San Angel Inn

San Angel Inn is a restaurant in a stone building in the San Angel neighborhood featuring interior courtyards, gardens, and fountains that blend different periods of Mexican architecture. The structure spreads across several connected buildings with original stone walls and wooden beams that form different dining areas.

The building was constructed in 1616 as a Carmelite monastery and later served as a residence and administrative center before converting to a restaurant in the 1960s. This transformation preserved the religious architectural elements while making the historic structure accessible to visitors.

Dining rooms display Mexican artworks and traditional colonial furniture that fill the space with historical character. Regional dishes are prepared using time-honored methods that invite discovery of authentic flavors.

The restaurant operates Tuesday through Sunday with dining rooms spread across different sections of the complex, while separate areas accommodate private events and outdoor seating. The connection of multiple buildings makes exploring the place part of the experience, with unexpected corners and quiet spots throughout.

The interior connects different time periods in its design, with fountains and gardens between the stone buildings creating distinctive quiet zones. This blend of religious heritage and contemporary use makes the place special for visitors who want to experience history while dining.
