San Miguel's Cumpanio makes its first incursion into Querétaro, broadening the brand that will surely see more outposts in this city and the country in the near future. The French-and-Mediterranean inspired restaurant, who also owns Panio, a French-inspired bakery, is now looking to share its pastries and food with a wider audience, and so far the public has responded.
Although the dining area is small, people flock to the cozy restaurant for the food and the pastries but mostly the pastries. The interior is a beautiful modernist design, contrasted by the rustic French pastries that make their way from the baking area to the dining room. Dinner is also quaint and flavorful and and a good option for a quiet glass of wine.
Even though breakfast has a sweet start, the food might still be a bit behind of the quality of pastries. The menu offers a nice variety of options, but the dishes might suffer from being too simple and minimalist with not a lot of flavor bursting through the small-ish portions. The place is still packed, though, maybe because of the newness or the coziness, but it is looking more and more like a place where the socialite femmes gather for breakfast and gossip.
Querétaro welcomes another option for breakfast and pastries and another go to spot for sweets in this remote part of town. read more
