In just a few short years, the Bahia Hotel & Beach Club’s on-site restaurant has become the gold standard for Cabo San Lucas dining. Founding chef Laurent Saussy created an international menu that blends Mexican and Mediterranean flavors and builds on the richness of organic, locally sourced ingredients.

Though based in Los Angeles, Saussy continues to make tweaks to the already-stellar menu, introducing dishes like the brand-new kale pizza and a kale and beet salad. And executive chef Rogelio García expertly oversees the preparation of these items and perennial favorites, like the tuna tartare and short rib pizza. Come early for fresh pastries and organic, Oaxacan coffee from Bar Esquina’s coffee shop and bakery. Or, for a special evening, opt for dinner on the open terrace—the chef’s table and expansive marble bar are great spots, too.

Candles flicker, breeze dances its way up from Médano Beach, and live music plays in the background as you enjoy some of the best meals—and cocktails—anywhere.
