Pujol Opens in Mexico City
ESTIMÉCONFIANCE 70 %Wikipedia[1] gives the year only - "Founded in 2000" - and names no month or day, so the pin sits on that year's last day as a year-only date does. The place is the restaurant's present Polanco home on Calle Alfredo Tennyson, which it moved to after opening elsewhere in the city.
Enrique Olvera opened Pujol in 2000 and spent the next two decades turning it into the restaurant that taught the fine-dining world to take Mexican cooking seriously - most famously through a mole kept going and re-fed for thousands of days, served as a ring of sauce around a younger one. It has been a fixture of the World's 50 Best list for years and moved to its present Polanco address, a courtyard house with a tasting counter, in the 2010s.
