Eccentric. I give 5…read morestars for the food. Wild boar was outstanding. Escargot very good. I did have to send the seared Foie back because it was cold in the center. The dish was amazing though served with apples and a very nice sauce. I tasted my colleague'a three chile tuna and it was good as well. Wine list - almost exclusively French reds, some of which you don't see in Mexico. Weirdly only one or two whites and just one bottle of champagne. Service - 4 stars. Nice and efficient but not well practiced, especially for Mexico. Eccentric - when we tried to order something, they would cross it off the blackboard menu. Why not cross it off before we ordered the item. It happened with confit of duck, with the apple tart and one other dish I don't remember. And for coffee - no french press or brewed coffee just the requisite and common in Mexico pod based espresso machine. Ambience - eccentric. Just weird but ok. For the quality French kitchen and the prices, give it a try!

We were pleasantly surprised by the homey yet elegant look of the place. The staff makes you feel very welcome and are very attentive, some of the best service we've received, rivaled only by very high end restaurants. The menu is written on a chalk board that is rolled over to you. The writing is very hard to read, but unless your familiar with French cuisine, you're better off asking the waiter to run through the menu for you. We had a delicious appetizer called Plato de Charcuterías that consisted of an assortment of fine cheese, bread, salami, and Ham (the European kind). Our entrees were the Burguignon and Filete de Cerdo which were both delicious. The also serve duck and the typical escargo. You must visit.

Everything about our meal was amazing, food high quality and fresh, service impeccable, decor beautiful. I did a lot of research on the best places to eat in the city and oddly this restaurant was not among them!? A chef friend of mine from Los Angeles highly recommended Magno, I'm so glad we went! What we ordered: The beet appetizer, so flavorful! The beef tar tar, fresh and so many flavors and bluefin tuna, every bite melted in my mouth. So fresh so delicate and delicious. The appetizers, culinary genius! Entrees, were just as impressive, the duck gnocchi and rabbit were both so good! We dove in without taking a photo. This restaurant was my favorite in Guadalajara! And we ate at many places. If Magno were in Los Angeles, it would take weeks to get into! It was that good. If I could recommend only one place to eat in Guadalajara it would be here. I can not wait to go back to try more dishes!
