Chef Indra Carrillo
Born in Mexico City and raised in a family where food took centre stage in their hearts, Chef Carrillo’s culinary journey began at an early age. His parents, both connoisseurs of traditional Mexican cuisine, instilled in him a deep appreciation for the art of cooking and the importance of using the best ingredients.
Indra Carrillo’s path eventually led her to France, where she honed her skills in some of the country’s most prestigious culinary institutions such as: Paul Bocuse’s restaurant à Collonges, Le Meurice, L’Epicure au Bristol, Pascal Barbot’s L’Astrance.
His talent and dedication have caught the attention of the capital’s culinary critics, which has earned him several awards: the “Jeune Talent” Award 2016 and 2018 from the Gault & Millau Guide, Coup de cœur de l’année 2017 from Le Point magazine, to name but a few.

The fusion of cultures in Indra Carrillo ‘s recipes
What sets La Condessa apart is chef Indra Carrillo’s passion for bringing together different culinary worlds: French, Mexican and more. The 8-course menu with paired wines is a veritable feast for the senses, the creations a marriage of classic culinary techniques and bold, vibrant flavours. Each dish that emerges from his kitchen is a work of art that not only stimulates the palate, but also celebrates his cultural heritage and international experience.
We were delighted with the Aganelotti del Plin, served with fresh roasted corn, cumaru and a spicy aromatic broth, and the excellent lamb: marinated in black pepper leaves with horseradish and white carrots, served with an excellent thick lamb sauce.
A memorable culinary experience
Dining at La Condesa is much more than a meal; it’s an unforgettable experience that transcends cultural boundaries. Chef Indra Carrillo’s artistic approach to cooking and her passion for bringing diverse flavours together.
