San Miguel de Allende


A guitarist strums away during superpopular breakfasts – get there at opening time or be prepared to queue – at this lovely place where killer coffee, superb egg dishes and delicious cazuela (clay cooking pot) dishes are served. The charming premises are divided into two: one high-ceilinged dining room and one garden courtyard.
