FAQ

Of course, that’s much of the charm of San Miguel! I remember my time in Paris where I’d visit one vendor for cheese, another for bread, another for pastries. San Miguel de Allende offers—even in 2025 as I write this—that same provincial romantic European lifestyle… as Paris or Rome, if you have time to shop like a European, you need never step foot in a supermarket!
One will sell fruits and vegetables, one might be just a pastry store, one makes only tortillas, the butcher specializes only in the finest cuts of fresh meats, you can buy your eggs that came fresh from the hen that morning, baby vegetables & herbs that were picked yesterday, we even have an old-school pharmacy that will custom-make some medical compounds. We have a Dean & DeLuca-style gourmet market called Luna de Queso that carries gourmet cheeses, olives and any food specialty from around the globe, as well as neighborhood vendors that carry dozens of Mexican cheeses or sausages. If you’re a gourmand—or just a lifestyle romantic, like me—San Miguel de Allende offers that lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of.
