Food Scene

This is one of the fancy places in town. It´s in the Rosewood hotel. The hotel is beautiful and we have enjoyed very nice diners there. Kind of an upscale date night type of place

Owners have had this place for many years and the special are just that, not leftover food. It has a new bar downstairs and is a great place to stop and get the best margarita in town and a small bar bite. The upstairs terrace is wonderful and serves the full menu. Good soups, organic salads and a rooftop bar after 2:00 PM. Easy going, fun, great waiters, and it's been in town for years and years.

New in town and getting pretty good reviews. It has an open air terrace as well as inside and serves steaks and seasonal Mexican specialties. As will all restaurants in the Down Town area, it's best to make reservations at this location. Visit their website and select the San Miguel de Allende option for photos, reviews and menu information.

We like the view from this rooftop of the Paroquia and have had several good meals here. This is on a small street to the side of the church, and it's like a mini restaurant row. As with all restaurant recommendations in the downtown area, we highly recommend making a reservation. Things get packed on the weekends, Trip Advisor reviews are pretty true to nature, and we'd recommend reviewing it for places to eat. Some places are also listed on OpenTable.

Great views and good food in general. The owner, Marco, is delightful and this place always scores high with guests. He has a great wine list and is very passionate about the food and his customers. If it's a nice evening try to get a spot on the top most terrace as the views are to die for.

Set atop the Palomar hotel, it has incredible views and comes recommended by many guests. We recommend visiting their website and using Trip Advisor as a ratings guide. As with all restaurants in the downtown area, reservations are highly recommended.

Outside the busy downtown, Bastardos is a laid back but creative food centric place to eat. It has wonderful vegetarian dishes and the beef tongue is to die for. Daily specials are listed, and you are always in for something creative and fresh. It is a very fun place with very creative cocktails

Closest grocery store to La Chispa. Owned by Walmart, you have everything including the kitchen sink. It's where most of the people in the countryside shop. It can get packed, but it is the closest full grocery store. We do very little shopping here, but wanted to let folks know where the closest store was. Not many imported items but all around stocked with all you need.

Some shopping favorites

There are so many special shops in San Miguel, and the best way to find them is to walk the streets through town. These are just a few of our favorite

This is a lovely, fabulous, high-end grocery store. Same prices on like items sold at La Comer, which is just across the street but offering so much more. It has 3 restaurants and a beautiful café. Amazing organic and specialty foods, it's where I shop most of the time. I love it here. There is a great grab and go fresh prepped food counter and the fish and meat counter is absolutely amazing. You can even but fresh Main lobsters.
