The Bahia Hotel’s boutique-style accommodations in the heart of Médano Beach district make it the ideal retreat for surfers wanting to test the Los Cabos waters, as well as for businesspeople and world travelers. Bar Esquina, the chic on-site restaurant and bar, represents the best of Los Cabos and has built a loyal following among return visitors and local movers and shakers.
The space’s Moroccan style and mystique embolden, while the evocative menu beckons. Dinner highlights include tuna tartar, braised short ribs with beet risotto, and short rib pizza. Walk by the corner spot any given evening, and you’ll see ceiling fans lazily oscillating, sheer draperies billowing out of open arches, and Turkish lanterns providing a romantic glow.
Return in the morning for a cappuccino from the adjacent Bar Esquina Coffee Bar & Take Out, which expertly crafts drinks with organic coffee beans imported directly from Oaxaca and Chiapas, México. Pair your drink with eggs Benedict or green chilaquiles with chicken. The combined effect of the cappuccino and the breeze that dances its way up from nearby Médano Beach is invigorating.
Organic, locally sourced ingredients drive the inventive Bar Esquina menu, and that’s evident in lunch items like the ceviche, spicy pork pizza, and curry lentil soup. For more coffee options and an express breakfast, pop right into Bar Esquina Coffee Bar & Take Out, which has a robust menu with coffee and espresso drinks, freshly baked pastries, and ModuVated Energy smoothies.
