Where is Amand in Roma Sur?

Amand is at Calle Manzanillo 47, Roma Sur, Cuauhtemoc, 06760 Mexico City. It occupies the ground floor of the mansion that houses the Maximo Mexico boutique hotel, a few blocks south of Avenida Baja California. One food outlet lists the number as 46, but the hotel and the restaurant's own listings give 47.

What are Amand's opening hours?

Amand Roma Sur is open every day from the morning until 8 pm. Press coverage from July 2026 gives the opening time as 8 am in one outlet and 9 am in another, so check the Instagram account @amand.mx before an early visit. Breakfast dishes are served all day.

How much does brunch at Amand cost?

Mexican press puts the average spend at 200 to 400 MXN per person, about 11 to 22 USD, for a breakfast plate and a drink. Individual pastries such as croissants and conchas run 60 to 90 MXN, roughly 3 to 5 USD. Those figures were reported in July 2026 and prices move, so treat them as a guide.

Do I need a reservation at Amand?

No, Amand works mainly on walk-ins like any bakery cafe, but it does take bookings through OpenTable under the name Amand, Ciudad de Mexico. On weekend mornings a reservation saves you a wait for a table on the terrace or in the vaulted room.

Who is the chef at Amand?

The executive chef is Axel Vazquez, who trained in French baking at Le Cordon Bleu and worked at Casa de Francia in Mexico City before joining Grupo Ikigai. He designed the menu for all three Amand locations: Prado Norte in Lomas de Chapultepec, Brickell Key in Miami and Roma Sur.

Does Amand have plant-based milk and vegetarian options?

Yes. When I filmed, every alternative milk on the list was available for coffee and matcha. The menu also carries vegetarian plates such as the spinach and parmesan quiche, avocado toast and the fruit plate, and the bakery counter is largely vegetarian by nature.

Is Amand good for working on a laptop?

Amand is set up for long sittings. The room is quiet in the mid-morning and mid-afternoon, the tables are full size, and the hours run until 8 pm, so it works as an office between meals. Weekend brunch hours are busy and less suited to laptops.

What is the Maximo Mexico hotel above Amand?

Maximo Mexico is a 16-room boutique hotel that opened in the summer of 2026 in a restored early twentieth century mansion at Manzanillo 47. It is built around a contemporary art collection and a central terrace, and Amand is its ground floor cafe and bakery. Hotel guests and walk-in diners share the same room.

Amand Roma Sur: bakery, brunch menu, prices and hours

French-inspired bakery and all-day brunch café from Grupo Ikigai, with a menu by executive chef Axel Vázquez. It occupies the ground floor of a restored Porfirian mansion that now houses the Maximo México boutique hotel. Brick vaulted ceilings, mirrors, and a terrace. Don't skip the guayaba roll;)

Grupo Ikigai's third Amand, run by Le Cordon Bleu trained chef Axel Vazquez, sits on the ground floor of the Maximo Mexico boutique hotel. Here is what the menu covers, what it costs, how to book and how to get there.

What Amand is

Amand is a French-inspired bakery and all-day brunch cafe on the ground floor of a restored Porfirian mansion at Calle Manzanillo 47 in Roma Sur, Mexico City. The upper floors of the same building are the Maximo Mexico boutique hotel, a 16-room property built around a contemporary art collection that opened in the summer of 2026. The cafe opened a few weeks earlier, in July 2026.

It is the third Amand. The first opened on Avenida Prado Norte in Lomas de Chapultepec as a delicatessen and restaurant. The second went to Brickell Key in Miami. The Roma Sur branch is the most casual of the three: a bakery counter at the front, a dining room under brick vaults, and a terrace.

Amand belongs to Grupo Ikigai, the Mexico City group behind the Italian restaurants Mattea and Ennea and the Japanese restaurant Ikigai in San Angel. The brand was created, in the group’s words, to put bread at the centre of the table rather than beside it.

Who cooks here

The executive chef is Axel Vazquez. He trained in French baking at Le Cordon Bleu and worked at Casa de Francia, the French cultural centre’s restaurant in Mexico City, before building the Amand concept for Grupo Ikigai. In interviews from July 2026 he described the Roma menu as starting from a French breakfast and then giving in to what Mexicans actually want in the morning: chilaquiles, eggs and beans. The bakery uses long fermentations and sourdough for its loaves, and the pastry list mixes French classics with Mexican conchas.

