Food Scene

Amazingly innovative tostadas/mini pizzas with the finest ingredients from fresh fish, to organic salads, to figs, aged cheeses. The sweet potato fries are outstanding. Probably my favorite restaurant in all of San Miguel. Small cozy hole in the wall that you don’t want to miss.

Our favorite place to go for dates, they serve smaller plates, almost like tapas, that are mesmerizing. We strongly recommend the tuna tartar, it's our favorite that we always order. Accompanied by an artisan shot of mezcal, one comes to know San Miguel style bliss.

Really hip and lavish place for the ultimate San Miguel gourmet experience. Situated across the street from the main cathedral, La Parroquia, you can enjoy some of the finest Mexican-Asian-European cuisine on a beautiful terrace with the Parroquia right in front of you. Incredible and surprising dishes that really tickle the taste buds, it leaves you wondering, how did they do that? Very attentive and professional staff and great cocktails. THEY MAKE SUSHI.
