Sud 777 (sometimes stylized SUD777) is a restaurant in Jardines del Pedregal, Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City. It is owned by chef Edgar Núñez. It was founded in 2008 and it has à la carte options and a twelve-course tasting menu. The restaurant serves French food made with Mexican ingredients, mainly vegetables.

Sud 777 was awarded one Michelin star in 2024 in the first Michelin Guide covering restaurants in Mexico.

History[edit]

Edgar Núñez [es] founded Sud 777 in 2008 in Jardines del Pedregal, Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City.[3][4] He was trained in French cuisine in restaurants like Noma.[5][6] Jorge Toledo from El Economista describes the restaurant with a building style that is evocative of the 1940s and 1950s, similar to works by Luis Barragán, Max Cetto, or Antonio Attolini Lack.[1]

In 2016, Núñez opened Comedor Jacinta in the Polanco neighborhood, in Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City, which offers a different menu from that of Sud 777.[7]

Menu and dining[edit]

According to Toledo, instead of serving conventional Mexican food, Sud 777's dishes are made with Mexican ingredients and French cooking methods; as an example, he said that duck leg is fried much like carnitas, in its fat.[4][1] The cuisine is mainly vegetable-based and the restaurant offers à la carte menu and a seasonal twelve-course tasting menu.[4][8][9]

Reservations are required for consumption at Sud 777;[2] the restaurant has a chef's table where Núñez provides a seven-course meal and Mexican wine to up to eight people who reserve it in advance.[1] In addition, there is a sushi-only section named Kokeshi and a longue bar.[10]

Reception and recognition[edit]

Carlos Maribona wrote for ABC that the food breaks the mold because some hors d'oeuvre could function as desserts and vice versa, and concluding that Sud 777 is the best Mexican restaurant he has visited.[8] Glotón Mundano from SinEmbargo.mx approved that the restaurant be located in a non-central area of the city.[11] Additional to the main restaurant, Julie Schwietert Collazo recommended the Kokeshi option for Afar.[12]

On their selection of the top twenty-three restaurants in Mexico City, Time Out placed Sud 777 at number eight.[13] The restaurant was chosen for the guide's selections by a Fodor's critic.[14]

Awards[edit]

Michelin Guide debuted in 2024 in Mexico. It rewarded 18 restaurants with Michelin stars. Sud 777 received one star—meaning "high-quality cooking, worth a stop". The guide added that "[c]hef Edgar Núñez presides over a multicourse tasting menu" and the "space is modern and sprawling, with lofted ceilings, dark wood, and earthy colors".[15] Additionally, Comedor Jacinta received a Bib Gourmand rating, indicating "exceptionally good food at moderate prices", stating further that its "dishes are simple, but tasty, with excellent technique and abundant portions—all at a reasonable price".[16]
