Mexico City · gelato
Casa Morgana
The deliberate exception in a city guide built to show a tradition that owes nothing to Italy: an Italian-trained gelatiera who bends the technique to the Mexican calendar instead of exporting it unchanged. Two hundred and twenty flavours a year, eight at a time.
What to order
Whatever the season is — pan de muerto in the autumn.
