Superior Dining

Los Cabos is widely recognized as a culinary capital that offers fresh, original, high-quality gastronomy. So every meal, no matter how elaborate or simple, becomes a special occasion.

Dining in Los Cabos is a genuine treat. Take, for example, Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa, which has been awarded the prestigious Star Diamond Award, as well as the AAA Four Diamond Award. Talented Chef Antonio de Livier creates a sensation at LaFrida Restaurant with an elegantly innovative approach to Mexican cuisine and intriguing menus, perfectly suited to the stylish ambience.

But LaFrida Restaurant is not alone. The eminent Market Restaurant at One&Only Palmilla has been named a Best International Golf Resort Restaurant. Las Ventanas al Paraíso has made Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List for dining and other amenities. Esperenza-An Auberge Resort has been named the second top hotel in Latin America by Travel + Leisure for, among other features, its five restaurants — one dramatically carved into the bluffs overlooking the Sea of Cortés. The Sheraton Hacienda del MarGolf & Spa Resort is the only property in Los Cabos with two Diamond Award–winning restaurants. And Secrets Marquis Los Cabos is a member of the esteemed Leading Hotels of the World and features four outstanding restaurants. The list goes on and on. But what’s really winning about Los Cabos restaurants is what their celebrated chefs offer beyond the classic dining venue. At Capella Pedregal Resort and Spa, guests can accompany French Culinary Institute graduate Chef Marco Bustamante to local farmers’ markets and meet fishermen with their catch at the pier. Afterwards, they return to the resort’s hacienda-style kitchen to learn how to prepare ceviche while enjoying a delicious breakfast and lunch. One&Only Palmilla takes guests on a cultural journey with famed Chef Larbi Dahrouch to re-create his celebrated Mediterranean cuisine, followed by a fabulous lunch, including wine pairings from the resort’s 700-bottle cellar. Do you love sushi but wouldn’t dare attempt making it on your own? At Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort & Spa, there’s an opportunity to participate in Chef Kata’s sushi-making lessons. Experiencing award-winning restaurants and learning from their distinguished chefs is an exhilarating way to get to know Los Cabos.
