History
The word "Huset" means "house" in Swedish as the meaning that the founders of the restaurant try to express by making the clients feel at home. This restaurant is located in an antique house in Colonia Roma which was transformed into a place surrounded by nature with a modernist style. Walter Meyenberg is de designer of Huset. He is an entrepreneur and designer with several restaurants in Mexico City. The designer had de intention to give the clients something more than only the restaurant and decided to add a bar, a barber shop, a boutique hotel and a Jellyfish Yoga Center with the same concept.

The thing that attracts clients the most is the restaurant which is controlled by its chef Maycoll Calderon. By combining diferent ingredients, the chef Maycoll Calderon presents a concept of “country kitchen” serving fresh food depending on the season cooked over firewood and not gas which gives the food a grill taste.
