You expect the excellent Mexican restaurants, and the Los Cabos dining season has earned plenty of attention for its Japanese and Italian offerings. But in San José del Cabo you also have the opportunity to enjoy a short culinary excursion to France. The French Riviera bistro incorporates French flavors and techniques with a Mexican twist. You will, of course, find an entire case of pastries, including a variety of macaroons, napoleons, crème brûlée, and dessert crepes. But there are also concoctions like a traditional Mexican sope topped with refried beans, mushrooms, béchamel sauce, and a touch of chile. Another is a dish called tiradito, which consists of a fusion of yellowtail tuna sashimi and ceviche. Drop by at teatime and indulge in an ice cream cocktail. Ask for the chef’s dinner special, or a tasting menu can be enjoyed for approximately $30 U.S. per person, and includes appetizer, main course, dessert and a glass of wine.
