Preserving the essence of its sister venue in the Polanco neighborhood, Bellopuerto Reforma integrates the experience of the Port of Acapulco into its terrace.

Within a space defined by varying ceiling heights, the island bar is introduced as the restaurant’s central, iconic element. The double-height main dining area allows natural light to enter the interior, which is later complemented by track lighting with fixtures suspended at different heights. The warmth of the materials used—woods in varying tones, PVC thread weavings, stone materials, steel, and the brand’s signature colors—contrasts with the solidity of the concrete structure. The dining room is enclosed by a wall of concrete cylinders, into which a wooden rack is integrated, alluding to the workshop of a dockyard. Existing vegetation placed between each wooden structure completes the wall’s composition, creating a focal point for the user.

The entrance is configured as a portico with fully opening glazing, seamlessly integrating exterior and interior to generate a unified atmosphere. The terrace maintains a close relationship with the sidewalk through landscaped porticos, which gradually modulate privacy without turning away from the city, opening outward to become social showcases.
