Los Cabos as a foodie travel destination is about to take a gigantic new leap forward with a recent recognition by what many consider the top culinary rating agencies in the world.

Michelin Star Dining

The prestigious Michelin Guide has completed its inaugural review of the fine dining scene in Mexico and awarded 157 restaurants across the country coveted Michelin Stars.

Two different types of stars were awarded. They were the traditional Michelin Stars and a special green star designation for culinary excellence with a focus on sustainability.

While the regions of Nuevo Leon, Baja California, Mexico City and Quintana Roo took the bulk of the honors, three restaurants in Baja California Sur received the high distinction.

Cocina de Autor Los Cabos

The only restaurant in Los Cabos receiving a traditional Michelin Star for culinary excellence is Chef Sidney Schutte’s Cocina de Autor Los Cabos inside of the Grand Velas resort.

Guests at the restaurant can enjoy a traditional eight or ten-course dining experience with an optional wine pairing in the “author’s kitchen” at the restaurant.

The menu features items such as Australian Wagyu beef, local Comondú Oyster and Beef Tenderloin. A unique vegetarian menu is also available for diners.

It is only open for dinner from 6pm to 11pm and casual-elegant dress is required.

Flora’s Field Kitchen

Flora’s Field Kitchen at the popular foodie destination Flora Farms in Animas Bajas is about 45 minutes northwest of Los Cabos.

Awarded the Green Michelin Star for excellent cuisine with a focus on sustainability, Chef Guillermo Téllez focuses on a seasonal menu featuring meat raised on the 150-acre ranch.

Their mission is to deliver a culinary experience with food they craft, nurture, and cultivate right on the farm.

Reservations are highly suggested and about to become even more popular at the local foodie hotspot.

Acre

The last Baja California Sur restaurant to be awarded a Green Michelin Star is Acre in Los Cabos.

Farm to table is the mantra for this restaurant receiving the honor for excellence in culinary traditions with a focus on sustainability.

Don’t let the compacted dirt road entry, at times only passable by a four wheel drive vehicle, deter you, this is definitely upscale dining with some of the finest food available in Los Cabos.

The restaurant features a marriage between global influences and local ingredients that evolve with the seasons.

Everything from grilled octopus and kanpachi fish to pork belly pipian and summer risotto is on the menu for those who were lucky enough to score a reservation.

Tips for Travelers

The prestigious Michelin Star program is an internationally recognized award that recognizes the top restaurant experiences in the world.

The honorees are committed to culinary excellence and dining at their restaurants is considered a true foodie dining experience.

The Michelin Guide put Los Cabos on the foodie map this year with the first edition of its popular restaurant guide.

The Los Cabos Tourism Trust has been touting the beach resort hotspot as a travel destination dedicated to gastronomy and more luxurious and sustainable dining experiences.

The granting of traditional and green Michelin Stars to three restaurants in Los Cabos finally confirms this travel focus and will definitely create more excitement among foodies and culinary travelers in visiting Los Cabos for a vacation getaway.

It also further confirms Los Cabos as a true luxury resort beach vacation destination.

Travelers who follow food culture and travel, and are planning a trip to Los Cabos, will now want to make a reservation at these newly crowned restaurants as soon as possible.

The popularity of the Michelin Star designation will definitely increase the popularity of travel to Los Cabos and these restaurants.
