The wife of one of Querétaro's historic characters, the Marqués de la Villa del Villar del Águila, once called this architectonic beauty home, quickly becoming an icon since its inception in the 17th century, and now known for being one of the most beautiful hotels in the city, but also for its elegant dining room that has come to be known as the Comedor de la Marquesa.
Once known for its churros and hot chocolate that were sold in the evening, which sadly are no more, the restaurant still maintains its air of elegance and prestige bestowed by the characters who have dined here through the centuries. Entering the dining room is like stepping into history; the elegant furniture, paintings, and even the walls speak of another time, when the baroque was at its height in colonial Querétaro.
The food matches the decor in elegance and sophistication. Both breakfast and dinner are served every day, and like the place itself, the food draws from tradition to present something inherently Mexican in a contemporary light. Breakfast offers the never absent Pan Dulce, fresh fruit juice, hot coffee, and an array of delicious omelettes, egg dishes, and other regional favorites such as chilaquiles and enchiladas for a full and satisfying meal. Dinner offers an even more elegant meal, showcasing ingredients and techniques from Mexico in a seasonal menu.
A gem from centuries past, the Comedor is open to hotel guests and non-guests alike. Eating here will certainly make you feel like nobility. read more
