San Miguel Restaurants Reviews

Share Your Secret Restaurant "Finds"

I n San Miguel, restaurants become part of the game. Where'd you eat last night? Where shall we go tomorrow? What place is hot this week? What's new, or cheap, or different?

People love lots of different things about San Miguel. Some spend long days playing golf or bridge, some take classes, some paint or sculpt or make jewelry. Others want to visit every historic church, shop in every little hole-in-the-wall tienda or test out every one of the hot springs. Some people walk miles every day to sightsee, others just want to sit on a sunny bench with a newspaper.

But one thing is true for every visitor to and resident of San Miguel de Allende.

We all gotta eat.

Eating out is one of the great pleasures of a visit to San Miguel. With so many San Miguel restaurants, cafes, bars, buffets, brasseries, and grills to choose from, there's something for everyone. We've covered many of them and we'll cover more, but... I'm just one person, and I have my own biases and tastes. I seldom eat in very fancy or expensive restaurants, in San Miguel or anywhere else. And my favorites may not be yours.

Did I leave out your favorite San Miguel foodie haunt?
