The Daily Restaurant Hunt

On its cover, San Miguel de Allende is an antique and picturesque city, very colonial Mexico, but when you peek inside it is actually very cosmopolitan and is filled with top rate Mexican, as well as international restaurants, many with a flair of fusion. 

Since I normally live with a Mexican family and have eaten most of my meals around their family dining table, eating out this trip has become my daily adventure. I start my morning with a healthy breakfast here at Casa de la Noche, starting with coffee brought back to my room and then a simple, but yummy meal of either oatmeal, eggs or french toast, always with yogurt and fruit. But then the fun begins as I explore the city looking for where I might dine for lunch and then dinner. I'm not going to describe all of my meals, instead I just want to make a list, for my own memories of where and what I ate. Check out the slideshow though if you are interested.

I will say my most favorite dish was La Sopa Printemp, which was an "almost" frozen chilled soup of pureed mango and cucumber. It was like a gazpacho, but smooth with the exception of the ultra thin shavings of frozen mango and the frozen dollop of pureed cucumber in the middle, which almost seemed like a gelato. It was both sweet and salty! Although the photo doesn't do it justice to how good it was, it was amazing and I hope to go back for more. I found it at La Crepe where I also enjoyed their Crepe Colonial, a Mexican version with poblano chile, corn and chicken.
