CDMX in the casa, y'all.


Inspired by its roots in the bohemian Colonia Condesa, La Condesa will host its first-annual collaboration dinner with guest chefs from Ciudad de Mexico on Monday, August 28th.

 

Explore the diverse flavors of our southern neighbor with a seven-course menu created in collaboration with guest chefs Joaquin Cardoso and Sofía Cortina of Hotel Carlota,

a luxury boutique hotel in the Cuauhtémoc District of Mexico City.


After the night's over, come back for more: La Condesa will continue to offer a dish from the special menu for a week following the event. A portion of its proceeds will be donated to Fresh Chefs Society, an Austin nonprofit that connects foster care youth with the art of cooking.
