Top choice in San Miguel de Allende

LoginSave

This courtyard restaurant inside a boutique hotel is perhaps the best spot in town for fine dining. The chef here has been given the freedom to do whatever he wants and a regularly changing menu featuring the likes of duck, pork and seafood dishes, prepared with San Miguelense ingredients, is the result. Farm-to-table cuisine has never looked so glamorous.

The Chef's Table – a multicourse tasting menu for two to five people – starts at 6:30pm (by reservation). If you want to loosen the purse strings, this is the place to do it.
