      I have not been to the Four Seasons Sunday brunch but I have been to the weekday breakfast buffet and it is fine. I wasn't necessarily impressed with much there, although it is quite a nice spread with chilaquiles, eggs, tamales, granola, yogurt, etc. The pan dulces were fine, nothing exceptional, and the chocolate caliente was very good. Other than the chocolate, nothing really stood out for me other than the service. I believe that the breakfast buffet is about US$35, roughly, when I was there in Feburary 2012. How is Sunday brunch different? The atmosphere is clubby and the outside courtyard is inviting, but I would go to El Cardenal for brunch over the Four Seasons as long as El Cardenal in the Centro Historico is as good as it was a few years back when I was there.

        Mari, El Cardenal Alameda continues to be one of the best breakfasts in town. Conchas con nata, chocolate caliente, chilaquiles con huevo--all those and much more, simply delicious. Some prefer El Cardenal on Palma, but I prefer the Alameda location.

      I'm not sure I'd call this 'the best' Sunday brunch here (I haven't been to most of the mentioned places), but it is my favorite brunch place, so I'll recommend it: the place is named Saks - http://www.saks.com.mx

      Always a long line, but I don't mind waiting. Really good coffee, delicious pastries baked in the restaurant, delicious main dishes (I recommend the huevos de la campiña), fresh juices.

        Today on Groupon Mexico there is a discount for 50% off Sunday brunch at Hotel Brick's Brasserie La Moderna.

        I have been to the hotel for press events and have eaten their appetizers, which are always amazing, (and I usually never eat at those types of events).

        The brunch sounds pretty good - and comes with unlimited mimosas, bloody marys, etc. So I bought the coupon to check it out. Here is the link if you are interested:

        Could be worth a try; I guess I'll find out and will post a review.

          Juliet, I signed up for Groupon.mx based on your post. Now, to get to D.F.!

          Please let us know how it was. We have passed the Hotel Brick on various occasions, but never have succumbed to its allure.

            A trip to the Sunday brunch at Las Mananitas in nearby Cuernavaca is a memory maker. It is more elegant than The Mansion in Turtle Creek in Dallas, which says something.

              Veggo, what an excellent suggestion! Las Mañanitas is completely gorgeous--and a peacock will share your breakfast, eating right out of your hand!

                The Four Seasons has an amazing brunch, they'll even grill fish, shrimp or steaks on the grill in the courtyard for you.

                          They will be closed for about 10 to 12 days ... its Mexico so reopen date hasn't been set yet.
                          Here is their link http://maximobistrot.com.mx/maximo/

                          A definite MUST GO in the city!

                      For a SATURDAY brunch of typical Mexican breakfast foods, you might want to try Fonda San Ángel on Plaza Jacinta in San Ángel. The available dishes are plentiful and include fresh seasonal fruits, fresh pan dulce of all kinds, pozole, six or eight guisados (prepared meat and egg dishes) served from big clay cazuelas, quesadillas and eggs prepared to order, yoghurt with honey and cereal, and a host of other choices. The covered terrace is beautiful, the interior rooms are spacious and attractive, and you'll be able to shop the Bazar San Ángel when you finish your meal.

                      I know this is a Saturday brunch rather than the Sunday brunch you requested, but you might well enjoy the difference.
