On Sunday as we made our way back from Guadalajara, we stopped in San Pancho, to represent at Lisa Candela’s opening art show at Café del Mar. Lisa’s good friend, Meagan, was showing also. I’m sure the people who patron Café del Mar’s gallery loved Lisa’s work.
Cafe del Mar is a study in how to maximize atmosphere with minimal materials. The place glows with ambiance, yet it’s nothing more then concrete, ironwork and simple wood framing, albeit with an amazing array of creative inspiration thrown in. Not to say that this restaurant is simplistic, it is most surely not. Rather, that it’s an almost perfect example of warm, organic minimalism. As only latin countries can do. You would never see this place in any other country or climate.
If you find yourself in San Pancho, please do stop in to Café del Mar and tell Amandine, I said “Hello”.
