Pórtico

Pórtico is the all-day restaurant inside Andaz Mexico City Condesa, serving an expansive breakfast buffet that draws hotel guests and locals alike. The spread runs the gamut from made-to-order tacos and quesadillas at the Mexican station to build-your-own bagels, fresh pastries baked in-house, and a full selection of Western breakfast classics — eggs, sausage, hash browns, fruit. The homemade jams and house-baked pan dulce, including conchas and laminated pan suizo, get particular attention.

Service is attentive, and the buffet format allows you to sample widely or stick with what you know. The restaurant stays open until late evening, but breakfast is what brings people in. Reservations aren't required for à la carte, though the buffet runs daily and is moderately priced for the quality and variety.
