One More Place...

Today I had breakfast at El Cardinal, which has been an institution in Centro Historico for years.  The table linens are beautiful, the waiters are attentive, and the space is lovely.  But it was the food that made my day.  The coffee was the best I have had in Mexico City.  I ordered a spinach and cheese omelette that was beautifully presented.  The omelette was sort of wrapped in bright green spinach leaves but also had plenty of spinach inside.  It was in a pool of incredibly rich cheese sauce.  I was also served a basket with two rolls in it.  I asked for butter (which is not generally served in Mexico) and when I picked up a roll, found it hot with a crispy crust.  I managed not to sigh with pleasure...but it wasn't easy!
