Restaurante Allium

5 Scott Winter - a month ago

This restaurant is in a class above the rest. From the owners / chefs, who operate an open concept kitchen, to the staff that will take the best care of your every need. The mushrooms were fresh and amazing. Totoaba was incredible. Wine selection was good. This has a fresh and welcoming atmosphere with a modern twist.
Thank you!!!.

Super delicious creative dishes in a cute covered outdoor seating area above street level in this shaded lovely neighborhood full of shops, bars, and people watching. We ate a fish centric meal but there were land animal proteins and veggies that looked just as enticing. Soy salts and rice vinegar notes on the ceviche courses and nuanced nutty and mushroom and balsamic sauces on our main course fishes; sustainable farming supply chain. Very friendly and attentive wait staff, very nice wine selección, great bathrooms! Prices very reasonable for such high quality fine food. Best meal in our week visiting and trying too rated eateries.

We had a great time at this restaurant!

The staff was friendly and the service was good! I visited there with a friend from Belgium.It is a good memory in our list of places in Guadalajara.

We got a nice dinner with some traditional Mexican dishes, a bottle of sparkling wine and yummy dessert.

Nice little spot. I try to find decent aguachile wherever I go and its actually hard to find. I tried their's and it was quite delicious. Nice crusty bread for an opener. They served the aguachile on some kind of corn style bread. I didn't like it at all, but that could be just my personal preference. I used the bread instead and it worked nicely. Service was a little slow and there were only a few tables occupied at the time. The waiters could use a lesson in multitasking. I will go back, it was good, a bit pricey but very fresh.

Had dinner at Allium pre-COVID, and I dined there again tonight. Everything was still excellent. I ordered their beef cheeks with portobello mushroom and foie gras, followed by a mamey panna cotta as dessert. Beef cheeks dish was not too heavy. Just the right quantity. Service was friendly as usual. I'll return for sure.

UPDATE (August 2022)
We came back a year later and the owners Adolfo and Maria remembered us! They created a special tasting menu for our visit so we can try many dishes. The quality of ingredients and flavour combos were just amazing. The service was personable and warm. I’ve been to a few fine dining restaurants in the world, and Allium is definitely at the top of the list. I would return again and again not just for the food but for their attentiveness and making us feel like a friend. I would ask them for a tasting menu (it’s not advertised) it truly worth it!

ORIGINAL (August 2021)
Allium was the gastronomical highlight of my trip to Guadalajara. A really cute open air boutique restaurant with great menu and good selection. On our visit they had 241 promotion for wine.

The food uses freshest local seasonal ingredients and were beautifully presented. We were hesitant to try the ant larvae (Mexican caviar) but curiosity got the better of us and we’re glad it did! It was cooked in garlic butter on top of freshly baked brioche. It was savoury and sweet; amazing taste sensation.

Unfortunately our meal got cut short due to heavy storms and they lost electricity. We were gutted and went back the next day as we really wanted to try their duck breast and Ox tongue. Unfortunately their electricity was still out ???? Adolfo was so apologetic and gave us a bottle of tequila. We were so touched by his king gesture. Which restaurant does that?! We’ll definitely have to do another trip to Allium to complete our meal.
