We offer quality food with great atmosphere in the heart of San Miguel de Allende!

We like to graze and share different items, so this was the perfect place to us. There was always someone ready to take our order or reorder of food and wine. Very efficient. We shared the steak appetizer on toast, the olives, the pork belly, the olives, the jamon and tomato appetizer, and the grilled octopus. We will definitely return. They take reservations via Facebook messenger, so it is very easy to get in touch.

Gringo hangout with friendly service and tables with umbrellas. I really did not love my breakfast and ate very little of it. Eggs very undercooked. Make sure you ask them to prepare your eggs well done. Breakfast special for 115 pesos includes fruit, juice, coffee and a huge plate of food. Large portions.

My wife, friends and I enjoyed another outstanding Sunday brunch at Rustica. The fresh fruit plate was exceptional along with perfectly prepared fried eggs over easy on top of vegetables, feta cheese and gluten-free toast and coffee. The setting is delightful and Edwardo, the owner is the perfect host spending his time overseeing all dishes, always stopping to hug patrons upon arrival and departure. I do prefer going mid week as we can always find comfortable seating in the courtyard as crowds tend to be smaller.

We've read about Cafe Oso Azul's almost perfect review here on Tripadvisor. So we decided to give it a try for breakfast. The place is a 5-minute walk from our hotel in central San Miguel de Allende. We were not disappointed. We enjoyed the yummy food, the friendly and lovely atmosphere with a lady playing guitar and serenading customers in an outdoor courtyard. The service is impeccable. Highly recommended!

Uno De Los Restaurantes Mas Famosos De San Miguel De Allende. Por Su Unico Estilo Europeo Y Completamente Acogedor Recinto.
Reviewed By bmsinmd
In a city with so many English-speaking people, the menu, replete with laughable translations into English, should have warned us off. It may be a great place for breakfast, but our dinners were pretty awful. Exhibit A: my wife's chicken marsala, which came buried under a WHITE sauce of dubious provenance. Her vegetables were canned or frozen; she hated her dinner. Three of us had salads, which were fine if unremarkable. Exhibit B: our friend ordered a lemon pie, got a lemon cheesecake. My 'homemade' apple pie was not homemade nor pie, but it was made of apple and came with ice cream. Our wines were pretty dreadful, yet in other SMA restos, we were served wonderful wines, even of Mexican origin. The ambience was quirky - our table was built for 5 diners? We couldn't find a table for 4. And despite the name, there is nothing French on the menu, not even a baguette. Service was attentive; they wanted to please. But they kept bringing the wrong plates, committing other bush-league mistakes that required undoing.Of all our dinners out in SMA, this was our only bad one.

For a change of pace, we visited Nectar and had a very English style breakfast with a hippie twist. Gluten free scones, fresh fruit plate and porridge with ginger, chia, seeds and banana...yum. Very friendly and great place to enjoy a lazy morning. The hummingbirds know why they come here, and so did we. The hummingbirds sure know! Thanks for your kind review, we truly believe in updating old classics to fit our contemporary needs but keeping attention to what made them great to begin with. We also have updated / vegan versions of traditional Mexican breakfasts that our grandma would approve. Thanks from all of us at Néctar

My new favourite breakfast spot in San Miguel de Allende providing fantastic food and attentive service. The dishes are fresh and creative and the portions are good. The café has a great rooftop location and has an open kitchen so you can watch the dishes being prepared by the enthusiastic chefs. I would recommend âThe Big Wildâ the âThe Eggletteâ and the scrumptious âCheese Sandwichâ. Unfortunately the service deteriorates during busy periods otherwise I would have given a five star rating.

This restaurant is inside a small hotel but non-residents can dine here. A charming setting with the dining area bordering an inner garden. For dinner we had guacamole for starters and it was a huge serving unlike what we would get here in Toronto. Enough to last you through you meal and they kept topping up the nachos. My husband and I had roasted chicken coated with a pumpkin seed and amaranth crust - absolutely delicious and the vegetables were grilled perfectly. Sadly we were too full to try dessert. A charming little restaurant, service is good.Dear Lyn P:Thank yo for taking time to review our Restaurante del Parque and delighted to read that you had a good dining experience and that the service met your expectations. The chicken is pretty good isn´t it? Come back soon!
