The city's most celebrated brasserie — plush velvet, leather banquettes, Australian chef Paul Bentley, locally butchered aged beef, grilled octopus over hummus, and exceptional cocktails. The most glamorous dinner in San Miguel.
Why It Belongs on the List
Bovine Brasserie is led by Australian chef Paul Bentley and occupies a polished space in Centro with plush velvet chairs and leather banquettes. The menu is a brasserie-steakhouse hybrid: locally butchered aged côte de boeuf, steak tartare, grilled octopus over hummus, suckling pig, and creative sides. The cocktail program is excellent — the tequila with raspberry and pineapple is praised. The most glamorous and complete evening dining experience in San Miguel; the setting and service match the food. Book ahead.
