Two Spoons Bistro and Bar is a relatively new restaurant located in the heart of Ajijic on Ocampo #2. Tel. (376) 766-5089.
Their specialty is French Onion Soup which by all accounts is delicious and authentic.

There is a restaurant that everyone has been talking about for breakfast and lunch and recently they opened for dinner.
This is very good news and jolly good timing as we have lost one of our best chefs, Laurent, to South America.
My friend (who had enjoyed an amazing brunch at La Una) and I decided to try it for dinner and we were not disappointed.

This new meat store is being described as a Fine Cuts Boutique. They are located beside Joanna’s German Restaurant on Boulevard Ajijic # 122 in La Floresta. Their phone # is (376) 766-5288 and they are also on Facebook under Sonora’s Meat Ajijic.
We have been buying our meat from Tony’s (beside Superlake) for the almost 18 years we have been here in Ajijic, Lake Chapala. We have always been very happy with meat from Tony’s and have frequently made special orders for special occasions.

Evidently there is a long standing relationship between the Irish and the Mexicans and this following recipe honors that relationship either for Saint Patrick’s Day or any other day of the year.

Unfortunately, we have lost our wonderful French chef, Laurent. Laurent has moved to Argentina to a five star restaurant as the head chef and we are, of course, very pleased for him and his family but very sad for ourselves.
The good news is that Café Adelita is up and running after renovations and is flourishing. Café Adelita is perhaps more casual dining but the food is very good and meticulously prepared by Chef Shea.
The other attraction of Café Adelita is the live music Thursday through Sunday.

We had 13 family members here in Ajijic, Lake Chapala from the US and Canada for our son’s wedding earlier this month.
No one had asked “Is it safe or will we be OK?”. Everyone happily hopped on a plane and came to support the family. Granted it is not terrific weather in Toronto at this time of year but nonetheless…

I had been hearing about this “taco stand” for some time from various sources but admit that I dismissed it out of hand.
When someone tells me about a taco stand next to the Pemex on the libramiento it was not somewhere I had to try.
As some of you know one of our daughters is an amazing cook and when she told me about Lake Taco and how good it was I did have ears for her.

We attended a wedding at La Nueva Posada this past week-end. Everything was absolutely perfect. We had planned on having the wedding in the garden with the guests facing the lake and enjoying a beautiful Mexican sunset with a lovely dinner under the stars.
The weather had different plans for us and it rained up to and during Saturday so everything was moved inside. Michael Eager Jr. transformed the dining room into a spectacular vision of candles and white lights. The tables were adorned with calla lilies and the wedding cake created by Marta Camacho de Eager was the amazing center piece and was lit by beautiful brass candlesticks.
