We had an amazing Christmas Eve away from home in San Miguel because of Quince1810… from cheese board of Mexican cheeses , to chicken pot pie, fillet mignon on a bed of risotto with red pepper and leeks grilled. Then the dessert sambler of cornbread cake, black forest cake and a merigue of creme angleise and raspberries…. then we all were given roman candle torches to light. A skilled tight rope walker took to the atrium space dancing across it 30” in the air! Wow!!! Feliz Navidad!!!

What a lovely experience. Everything was well done. Good food, attractive setting, outstanding service from Emiliano. The Christmas menu was varied and well prepared. Highly recommended and we will return. It is on the pricey side, especially drinks, but well worth it for a special occasion.

About the restaurant

La terraza en Numu tiene una ubicación ideal para mejorar todavía la experiencia tan apreciada de las terrazas en San Miguel de Allende. Está en Nemesio Diez, a unos pasos del parque Juárez y con excelente perspectiva de casas y torres de iglesias coloniales, especialmente de la Catedral de San Miguel Arcángel. En esta terraza se puede disfrutar sin prisa, de un exquisito menú de desayunos con platos ricos, abundantes e indulgentes, además de opciones saludables. El chiste es despertar sin prisa, comer con calma, y darse el regalo - más raro cada vez - de estar, sin ver el teléfono ni el reloj. Ese es el verdadero lujo, el de tener tiempo para disfrutar, es estar con quien se comparte la terraza.

Luego, por la tarde, es un punto maravilloso para dar la bienvenida al atardecer, que será casi un ritual, por su posición. Será la música que ve caer la tarde, y de ahí, la noche que mantiene este espíritu de no correr, de no tener que demostrar nada, porque simplemente, es.

What a beautiful space to enjoy delicious food. Our party of four enjoyed the Cesar Salad, Cheeseburger, & fish of the day. Every dish was prepared to perfection. Our server was delightful and attentive.

About the restaurant

Chef Vicente Torres is a chef originally from Ibiza, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean and one of the most well-known cuisines in the world, which influenced his cooking. He received his first Michelin star at the restaurant La Sucursal, in the Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM). The concept was developed and executed by Bruce James, who with an eclectic and sophisticated design, managed to create an atmosphere that escapes San Miguel de Allende. The ornamentation, reflections, and geometry play an important role in constructing a timeless environment that refers to the aesthetics of Art Deco, and at the same time, has design touches that place us in the current context and intensify the contrast between the past and present. The eclecticism that characterizes this project can be seen in its cuisine, a mix of a brasserie and a steakhouse. The bar was recovered from an old cantina, which now offers an exquisite selection of whiskeys and classic cocktails.

The food was excellent in our first visit to this restaurant. Recommend the octopus and huichinango. The dishes came out a bit slow considering that the place was not full. Otherwise no complaints.

We had an amazing view at sunset and the service was fantastic. Food was good and steaks came and in very large portions so it’s better to share because if not you’ll have plenty of leftovers.
