This a terrific place to come to. The food was delicious. Probably would not recommend the rib eye steak only because I am from Texas … but all the other orders- ribs and flank steak, cocktails, asparagus salad, and ceviche were delicious !!!! Mexican red Wine was great. The view and service was an added benefit- Pablo was great!! Would definitely come back. Thank you. Oh also the restaurant closes early on Sunday evenings. - 9 pm. So get there a bit early to enjoy a great night.

Came to San Miguel de Allende for vacation, and we decided to have dinner at Quince Rooftop. We had drinks that were so good, then we had our food that was amazingly good. Then we ordered more drinks and lastly we ordered a French toast dessert! It was so delicious best French toast ever! Definitely recommended! Everyone was so nice. They have heaters, they also offer you blankets. They also had a guy playing a violin and another guy doing a show. And of course you cant forget the view to the basilica. 100 out of 10👍🏼

Wonderful views and awesome service and food. Must go up stairs to get to the rooftop as there is no elevator so it is not handicap accessible to eat rooftop. But the view is incredible!

About the restaurant

La terraza en Numu tiene una ubicación ideal para mejorar todavía la experiencia tan apreciada de las terrazas en San Miguel de Allende. Está en Nemesio Diez, a unos pasos del parque Juárez y con excelente perspectiva de casas y torres de iglesias coloniales, especialmente de la Catedral de San Miguel Arcángel. En esta terraza se puede disfrutar sin prisa, de un exquisito menú de desayunos con platos ricos, abundantes e indulgentes, además de opciones saludables. El chiste es despertar sin prisa, comer con calma, y darse el regalo - más raro cada vez - de estar, sin ver el teléfono ni el reloj. Ese es el verdadero lujo, el de tener tiempo para disfrutar, es estar con quien se comparte la terraza.

Luego, por la tarde, es un punto maravilloso para dar la bienvenida al atardecer, que será casi un ritual, por su posición. Será la música que ve caer la tarde, y de ahí, la noche que mantiene este espíritu de no correr, de no tener que demostrar nada, porque simplemente, es.

San Miguel de Allende

About the restaurant

Chef Vicente Torres is a chef originally from Ibiza, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean and one of the most well-known cuisines in the world, which influenced his cooking. He received his first Michelin star at the restaurant La Sucursal, in the Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM). The concept was developed and executed by Bruce James, who with an eclectic and sophisticated design, managed to create an atmosphere that escapes San Miguel de Allende. The ornamentation, reflections, and geometry play an important role in constructing a timeless environment that refers to the aesthetics of Art Deco, and at the same time, has design touches that place us in the current context and intensify the contrast between the past and present. The eclecticism that characterizes this project can be seen in its cuisine, a mix of a brasserie and a steakhouse. The bar was recovered from an old cantina, which now offers an exquisite selection of whiskeys and classic cocktails.
