Mexico City mayor hails Miguel Hidalgo bakeries as 'best in the city'

Mauricio Tabe, the mayor of Mexico City's Miguel Hidalgo district, declared that the area boasts "the best bread in the city." He celebrated this culinary distinction while honoring 50 local bakeries recognized for their artistry, gastronomy, and flavor, which he stated delight residents and stimulate the local economy with high-quality products.

The Miguel Hidalgo mayoralty has the best bread in the City.

In collaboration with Culinaria Mexicana magazine and the National Chamber of the Restaurant and Seasoned Food Industry (Canirac CDMX), Tabe launched the inaugural "Guía 2026." This guide highlights 50 bakeries within the district. "Sorrows are lessened with bread," Tabe remarked, acknowledging the exceptional chefs and bakers in Miguel Hidalgo. He emphasized that this guide serves to showcase the area's talent and rich offerings, aiming to make Miguel Hidalgo the go-to destination for delicious bread.

“

Sorrows are lessened with bread... I recognize that Miguel Hidalgo has the best chefs and the best bakers in Mexico City, it has the best bakeries and an effort had not been made to show off what we have and all the talent that is presented here in this guide of the 50 best bakeries.

Speaking at the Ángela Peralta Theater, Mayor Tabe expressed his satisfaction that this project, which he called a "dream come true," also functions as a significant boost for local businesses in Miguel Hidalgo. "We want more bakeries to join, for this to be the start of a project to show the best we have, to boast about the best we have," he said. He stressed that the government's role is to support and project the work of local entrepreneurs, enabling them to operate under the best possible conditions.

“

And that the best bread in Mexico City is here, and that it becomes the capital of the best bread, the Capital of bread, of well-made bread, with flavor and with all the quality that characterizes these bakeries.

Claudio Poblete, director of Culinaria Mexicana, shared that his team spent a year and a half researching and visiting the 50 recognized bakeries. The goal of the "Guía Miguel Hidalgo" project was to present the district's gastronomic wealth to Mexico and the world. Poblete noted that the editorial project began with extensive research, aiming to capture the stories behind each business and highlight the culinary richness of the area.

“

I am very happy that this dream of the 50 best bakeries is coming true and what we want is for more bakeries to keep joining, for this to be the beginning of a project to show the best we have, to boast about the best we have, and it is not what the government does, but what our neighbors do, what our entrepreneurs do. And we are a government that does believe in promoting work and that we do believe in promoting and projecting our entrepreneurs, in supporting them so that they continue doing their work in the best conditions.
