About the restaurant

De pronto como amantes de la cocina estamos necesitados de encontrar en nuestra ciudad un lugar acogedor, pequeño, de caras conocidas y cálidas. Un ambiente relajado y fresco, que no sea pretencioso, pero sí inspirador.
Tostévere con una propuesta de cocina ecléctica y ambiciosa, ha ido cumpliendo expectativas altas de comensales exigentes. Algo que puede caracterizar al lugar, es la cocina “honesta”, tal cual la describe Antonio, quien realizó el menú. Porciones y precios correctos. Ticket que no destaca por barato pero que con gusto acabas pagando: productos de calidad, cocina trabajada, servicio de excelencia y calidez.

Fari
A classic trattoria with an italian personality and contemporary touches. A very aesthetic ans welcoming plac where italian food stands out for its honesty in the quality of its ingredients and preparation. It also offers a terrace for enjoying a good cocktail or draft beer. The sophistication of Bocaciega cuisine and the italian talent of Davide Giribaldi bring together this new offering in San Miguel de Allende

The food, service, etc are excellent!!! I would go back again. Due to some night construction near the restaurant there are construction trucks passing by all the time and are extremely noisy. Alan and his team were excellent.

About the restaurant

La cocina mediterránea da un salto de creatividad y sofisticación en San Miguel de Allende. Inspirado principalmente en comida griega y libanesa, Bocaciega ofrece una propuesta arriesgada (ya que combina con cocinas de otras partes del mundo), pero bien lograda. Cocina que no tiene miedo a experimentar ni en sabores ni presentaciones; pero que destaca por su calidad en cada característica del platillo. Lugar armonioso y moderno, en un ambiente cálido y atento.

We had a wonderful dinner at Zumo. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the views of the city from the rooftop were amazing! I wish I could remember the name of our server, who was fantastic. He attended to all of our needs. He was kind and considerate, which made the experience that much more enjoyable. The food was excellent. Our family of six had shrimp tacos as an appetizer (awesome!), and mains of octopus, steaks, a burger, mushroom risotto, and birria ramen. Everyone loved their food, and I would highly recommend this restaurant.

About the restaurant

Zibu Allende emerges from a fascinating past, from the encounter between Asia and Mexico through the Galleon of Manila, a ship loaded with great treasures such as silks, porcelains, jewels and the precious spices that have enhanced the cuisine of Mexico and the world . Zibu Allende rescues this story and takes it one step further by creating a new gastronomic concept: the Mex-Tai cuisine, which fuses Thai cuisine with Mexican haute cuisine to produce a unique menu and this remember and pay tribute to those who contributed to this exchange of flavors. Today you can delight yourself with irresistible delicacies that mix the spicy, the acid, the sweet and the salty, gastronomic sensations that you will love to feel and taste.

Another outstanding experience at Pirules! Greeted by Eduardo with a warm welcome, followed by staff who remembered us from our last visit and tracked our needs discretely, never leaving us wanting anything. The meal was incredible we enjoyed the softshell crab along with a wonderful summer salad. I did request their fries to accompany the salad. Perfect fries, that were crispy and memorial, do try them! They are worth the calories.
