A
Acrópolis Café
This Greek-owned café with slightly overinflated prices is popular with locals and visitors, more for its location than its meals – light snacks and coffees.

-
Vía Orgánica
This healthy option – a café and vegetable shop – is part of the not-for-profit Mexican organization, Vía Orgánica. The organic produce is grown by local farmers. The café’s menu delights the taste buds; think minestrone soups, salads, and some of the best cakes around. Vía Orgánica also runs permaculture/farming workshops. Follow your nose north along Hidalgo. Veer right onto Calzada de la Aurora, first left into Talavera and first left again.

Casa Valadez
This classic place is a smart choice in every respect and attracts a loyal crowd of well-dressed locals. Given its fine location – it faces both the Jardín and Teatro Juaréz – it’s excellent value. Servings are Mexican (read generous); dishes are a blend of international and Mexican. Especially tasty are the pollo con enchiladas mineros (enchiladas with the ‘lot’) and the beef steak, filete Valadez.

Ik-Etznab
Around 8km from Guanajuato, near the hamlet of Santa Rosa, is where you’ll find this cutting-edge eatery. It serves haute cuisine at its best – the most impressive of colors, flavors and artistic presentation mean everything to its Mexican chefs, who were trained in Europe. This classy spot overlooks the green Sierra de Santa Rosa.

Biznarga
Their friends liked their cooking so much they opened their kitchen to the public. And why not? A not-to-be-missed, slightly rasta experience with graffiti, artworks and memorabilia. The creativity extends to the dishes – excellent salads, homemade pizzas, juices and more. One of the country’s best-value eateries.

Bugambilia
Said to be one of the oldest surviving restaurants in San Miguel. Indeed, it offers a traditional experience in a lovely bougainvillea-filled patio setting. It’s famous for chiles en nogada (stuffed chilies, fried in batter and served with creamy sauce) but receives mixed reviews.

Risi & Bisi
For your touch of Italian – and a good alternative if you need a night off the chiles rellenos (stuffed chilies) – head to this relaxed trattoria for a selection of pasta, pizza and salad dishes. Service isn’t its strong point.

La Mariposa
Unchanged since 1940 (as the photos will testify), this Querétaro institution is more about the quaint atmosphere than the food. Don’t leave without trying the mouthwatering mantecado (vanilla ice cream; M$30).

The Restaurant
Perfect for a treat. The menu of this stylish place is thoroughly international (with occasional Mexican influences), featuring seasonal, organic produce. It’s set within a patio of a colonial building.

El Zopilote Mojado
A stylish and intimate place with rustic wooden decor, overlooking the tranquil Plaza Mexiamora. Classical music, copies of the local newspaper and good coffee make it a pleasurable experience.

Sanborns
A glorious, old-fashioned sala (room) with great meals (especially breakfast and afternoon teas) and views over the plaza. Located within the department store itself.

Buenas Días
In our opinion, the only place for a European-style cappuccino: a good blend, with a creamy finish (not Mexican-style froth), and doesn’t burn your lips off.

El Pegaso
A friendly, colorful and cozy place and a reliable option for meals – an eclectic range of Mexican and international fare. Great breakfasts and cakes.

L
Cafe Monet
A European-style coffee house (think heavy furniture and olde-world, tearoom ambience) which has lots of modern art and even more foreign accents.

Carcassone
Smart and sophisticated with top-notch atmosphere (there’s even a wine-tasting room) in a centrally located converted mansion.

Café de la Aurora
Fittingly creative salads, soups and paninis in a relaxing courtyard setting in the grounds of Fábrica La Aurora.
