Carne-Vino, open seven days a week.
We are just crazy about CarneVino. It’s a wonderful, upscale shop with a great selection of high quality wines and liquor, AND high quality frozen steaks, shrimp, salmon, crab and tuna steaks. They also carry a variety of specialty cheeses, dips, crackers, and even cigars – everything you need for a sophisticated party. They are San Miguel’s exclusive distributor of Rancho 17 meats – the best in Mexico. They are also the exclusive distributor of several really nice wines. They are located at Ancha de San Antonio #22 (by the Instituto Allende), about a 5 minute walk from both Casa GGG. They will be happy to deliver your purchases so you don’t have to carry them home (they are very familiar with the location of Casa GGG!).A very wide variety of wines, import and domestic, spirits, imported European cheeses and processed meats, high-end steaks, pastas and a wide variety items foodies go gah-gah for.

I was also going to do a review on this restaurant, Carne y Vino, on Ancha de San Antonio next door to the Instituto. I am a vegetarian and they have several dishes I can eat. I might add that their house red wine is fantastic and inexpensive. I had a salad with “sangria” lettuce and tiny balls of goat cheese and cranberry compote. They served a taste of a mini bean taco in blue corn tortilla that was delicious because they make their own tortillas.They have a chocolate molten warm dessert cake with homemade corn or vanilla ice cream that is out of this world!

So I decided to branch out from my 6-8 favorite restaurants to see what else could be available here in San Miguel.
I made a list of what restaurants I haven’t tried and decided to explore. And then I was walking down de Ancha and I passed a place that I had barely noticed and had heard nothing about: CarneVino. I decided to step in to take a look at the menu… not just meat as I had thought but salmon and octopus and salads and … and on it went…
I went home to look it up on Yelp and was intrigued to see so many superb reviews. I was surprised to see when I check Civil List, the only thing that came up was “Best Wine Store” as they do have a store in front and one mention of the restaurant. Apparently it has been open ?8+ months and I had missed it.
Tonight five of us decided to give it a try. What an amazingly good choice that was! One of the absolute best meals I have had here in San Miguel.
First was the assortment of condiments brought to the table, two types of salt, salsas, etc… We started with the whole head of cauliflower, roasted with three different dipping side sauces… and roasted artichokes…. all delicious… most of us had the chilean salmon that was cooked to perfection and came with a fresh side salad and a large plate of roasted vegetables (eggplant, carrots, beets, zucchini) and all melted in your mouth… we were told the steaks our neighbors had were a+ and the octopus tacos looked great. A vegetarian definitely could make this place work, with the grilled asparagus and potatoes. All of this was in a large beautiful space with a three piece live band, ha!
I know a meal at a place can be awesome one time and perhaps not the next. Yet all of us agreed we could now have a new favorite restaurant. And the two for one happy hour (at 7 pm on a Friday night) glasses of wine certainly didn’t hurt.
cheers,