The menu runs all day, so breakfast dishes are available at four in the afternoon. It is divided into a bakery counter, where you order pastries to take away or to eat in, and a printed brunch menu served at the tables. There is no tasting menu and no set-price formula.

Bakery counter: croissants, pain au chocolat, cinnamon rolls, guayaba (guava) rolls, conchas, brownies, orange and olive oil pound cake, and sourdough loaves to take home.
Mexican breakfast: chilaquiles with chicken, enchiladas, huevos cazuela (eggs baked in a clay dish).
French and international breakfast: quiche Lorraine, spinach and parmesan quiche, French toast, avocado toast with salmon, baked eggs.
Lunch: a French dip au jus, fried chicken, sandwiches on house bread, burgers and salads.
Drinks: specialty coffee (espresso, flat white, cold brew), matcha, tea, infusions and frappes, with a full list of alternative milks.

What I ate

When I filmed in early September 2026 I ordered from the brunch menu and the counter:

Avocado toast with salmon, served under a large pile of arugula.
Baked eggs with bacon, diced peppers and goat cheese, with small wedges of pita on the side.
A guayaba roll from the pastry case, which came warm and heavily filled.
Coffee with alternative milk. Every option on the list was in stock that day.

The chilaquiles are the traditional choice on the Mexican side of the menu and the quiches are the vegetarian standbys. Pastry stock changes through the day, so the guayaba roll is not guaranteed after mid-afternoon.

What it costs

Prices are in Mexican pesos. These are the figures reported by Mexican food press in July 2026, a few weeks after opening. Amand does not publish a full price list online, so use them as a guide and expect movement.

Item	Price
Croissant, concha or other counter pastry	60 to 90 MXN, about 3 to 5 USD
Average spend per person, breakfast plate and drink	200 to 400 MXN, about 11 to 22 USD
Sourdough loaf to take home	Priced at the counter

For the neighbourhood this is mid-range. A pastry and a coffee at the counter keeps you under 200 MXN. A full brunch with a main plate, a pastry and a specialty coffee lands at the top of the range. Service is charged in the usual Mexico City way, as a tip of 10 to 15 percent added by you at payment.

Do you need a reservation

Not usually. Amand runs as a bakery cafe and most guests walk in. It is listed on OpenTable as Amand, Ciudad de Mexico, so you can reserve a table for weekend brunch, when the terrace fills first. For a weekday breakfast or an afternoon coffee, walk in.

OpenTable: search Amand, Ciudad de Mexico.
Instagram: @amand.mx, which posts hours changes and new pastries.
Hours: daily until 8 pm. Opening time is listed as 8 am by one outlet and 9 am by another, so confirm before an early visit.

Getting there

Address: Calle Manzanillo 47, Roma Sur, Cuauhtemoc, 06760 Mexico City. It shares the entrance block with the Maximo Mexico hotel.
Neighbourhood: Roma Sur, the quieter half of Colonia Roma south of Avenida Baja California.
Metro: Centro Medico (lines 3 and 9) is about a 10 minute walk east. Metrobus Sonora on Insurgentes is about the same distance west.
Walking: roughly 15 minutes from Parque Mexico in Condesa and 15 to 20 minutes from Alvaro Obregon in Roma Norte.
Car: street parking on Manzanillo is scarce. Ride-share is the simplest way in from Polanco or the Centro.
The other branches are at Avenida Prado Norte 155, Lomas de Chapultepec, and 635 Brickell Key Drive, Miami.

Before you go

Go before noon for the full pastry case. The counter is restocked through the morning and thins out in the afternoon.
Weekend brunch is the busy window. Weekday mornings are calm enough to work in.
The room is the draw. Catalan brick vaults, plasterwork on white walls, gilt-framed mirrors, glass chandeliers and tall windows. Bring a camera if that matters to you; the light is best mid-morning.
Kids are fine. Full-size tables, high ceilings and a terrace make it easy with a stroller.
Portions are generous. One main plate and one pastry is enough for most people.
Pair it with a walk. Roma Sur is a residential grid with fewer visitors than Roma Norte. For more places in the area, see the Mexico City recommendations.
Check the hours before you go. The hours on this page come from the venue’s public listings, which drift, so confirm on Google Maps or the venue’s own channels before a special trip.
