Looking for a luxurious place to have dinner? The dining scene in Los Cabos is very varied, from high-class restaurants and Michelin stars to less fancy but exquisite cuisine. San Jose del Cabo is one of the best areas to enjoy food and beverages on holiday and vacations. Cabo San Lucas has more restaurants, but they are generally more popular and commercial. For those who love fine dining, you can find more options in San Jose del Cabo or through the Cabo Touristic Corridor than in Cabo San Lucas.
Flora Farms pioneered the farm-to-table dining scene in San Jose del Cabo and remains a mandatory stop for travelling foodies. The restaurant looks out over a 10-acre organic field at Flora’s, so on diners, you can almost reach out and touch the food you´ll be eating soon. This is fine dining at its most intimate. The food is superb and ranges from gourmet pizzas to earthier meals, like farm-raised pork or homemade pastas. Sunday brunch is particularly popular, although reservations are recommended for any visit to the restaurant. The adjacent Farm Bar serves up fresh fruit juices, wine, craft beer, and cocktails. In addition to the onsite bar, bakery, and organic grocery, the property also includes boutique shops and picturesque culinary cottages.

Acre is a 25-acre piece of farmland situated 7 minutes from the scenic “old town” of San Jose del Cabo. The restaurant is surrounded by a natural palm grove, adjacent to five acres of organic and fresh crops that are used in the restaurant and bar. The dishes have a Baja influence, but are primarily focused on clean, vegetable-forward dishes complemented by local seafood. In most cases, your ingredients are 200 feet away!

While living in Hawaii, Chef Volker was exposed to an array of Pacific Rim cuisine varieties. A blend of Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Malaysian, and Filipino varieties resulted in a cuisine style Chef Volker calls Asian Fusion. What makes the flavour of the Pitahayas dishes unique is the incorporation of European flair and these techniques. Situated overlooking the marvellous Sea of Cortez, the main dining area rests under a magnificent palapa. The air of Pitahayas is filled with exotic and intriguing aromas emerging from the open-concept kitchen. Only the best, fresh regional ingredients are incorporated into the culinary masterpieces of Pitahayas. The restaurant also features an extensive ocean-front terrace, bar lounge, and a private dining room. World-class dining and wines are accompanied by nightly live music and full moon celebrations every night!

Since its opening in 1994, Nick-San has been one of the most popular local sushi restaurants, with Chefs Angel Carbajal and Masayuki Nikura crafting a creative and innovative fusion of Japanese cuisine with traditional Mexican ingredients. This sort of fusion has become quite common among area restaurants, but Nick-San was the first, and remains the best. Sample their extensive menu of rolls, as well as house specialties like tempura oysters, curry yaki, blue fish tuna sashimi, and beef filet serranito. Lobster lovers can choose from a wide selection of delicatessens that includes clear lobster rolls, lobster angel sautéed in mustard sauce, fried lobster curry, and lobster sambal marinated in saki, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic, and bathed in sweet and sour chili sauces. In addition to the Cabo San Lucas location, there is also a restaurant at Las Tiendas de Palmilla (The Shoppes at Palmilla).
LOCATION: Nick-San Las Tiendas de Palmilla, Local 116 San Jose del Cabo, 23400
Although this restaurant was redesigned as part of the ultra-luxury One & Only Palmilla resort's renovation after Hurricane Odile, Agua by Larbi remains as one of the finest restaurants in Los Cabos, distinguished by its superb food, impeccable service, and romantic candle and moonlit views by the Sea of Cortes. Chef Larbi Dahrouch continues to focus on Mexican cuisine with Mediterranean influences, with menus changing seasonally - some dishes are changed daily - to reflect the finest of available ingredients. Many specialties are made tableside, including handmade tortillas, guacamoles, ceviches, and moles. Start at the bar for sunset cocktails!
LOCATION: KM 7.5 Carretera Transpeninsular, San Jose del Cabo, 23400
This is one of the most romantic restaurants you will find anywhere! With tables perched seemingly atop the Sea of Cortes and breathtaking views of Land's End. Pastas and fresh local seafood are the specialties - the place has its fishing boats and will cook up your catch for dinner - but there is also an upstairs bar and pizza lounge, and a newly installed Taittinger Terrace Champagne and Oyster Bar. Considering the magnificence of the setting, it is perhaps not surprising that they offer wedding services. Both the food and the service here are outstanding, but it is the romantic and awe-inspiring atmosphere that makes dinner at Sunset da Mona Lisa such an incredible experience. Reservations are recommended year-round and are essential for sunset dining during the tourist season (Oct. - May).
