Salvajes Brasserie

As a kind of tavern that also offered homemade dishes, the concept of Brasserie originated in Munich, Germany, and later became popular in Paris, after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Today, although the term in French refers to the place where beer is made and sold, the concept is more used to refer to small bistro-like spaces (where the owner usually serves his clientele), but with a wider menu and a more professional service.

With just under three months of opening, this is the concept that feeds the spirit of Salvajes Brasserie, cozy place in the heart of the city, inside an old and classic house in the center, with intimate interior spaces, a comfortable terrace and a bar for three in front of the kitchen -favorite place of a server-, where the magic is in charge of chef Jorge Avendaño, who tells us that the name of the place is inspired by the famous film by Oliver Stone; and who defines the project as a traditional French restaurant, classics in cuisine and bar, with a good selection of wines and beers. Music is also important, and ultimately, essential in the personality of a well-kept space.

In Salvajes you can listen to a good jazz standard, a dark and powerful blues or a classic of the 40s, while drinking the aperitif “Salvajes” (Lillet Blanc, violet liqueur and tonic water), a glass of Bordeaux or a shot of mezcal. For the demanding appetite, chef Avendaño recommends the beef pie with old mustard and dill vinegar; French bread with buttered lobster and anchovy and paprika remoulade; and the Coq au vin, the classic chicken stew with vegetables and red wine reduction and beef jus, so the reader can be salivating right now.

At the helm of Salvajes Brasserie, there are Aída García, Alejandra Cortina and chef Avendaño; Those who have managed to build a space with a very particular spirit, a place where the senses are seduced through an anachronistic atmosphere, a small palace and monument to get lost in pure hedonism: in food, in drinks, in music, in the atmosphere: essential ingredients of the best stories.

Salvajes Brasserie is located at 92 Hidalgo Street, downtown area, with a schedule from Tuesday to Saturday from 2pm to 10pm, and on Sundays from 2pm to 6pm.
