Opening Times of Mexico City Restaurants
Semana Santa (Holy Week) this year starts Monday, April 2nd, and ends Sunday, April 8. During this week, the huge metropolis turns into a peaceful, laid-back place. The former ‘Paris of the new world’ c. 1960 returns. Empty streets, clean air draw a few to stay in the city.
While some people are lucky enough to have the whole week off, most depart starting on Wednesday, and things get quieter and quieter, grinding to a halt on Easter Sunday. For that reason, here’s a schedule of some of the cities’ best restaurants from the food blog goodfoodmexicocity, so you don’t get stuck outside:
