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.

About the restaurant

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.

San Miguel de Allende

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.

Lima is undoubtedly my favorite restaurant overall. The food is always on par— fresh and creative. The staff, Alfredo and Noah, and the wee woman who danced by me earlier, are warm and conscious of the experience they’re creating for you. The ambiance has the flair of what I imagine a restaurant of this quality has in Peru. Try everything on the menu— I have almost.

It’s only a 15 minute drive from Centro and a in a beautiful space with the winery. Food was creative, excellent and reasonable for the experience. We will definitely return as it’s excellent for an afternoon excursion.

Selina rooftop is our favorite sunset place. We always take our visitors for the experience. Food is very good and the bar area is especially nice. You do have to navigate quite a few stairs to get there, but it's worth it.
