How do you start your morning off right? With a life-size hug from Eduardo Pérez Calvo of Rustica, one of the best breakfast restaurants in San Miguel de Allende. It’s amazing what a latte, some really healthy food and a hug can do, all before 9 AM.
Eduardo Pérez Calvo debuted as a restaurant owner five years ago. Eduardo worked for his uncles, Jose Maria Calvo (Chema) and Jesus Manuel Calvo (Chus), at La Azotea (Umaran #6) and Atrio (Cuna de Allende #3). His uncles have been in the restaurant business since they opened their first bar in Spain when they were just fifteen years old so you might say it’s in his blood. Eduardo also did a stint in 2013 at the spectacular Burtown House, an early Georgian villa, café and garden in Athy, County Kildare, Ireland. Also with a long line of restaurant owners, chefs and bakers in her family as well, Selva Lampreabe Rosenfeld's culinary inheritance shines as well. Looking back on the past 5 years, we’re not certain what we ever did without Rustica; having eaten breakfast there more times than we can remember.
Rustica has always been a second home to us, offering really great food and an ambiance that makes you feel like you’re part of the big, happy family that Eduardo calls his own. When you go there next time, congratulate Eduardo and Selva who be parents for the first time in late March or early April.
Here’s a look at just some of the remarkable items on their menu, all prepared and served with healthy ingredients and loads of love. It’s no wonder that for five years now, it’s been one of the top, breakfast spots in the city. And don’t forget to get that gigantic hug on your way out too; it’s Eduardo’s signature dish.
