A top restaurant in San Miguel — 'Best New Restaurant in Mexico' by Travel + Leisure, serving seasonal modern Mexican cuisine rooted in local producers in the courtyard of Dos Casas Hotel. Book weeks ahead.
Why It Belongs on the List
Àperi (from the Latin 'to open') is named the finest restaurant in San Miguel de Allende — awarded Best New Restaurant in Mexico and Best Hotel Restaurant by Travel + Leisure México. Opened in 2014 by Italian-Mexican chef Matteo Salas and now led by French-Mexican chef Olivier Deboise, the open-kitchen courtyard restaurant serves a seasonal tasting menu built on relationships with local farmers and producers. The cuisine pushes boundaries while remaining grounded in the region's ingredients. The wine list is excellent; the mezcal selection is serious. Book at least two to three weeks ahead in season.
