Restaurant in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Mexico
Monterrey's most-awarded table. Book early.
Pangea is San Pedro Garza García's most credentialed restaurant: a Michelin-starred, La Liste-ranked kitchen under Chef Guillermo González Beristain, operating at the $$$ price point where the value case is hard to argue with. Book well ahead — this is a hard reservation — and target a Friday or Saturday dinner if you want the full late-night format the kitchen is built for.
If you are planning a serious dinner in San Pedro Garza García and want to know whether the city's most credentialed restaurant is worth your time and money, the answer is yes — with one condition: book well in advance. Pangea holds a Michelin star (awarded in both 2024 and 2025), appears on La Liste's leading global restaurant rankings with 77 points in 2026, and sits at #226 on Opinionated About Dining's North America ranking for 2025. For a restaurant in Monterrey rather than Mexico City or New York, those credentials are significant. This is the right table for a celebration dinner, a client meal where the setting needs to carry weight, or any occasion where you want the most technically assured kitchen in the region.
Friday and Saturday nights, when service runs until midnight, are the strongest match for guests who want a full evening rather than an early exit. If a late-format dinner matters to you , arrive at 9 PM, let the meal breathe, order well from the wine list , Pangea is one of very few restaurants in San Pedro Garza García designed for that rhythm. Sunday closes at 6 PM, so plan accordingly.
Pangea has been the reference point for fine dining in Monterrey for long enough that its Michelin recognition felt like confirmation rather than discovery. Chef Guillermo González Beristain leads a kitchen working in modern Mexican and contemporary modes , precise technique applied to Mexican ingredients and culinary logic, rather than the kind of pan-global fusion that dates quickly. The La Liste score moved from 76.5 points in 2025 to 77 points in 2026, a modest but directional improvement that suggests the kitchen is refining rather than coasting. That trajectory matters when you are deciding whether a restaurant at the $$$ price point is still performing at its ceiling.
The address , Av. del Roble 660, Valle del Campestre , puts Pangea in one of San Pedro Garza García's most composed neighbourhoods, the kind of setting where the approach to the restaurant is part of the experience. The Google rating of 4.7 across 1,560 reviews is unusually stable for a restaurant of this formality, which typically attracts more polarised scores. It suggests consistent execution rather than a kitchen that peaks on good nights and disappoints on others.
At the $$$ tier, Pangea occupies an interesting position. It is priced below the $$$$ bracket that covers Pujol in Mexico City or Le Chique in Puerto Morelos, yet it carries credentials , a Michelin star, a La Liste placement, a sustained OAD ranking , that comfortably match or exceed many restaurants charging more. If you are comparing price-to-recognition ratio across Mexico's top-tier dining, Pangea is among the stronger cases. The wine program is flagged in available review data as a genuine complement to the food rather than a secondary consideration, which matters if you are building a full dinner around a bottle or a pairing.
For context within Mexico's broader fine-dining tier: Quintonil in Mexico City and Pujol both operate at $$$$ and require booking months out in a city with far more competition for those tables. Pangea is harder to book than most San Pedro Garza García restaurants but easier than those Mexico City institutions. At a lower price point and with a comparable awards profile, it represents strong value if you are already in the Monterrey area. If you are travelling specifically for one meal, that calculus changes , but for anyone based in or passing through the region, this is where to go. You can also explore KOLI Cocina de Origen in Monterrey as a nearby alternative.
The extended Friday and Saturday service to midnight makes Pangea one of the few fine-dining options in San Pedro Garza García that functions as a late-night destination without compromise. Most serious restaurants in the city have wound down by 10 PM; Pangea's kitchen is still operational. This is relevant if you are arriving after a long day, if your group runs on a later schedule, or if you want the room to thin out and the pace to slow before you order dessert. It is not a bar-forward late-night venue , the emphasis stays on the food and wine , but the hours give you room to treat dinner as a full-evening commitment rather than a timed event. For reference, our full San Pedro Garza García restaurants guide covers the broader late-night dining picture in the area.
Booking difficulty is rated hard. Pangea is the most-awarded restaurant in Monterrey and draws both local regulars and visitors from across Mexico. Reservations should be made as early as possible , do not assume availability within a week of your intended date, particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings. The restaurant opens at 1 PM daily, so lunch is an option if dinner availability is exhausted, though the full late-night format only applies to the weekend service. For further dining options nearby, see Cara de Vaca and Vernáculo as alternatives worth considering.
If you are building a broader itinerary around Mexican fine dining, Pangea sits logically alongside destinations like Animalón in Valle de Guadalupe, Alcalde in Guadalajara, and Levadura de Olla in Oaxaca as the country's strongest regional fine-dining cases outside the capital.

