Head chef Enrique Olvera has ditched the elaborations on classic dishes his Mexico city restaurant was previously renowned for, in favour of those that are market-inspired. Pujol’s food nods to a strong cultural legacy with traditional ingredients reworked into new dishes by the restaurant’s R&D staff: coffee, corn and flying ants are toasted and ground, stuffed into a dried pumpkin and wrapped in corn leaves. The staunchly traditional approach is paying significant dividends.

“Market – inspired Mexican that’s turning heads”
