Paxia, founded in 2005 by Daniel Ovadía, revolutionized contemporary Mexican cuisine by combining innovative techniques with Mexico’s most emblematic flavors. Over the years, it became a culinary benchmark both in Mexico and internationally, pioneering the evolution of modern Mexican gastronomy.

Today, Paxia reemerges with a renewed vision under a more mature chef. The menu blends tradition and innovation, reflecting Ovadía’s personal growth. Each dish tells a story that captures the essence of Mexican cuisine with a sophisticated and unique twist.

The restaurant is located on the rooftop of Hotel Umbral, within the iconic Edificio España in Mexico City's Historic Center. With breathtaking views of the capital, Paxia offers a dining experience where gastronomy, architecture, and culture come together. Dining at Paxia is the ultimate way to experience Mexico!

    Pesima atención, el mesero de malas toda la tarde, aventando los cubiertos y platillos. Algunos platos fríos después de que se tardaron fácil hora y media para llevarlos a la mesa. Lo único rico son las bebidas pero no vale la pena el trato tan grosero de los meseros para ellas….

    A fantastic experience! Our waiter spoke very little English so ordering was exciting. The portions are generous, the food fresh and creative. The drinks, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic were delicious. Bravo!

    For food quality and service this turned out to be our best of four experiences starting in Mexico City. The day we were here the weather was cold so clear plastic drapes were drawn. It’s a rooftop setting that would be beautiful on a warmer night. The hotel hosts many business travelers, but the restaurant is quite suitable for couples and groups.

    Grandiosa experiencia culinaria aunque sugiero revisar el maridaje de algunos platillos para resaltar sabores. El vino “Rodapiedras” ya había pasado su mejor momento, ya oxidado y lo tuvieron que cambiar por otro varietal y marca. También sugiero que si alguna de las personas de servicio están con algún malestar respiratorio, puedan usar cubrebocas.