Quick reference: Michelin 1 Star (2024, 2025) · La Liste 77pts (2026) · OAD #226 North America (2025) · $$$ · Mon–Sat 1 PM open, Fri–Sat until midnight · Sun closes 6 PM · Booking: reserve well ahead.
Dinner on a Friday or Saturday is the stronger choice if you want the full experience. The kitchen runs until midnight on weekends, giving you time to pace a longer meal without feeling rushed. Lunch opens the same 1 PM slot daily and may be easier to book, which makes it a practical fallback , but the late-night rhythm of a weekend dinner is what distinguishes Pangea from most fine-dining options in the area. Sunday lunch (1–6 PM) is the only Sunday option and closes early, so avoid that slot if you want the room at its leading.
Within San Pedro Garza García, Cara de Vaca and Vernáculo are the most relevant alternatives for a serious dinner. Neither carries Pangea's awards profile, but both offer strong cooking at comparable or lower price points and may be easier to book on short notice. If you are willing to travel to Monterrey proper, KOLI Cocina de Origen is worth the trip for a different approach to regional Mexican cooking.

No specific menu items are confirmed in available data, so specific dish recommendations would be speculative. What is confirmed: the kitchen operates in modern Mexican and contemporary modes under Chef Guillermo González Beristain, and the wine program is noted as a genuine strength. Ask the team for the current menu format when you book , the Michelin and OAD recognition suggests the kitchen is confident enough to have a set tasting structure worth committing to, but verify before you arrive.
This is San Pedro Garza García's most-awarded restaurant, with a Michelin star held across 2024 and 2025 and a La Liste ranking among the leading restaurants globally. At the $$$ price point it is accessible relative to comparably credentialed restaurants in Mexico City, but it is not a casual drop-in. Book as far ahead as possible. Arrive knowing that Friday and Saturday service runs late, which is an advantage if you want time to settle into the meal. Dress expectations are not published, but the formality of the awards profile and neighbourhood suggest smart casual at minimum.
Bar seating specifics are not confirmed in available data. Given the restaurant's format , a Michelin-starred kitchen in a composed Valle del Campestre address , a conventional bar walk-in is not the safe assumption. Contact the restaurant directly to ask about bar seating or counter availability before assuming you can arrive without a reservation. On busy Friday and Saturday nights especially, the room will be operating at capacity.
Yes, at the $$$ tier with a Michelin star and a top-250 OAD North America ranking, the price-to-recognition ratio is strong. You are getting credentials that match or beat many $$$$ restaurants in Mexico City, at a price point that makes the meal financially accessible for a special occasion rather than a major financial commitment. The wine program adds further value if you engage with it. The main risk is a booking that falls on an off night , but a 4.7 Google rating across 1,560 reviews suggests consistency is not a recurring problem here.

A quick look at how Pangea measures up.
Lunch is the smarter booking for most visitors. Pangea opens at 1 pm daily, giving you the full menu without the late-evening competition for tables. Sunday lunch is the only service that ends at 6 pm, so it has a natural time limit if you want a contained experience. Friday and Saturday dinner runs to midnight, which works if you want to extend the evening, but the core Michelin-starred experience is the same across services.
Pangea is the most-credentialed option in San Pedro Garza García by a clear margin, holding a Michelin star and ranked #226 on OAD North America in 2025. If you want a comparable tier of modern Mexican cooking in a different city, Pujol and Quintonil in Mexico City operate at the $$$$ level. Within the $$$ range, Rosetta in Mexico City is the closest stylistic peer. There is no direct local competitor that matches Pangea's current award profile.
Specific menu items are not confirmed in available data for Pangea, and the menu changes with the kitchen's direction under chef Guillermo González Beristain. The safest approach is to let the kitchen guide the meal — at a Michelin-starred, contemporary Mexican restaurant at the $$$ tier, the tasting format is likely the highest-value option. Ask staff at booking what the current format is.
Pangea is the reference restaurant in Monterrey and draws both local regulars and visitors from across Mexico, so booking difficulty is high — reserve well in advance. It operates under chef Guillermo González Beristain and holds a Michelin star (2024 and 2025) alongside a La Liste score of 77 points in 2026. The address is Av. del Roble 660, Valle del Campestre, San Pedro Garza García. Arrive with a reservation confirmed; walk-in availability is not reliable.
Bar seating specifics are not confirmed in available venue data. Given Pangea's booking difficulty and its status as Monterrey's leading fine-dining address, it is unlikely that bar seats offer a consistent walk-in option. check the venue's official channels before arriving without a reservation.
At $$$, Pangea sits below the $$$$ pricing of Pujol or Le Chique while carrying comparable award credentials: a Michelin star in both 2024 and 2025, #226 on OAD North America in 2025, and 77 points on La Liste in 2026. For a serious dinner in San Pedro Garza García, there is no stronger-credentialed option at this price tier. If you are already in Monterrey and want one high-end meal, the value case is clear.
