This Michelin recommended (2 years in a row) restaurant in San Jose del Cabo is a cosy restaurant with fantastic food. The grilled oysters were amazing and the catch of the day was delicious. What was even better is that they are pet friendly so we got to take my pup who turned 11 out for his birthday.

Lumbre was a fantastic dining experience for the whole family! Located a few minutes walk from the local centre plaza of San Jose Del Cabo, the restaurant is perfectly placed as a dinner option after a day of sightseeing, beach-going or shopping in the artistic district. The aesthetic is very much a contemporary feel with dark tones and metal adornments. The service was very good. The hostesses are well-mannered and kind, and the servers are very knowledgeable about the menu. They were excellent at navigating a nut allergy at the table, explaining what alterations could be made to accommodate but maintain the taste profiles. We really appreciated their attentiveness on this front. The food was absolutely delicious. The complimentary bone marrow butter was artistically presented and really got the gastric juices primed for what was to come! The ash tempura shrimp was bursting with flavour - seriously impressive! Both salad options, heirloom tomato and roasted kale, were great. The kale salad was airy and light, and with the burrata cheese made a great dish. For the entrees, we had the pork belly (great), the roasted chicken (slightly dry but great flavour with the sauce), the steak and octopus (great). Of special mention was the ramen dish, which had seriously great flavour. Personally, I felt the steak in the ramen was better than the standalone steak dish. There were so many sauces to enhance the flavour, you wish you could have more cuts of meat to try each one more than once. We wrapped with the doughnut stuffed with flan and, oh man, this was amazing! Highly, highly recommend to wrap up the meal! Overall, this was a great dining experience with kind people and a wonderful location. Great time!

Our group was disappointed by our main dish, the fish. We enjoyed the octopus, bluefin tuna, beets salad, pork belly tacos. Overall good. Was regretting not ordering the white chocolate cake with porcini and blue cheese... that sounds so interesting but alas I didn’t try it.

loved all the flavors and concepts of the dishes were interesting. I can see why it’s Michelin starred. the creme brulee donut was marvelous, service was excellent, they gave complimentary dishes when our food took longer than expected. you can tell a lot of thought went into each dish and they were meant to tell a story. this is truly a gastronomical experience.

We had a wonderful meal at Lumbre. Starting with the housemade bread with orange blossom butter, all the dishes we've had were executed well with some creative twist of flavors. I was particularly surprised by the sauce of the roasted chicken (not to mention how perfectly it's cooked on the wood stove). The doughnut, just like others mentioned, is definitely something to die for. In general I'll definitely want to come back again. One thing to keep in mind is to be patient for the food since sometimes it could take a while, but it's definitely worth it.

Wow, what a meal. My wife and I spent the evening at Lumbre for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. We opted for the seven course tasting experience with drink pairing and it was excellent. Each dish showcased Mexican culture and cuisine with an elevated and modern perspective. The pairings were interesting and definitely added to the meal. I will be back the next time I am in Cabo.

Amazing food!!! They had a tasting menu option but we ordered our own a la carte items to share. All of the fish was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The bartender is extremely knowledgeable and our drinks were great. The beet salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. Restaurant has a nice but super dim lighting vibe (I enjoyed it, but you do need a flashlight to read the menu!)
