Around 20 restaurants in the CDMX will join the initiative Eat what you can, pay what you want. This is a proposal in which, for one day, you can eat without limits and not spend a fortune. Some Michelin-starred restaurants joined the list!
What does it consist of? On Wednesday, August 27, these places will welcome you with their regular menus and experiences. The only thing that changes is the value of the meal; you will pay what you consider, without any judgment.
Please note that drinks are charged at a la carte prices. There are no consumption limits or other restrictions. In addition, you will be able to attend the restaurants during their normal hours.
Although Eat what you can, pay what you want was born in 2017, it is the first time that more restaurants in CDMX join in.
This is an initiative promoted by Masala y Maíz restaurant, 8 years ago. The objective is that diners have greater accessibility to a gastronomic experience.
Attendees will not only taste delicious food, they will also discover the hospitality around the table, without any monetary or consumption limitations.
This 2025 is the first time that other restaurants will join the project. Get ready to build a culinary route and get to know the richest cuisines of the CDMX.
