About the restaurant

De pronto como amantes de la cocina estamos necesitados de encontrar en nuestra ciudad un lugar acogedor, pequeño, de caras conocidas y cálidas. Un ambiente relajado y fresco, que no sea pretencioso, pero sí inspirador.
Tostévere con una propuesta de cocina ecléctica y ambiciosa, ha ido cumpliendo expectativas altas de comensales exigentes. Algo que puede caracterizar al lugar, es la cocina “honesta”, tal cual la describe Antonio, quien realizó el menú. Porciones y precios correctos. Ticket que no destaca por barato pero que con gusto acabas pagando: productos de calidad, cocina trabajada, servicio de excelencia y calidez.

San Miguel de Allende

About the restaurant

La cocina mediterránea da un salto de creatividad y sofisticación en San Miguel de Allende. Inspirado principalmente en comida griega y libanesa, Bocaciega ofrece una propuesta arriesgada (ya que combina con cocinas de otras partes del mundo), pero bien lograda. Cocina que no tiene miedo a experimentar ni en sabores ni presentaciones; pero que destaca por su calidad en cada característica del platillo. Lugar armonioso y moderno, en un ambiente cálido y atento.

One of our best meals in San Miguel de Allende. Cocktails were unique as was the food. Artichoke and the kippeh plates are a must! Service was great and interior is lovely Mediterranean vibe.

About the restaurant

Zibu Allende emerges from a fascinating past, from the encounter between Asia and Mexico through the Galleon of Manila, a ship loaded with great treasures such as silks, porcelains, jewels and the precious spices that have enhanced the cuisine of Mexico and the world . Zibu Allende rescues this story and takes it one step further by creating a new gastronomic concept: the Mex-Tai cuisine, which fuses Thai cuisine with Mexican haute cuisine to produce a unique menu and this remember and pay tribute to those who contributed to this exchange of flavors. Today you can delight yourself with irresistible delicacies that mix the spicy, the acid, the sweet and the salty, gastronomic sensations that you will love to feel and taste.

Both the meal and dessert, a caramel ice cream Sunday that tasted unique and exquisite, created a special memory for our first anniversary.

My wife and I had diner at Trasiego for our Anniversary last Saturday. The dinning experience was exceptional from the time we greeted at the reception desk to the time we left the parking lot at the end of the evening. The service and the dinning experience was wonderful.
