1826 Restaurant - 37700 San Miguel de Allende

We were in San Miguel de Allende for eleven days in mid-December and visited this restaurant at the high-end Rosewood Hotel twice. Our first meal was Sunday brunch. It was not cheap but we spent three hours here eating, enjoying the courtyard garden, watching the food preparation theatre and people watching. The food was amazing. All the quintessential Mexican foods done to a very high standard. An excellent way to treat yourself will visiting SMA. Our second meal was an anniversary celebration and we were joined by two friends who had a number of dietary restriction. The staff and kitchen were very patient and accommodating to our two friends. All of us raved about our meals. Not a cheap meal, but the best during our three weeks holiday in Panama and Mexico. A special mention must be made about our waiter, Carlos who served us at brunch as well as at our anniversary dinner. He obviously enjoys his job and is driven to satisfy his customers. Carlos was a big part in making these meals special for us. Don’t expect a cheap meal here but do expect a positively memorable dining experience.

1826 has superb service but a very limited dinner menu, just a very typical hotel restaurant. If the weather is amenable, I suggest eating outside (afuera) in the restaurant courtyard instead of in the dining room.

Excellent food, excellent service..

Every bite of every dish had was incredible. Swordfish tostadas, red snapper tacos, and warm corn cake. And the service excellent too.

Sadly slow service and the food is overpriced for what you get. There is better places to eat around San Miguel.

The stars are for the service staff who were attentive and pleasant. The egg’s Benedict were poor the eggs over cooked and the hollandaise sauce was cold and when you pay these prices then you can be picky. Should have been better.

We had breakfast, a tequila tasting and just sat by their fire with a glass of wine. The gorgeous surroundings are enough to make me return! The staff are the sweetest, food and drinks were delicious! The tequila tasting was so fun and very informative! This restaurant is a must!!

The food and service is top notch and amazing. The food was perfectly cooked , flavorful and fresh ingredients. The staff was excellent and service A+. The ambience is very nice and relaxing, unhurried. Would highly recommend this restaurant for the food , service and ambience.
