Because of the regular influx of wealthy tourists, both foreign and domestic, San Miguel de Allende has an abundance of fine restaurants. I found it difficult to decide which to omit from my itinerary; there were so many tempting options. Since I prefer to explore local cuisine as much as possible, I passed over Peruvian and Italian restaurants, among most other non-Mexican choices. In addition, I wanted to make sure that all the selections had a memorable atmosphere. San Miguel is blessed with too much historic architecture and too many panoramic roof terraces to waste time in banal spaces.
