L’arrosoir d’Arthur

Top choice in Cuernavaca


Cuernavaca's coolest nightspot and hangout cafe, this French-owned place in a vintage-hip loft space downtown has good wines, local and imported beers and liqueurs such as Chartreuse or a carajillo with real coffee. On weekends, the chilled, European vibe gets more energetic with live music, theater and poetry events.

The kitchen (until 6pm) provides affordable French snacks – crepes, quiche, roasted Camembert, dips.
