Quince
Quince is a restaurant on a rooftop terrace in San Miguel de Allende, overlooking the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel and the colonial town center. The terrace has several outdoor areas with wooden tables, some sheltered by umbrellas or retractable covers, and soft lighting once the sun goes down.
San Miguel de Allende grew over the years into a well-known destination for international visitors and local food lovers, which encouraged the opening of restaurants like Quince. The rooftop space came about during a period when the city began welcoming new dining concepts into its colonial building stock.
The name Quince is Spanish for the number fifteen, referring to the address on Calle Recreo. From the terrace, diners can see the towers of the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel directly ahead, making dinner feel like a front-row seat to the city skyline.
The restaurant is close to the central plaza, so it is easy to reach on foot from most hotels in the town center. Booking ahead is a good idea, as terrace seating is limited and fills up quickly in the evening.
The restaurant has opened a second location in Fort Worth, Texas, which is unusual for a venue rooted in a small Mexican colonial town. This shows that the rooftop dining concept with international cooking has found a following well beyond San Miguel de Allende.
