El Pendulo - Cuauhtémoc

I used to visit a lot the place last year ago. This was a god place to take a drink, snacks and even to dinner. Tonight the service was terrible, There were not several drinks on the menu, it took a long time to serve them, and the worst, the waiter and manager were very rude, disrespectful and arrogants.

We loved this place. As a group of visiting Librarians we had heard good recommendations about this place. We stopped in for lunch to find out they don't serve lunch until 1pm. So we had brunch instead.

Located around the main shopping street thia cafe/ bar in a bookshop was a nice place to have a tea and read a bit. The service was friendly and relatively fast. We haven’t tried the food.

We were looking for dinner near our hotel in Zona Rosa and El Pendulo was recommended. We enjoyed it because the menu while not deep, did offer a wide variety of food options (we were a week into our visit in Mexico andnon-mexican options were appealing). We both had pasta dishes and while they weren't the best I'd ever had, they were good for the price I'd recommend the restaurant for the experience of dining in a book store with a restaurant and a piano bar. Wish we weren't so tired, so we could have gone upstairs to enjoy the piano bar for a night cap.

....if only the food were better. The bookstore is fun, with great variety, classics, quirky and many Mexican gems. I highly recommend the bookstore while the restaurant is more for a coffee and a snack. A great plan ce to hang out for a few hours....
