Nov. 19, 2024
Culinary
Baja California is known for beautiful desertscapes and impressive beaches, but it has also become one of the most exciting food-lovers destinations in Mexico. Cabo San Lucas has attracted world-leading chefs and mixologists who have opened high-end restaurants and bars where the bounty of this land is celebrated, placing Los Cabos under the fine-dining spotlight.
Take a glimpse at three of the best restaurants you’ll ever find in Los Cabos, sure to delight your gourmand side. Enjoy!
Pícaro
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Picaro is a display of casual, yet refined menu with a Mediterranean – Mexican twist, using only the high-quality local produce with traditional cooking methods.
The dual themes of wine tasting and farm-to-table cuisine run through their private cava dining room adjacent to the main dining area. The room features a long, wooden dining table that seats up to eight guests. Inside, diners are surrounded by tastefully displayed cases of wine in a temperature-control room. The wines at the cellar are some of the best in Baja and from around the world wine growing regions like California, France and Italy.
This is the kind of place where you could easily spend an entire afternoon or just stop by for a garden-inspired cocktail.
Most dishes have an element of a locally grown wood oven and are very earthy and comforting. The menu is always inventive, “a statement of knowing where your food comes from,” says Chef Christian Ricci, which is why the day’s options are simply a delicacy.
