Yes, that Michelin Guide. And now, Los Cabos has carved out a spot on that exclusive map with a seriously impressive lineup of restaurants earning Michelin stars and Bib Gourmand honors for 2025. Whether you’re a fine‑dining connoisseur or just want a memorable dinner with a view, this is your go‑to list.
We at The Cabo Sun are always here to make your trip smoother, tastier, and more unforgettable—and if you’re hungry in Cabo, this list is the ultimate cheat sheet with everything you need to book the meal of a lifetime.
Why Michelin Status Matters—And Why Cabo’s on Fire Right Now
In foodie circles, getting a Michelin star is like winning an Oscar. It’s the highest recognition for restaurants delivering outstanding cuisine and unforgettable experiences. One star means “a very good restaurant,” two stars signals “worth a detour,” and three stars? That’s “worth a special journey.”
Michelin also awards Bib Gourmand distinctions to restaurants that offer amazing food at great value—which means you don’t have to break the bank for a mouthwatering meal.
So, why Los Cabos? Simple: the region’s vibrant blend of local seafood, farm‑fresh produce, bold Mexican flavors, and world‑class hospitality makes it a natural fit.
Add in stunning beachside views, luxe resort settings, and top-tier chefs (some with international cred), and it’s no wonder Michelin took notice. Our recent article here dives deeper into star-level experiences.
Whether you’re here for a honeymoon, a girls’ getaway, or just to soak in the sun and surf, these restaurants are going to elevate your Cabo trip in the best way possible.
