La Galería Café

Top choice in Monterrey


Popular with a young and affluent crowd, this hip and contemporary restaurant-bar is a very popular pre-clubbing dinner and cocktail spot. It serves superb pasta (choose from 11 classic sauces) and rightly popular pizzettas (mini pizzas), with electronic mixes in the background. On weekend nights the groovy upstairs terrace comes into its own for nightscape gazing and cocktail sipping.
