The best bars and cafés San Miguel De Allende

When you walk past Lavanda, don't be surprised to see a line of coffeeaficionados at all hours. Their selection of coffee, from Chiapas, Oaxaca and Guerrero, is undoubtedly among the best in town. Their menu also offers tasty breakfasts, with delights such as French toast topped with cream cheese, figs and walnuts, or the succulent baked potato casserole with mushrooms, cheese, fried egg and bacon. Our favorite.

When you step through the sturdy wooden doors of this traditional cantina , you're not just entering a restaurant, but also San Miguel's rich past. Founded in 1920, its real transformation came in 1945 under the aegis of an avant-garde couple. Despite conventions forbidding women in these spaces, the intrepid Doña Manuela reigned supreme, offering a distinctive absinthe drink. From the pastor fish taco to the octopus carpaccio, not forgetting the seafood tostadas , each plate is a hymn to the delights of the sea.
