Restaurante Villa San José — Restaurant in Michoacán

Restaurant Villa San José in Bella Vista, Morelia, is a luxurious gem tucked within the beautiful Hotel Villa San José. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the serene and elegant atmosphere. Surrounded by lush trees and beautifully landscaped grounds, the setting is both tranquil and upscale.

One of the most charming features is the small, man-made creek that flows alongside the restaurant, separating the indoor dining room from the outdoor patio. We brought our small dog with us and were delighted to see a pet-friendly sign welcoming furry companions in the outdoor seating area.

But what truly took our breath away was the view. Perched atop a hill, the restaurant offers a sweeping, nearly 180-degree panorama of the city of Morelia. It’s absolutely stunning—worth the visit for the view alone.

The food and service, however, made the experience even more exceptional. We started with a delicious appetizer platter that included steak, chorizo, guacamole, and sautéed mushrooms—each bite was rich and flavorful. For our entrées, my companion had a chicken breast stuffed with spinach and covered in a creamy mushroom sauce, while I opted for the salmon in white wine sauce. Both dishes were served with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. The portions were very generous—we couldn’t finish everything and happily brought some home.

The service was top-notch: attentive, professional, and friendly without being overbearing.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting Morelia, I highly recommend Restaurant Villa San José for a fine dining experience with incredible food, excellent service, and some of the best views in the city. We’ll definitely...

Es un lugar muy bonito, con vista a todo Morelia. Es un hotel pero cuenta con restaurante. Nosotros solo fuimos a comer, y respecto a la comida pedimos un desayuno estilo Morelia, que incluye café o chocolate (yo recomiendo el chocolate Morelia estaba muy bueno👌), pan tostado (te dan mantequilla y mermelada para que le pongas), jugo de naranja o fruta (la fruta está fresca y el jugo si se sentía como rebajado, osea que le agregaron agua) y los huevos tarascos (que son dos huevos estrellados con tortilla y jamón cubiertos en una salsa verde que la verdad estaba muy buena👍). El mesero fue muy amable y nos trajo la comida en menos de 5 minutos. También hay estacionamiento y no lo cobran. Vimos que las habitaciones son como casitas individuales y estaban muy bonitas y acogedoras, incluso cuentan con alberca y...

As always, Villa San Jose never disappoints. The food is excellent and the view astounding. And if that's not enough, the servers are very attentive and will make sure your visit there is perfect. I'm planning to come here on a staycation and really enjoy...
