Remodeled Campestre Restaurant Bar Reopens

Back open after its recent remodel, Campestre Restaurant Bar continues to have that casual ambience loyal patrons have loved for years. The entry door now opens to a room enlarged by the removal of an inner partition; that change created a spacious dining room. A new palapa ceiling trimmed with beautiful tree trunks decorated with vines and shellacked defines the front area, and new wooden windows give a feeling of warmth. A new floor and newly painted walls complete the rebirth of this favorite restaurant. The extremely popular restaurant has some of the very best chilaquiles in Los Cabos.
