based cocktails combine the world of gastronomy with the universe of the bar in a gastronomical approach to classic mixology. Behind that huge wooden and terracotta counter, 10 signature cocktails have been created (in addition to mocktails, classics, spirits and beers) with ingredients such as shitake mushrooms, cacao, habanero, corn, celery bulb and beets, among many fruits and herbs, not so common on a bar menu but that shine here, without being limited by preconceptions, representing what is the motto of the space: “Libre”.
