Experience the exquisite fusion of flavors and ambiance at Luna Rooftop.

Zibu Allende has a fascinating history, from the encounter between Asia and Mexico through the Manila Galleon, a ship loaded with great treasures such as silks, porcini, jewels and the precious spices that have enhanced the cuisine of Mexico and the world. Zibu Allende preserves this history and takes it one step further by creating a gastronomic concept: Mex-Tai cuisine, which fuses Thai food with Mexican haute cuisine to create a unique menu, and thus, pay tribute to those who contributed to this exchange of flavors.

From a casual comida with friends overlooking la Parroquia to late-night sushi and dancing to the beat of the resident DJ, guests of Quince may come for a meal but they stay and ultimately return for the experience.

La Única San Miguel de Allende is an upscale bar and grill, where you can indulge in regional Mexican cuisine mixed with lovely views. This rooftop bar and restaurant has both an indoor dining room and a beautiful second floor al-fresco terrace, partially covered with a pergola of flowers and ivy. And while the terrace does not offer the most panoramic vistas in town, the close-up views of the historic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel and other historic buildings are really cool.

A classic view of San Miguel is from El Mirador. Come sunset, the viewpoint comes alive with visitors watching the city get draped in bright colors. You can take a taxi up and consider strolling back down into town afterward.

Throughout San Miguel, you’ll find so many wonderful shops to dive into. Just by going on a walk through the neighborhoods, you’ll find gems tucked away. Mixta for vintage clothing, Laura Kirar Shop inside Meson Hidalgo for colorful prints/home decor, La Calaca for antiques/folk art, Arte Zapoteco for all textiles (bought a lot here), Dôce 18 Concept House for high-end fashion/home, Mercado Collective for the best-curated store, and Roma Quince for incredible textiles and pottery.

Alejandra Armendáriz, or better known as "La Suki", is a fan of hats and has always worn them for as long as she can remember. In 2020, she started her most exciting venture--Suki Palomina, a Mexican hat atelier.
She has always been a hat lover and worked with big brands; Stetson, Resistol, Charlie One Horse, and her favorite hat place; Shortys Cawboy Hattery, which allowed her to learn and understand the materials, the shapes, and all the little things that would benefit the feel and fit of a hat. Now she designs the hats herself, including the patented Suki crown, a best seller, but can also customize your dream hat with different materials and techniques for those lucky enough to secure a private appointment. La Suki is on a mission to merge Mexican hat design, local materials, and a handmade approach to celebrate hats in a modern and more urban way.

Sunsets and sunrises at San Miguel de Allende are experiences you cannot miss. The early morning sky, its pink, orange, and blue tones will make you fall in love all over again with this colonial town. And the ultimate way to truly admire this beauty is from the sky, so get ready to hop on a hot air balloon in the early hours and fly across San Miguel de Allende, admiring the magnificent landscapes.

The rosy-pink 17th-century church has spires that reach into the sky — La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel is in the backdrop of almost every photo of the city. While you can take in the beauty from the outside, you can also visit inside when there is no mass happening.
