Malix is an International restaurant in Mexico City (Polanco), $$$$; open Mon–Sat 14:00–22:30; closed Sun.
Polanco contemporary from chef Alonso Madrigal (Noma, Em, Rosetta alumni) - vegetable-forward, seasonal, all-day. Malix is chef Alonso Madrigal's Polanco restaurant, café, and wine shop in one. The name comes from the Mayan word for a stray/mestizo dog - 'without pedigree' - reflecting a menu with no fixed pedigree either: influences jump from Mexico to Noma (where Madrigal trained) to Laos and beyond. Think pâté with madeleines and pickles, house-made Lao-style sausages, grilled duck breast with house mole, tamal of coco y maíz rojo over peanut curry. Vegetable work is the star - mushrooms, lettuce, and seasonal produce are treated with the seriousness usually reserved for protein. Michelin Guide Recommended. The room has sidewalk tables, a U-shaped bar counter, and a display kitchen in the back. Good for mornings (breakfast), late lunches, and dinners; natural wine-focused. Malix is listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide, reflecting chef Alonso Madrigal's Noma-trained, vegetable-forward cooking that blends Mexican, Scandinavian, and Southeast Asian influences at one Polanco address that doubles as café and wine shop.
