About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
Lumbre is a tribute to the abundance of Baja Sur. In the kitchen the main component is the product of its land and seas; the most powerful tool is firewood; and global techniques are the perfect complement to enhance its flavor, providing balance and personality. We work with local fishermen, ranchers, and farmer friends to find the best existing products.
NEAT, our Lounge Bar upstairs has the most exciting and cosmopolitan vibe in town for a great night of drinks and chill.The atmosphere separates and transmits a different vibe to the dining area. Chillout and Live Music on Sundays, signature mixology and a special finger food menu to accompany the moment and a pleasant chat.

    Elected to go with the 7-course tasting menu and paired with the cocktails and wine. Simply superb! Everything was delicious and presented perfectly. Wait staff was excellent, ambiance was rustic and charming. An exceptional value, too. Definitely worthy of a return visit.

    Service was great. Cool decor in the restaurant. Loved the open kitchen concept. Drinks were good. The presentations of the food were very creative and extremely appealing to the eye. The execution of flavors is where is felt short. I say this as an extreme foodie who has eaten all over the world. We wanted to like it so badly but we unfortunately would not return based on the food alone. We believe it got recognized by Michelin for presentation not for flavor. The chef is so close; just needs refinement.

    This place is fantastic! Totally created a dish for a vegetarian companion. The sushi appetizer and the shrimp tempura appetizers were awesome. We split the mixed grill-fish done to perfection ; not one second overcooked.

    This is one of the best meals I have experienced and definitely worth the Michelin star! Bone marrow butter is something every human should experience at least once, and my steak was perfectly cooked and between the black garlic sauce, salsa, asparagus with lobster cream, it was a perfect riot of flavor and an incredible plate. My wife had the roast chicken which was incredible and the beet salad and ash tempura shrimp are not to be missed either. Fantastic service and ambiance. Top 10 all time for me.

    Lumbre is in the top 2-3 restaurants in Los Cabos. Excellent food, impeccable service, welcoming environment. If we had one concern, some of the chairs and the bar stools surround the customer but have sharp edges on the arms. Hard on the elbows.

    The service was first rate. The staff was on point. We choose the tasting menu. The fish course had no taste at all. The meat ( wagu) was hard to cut. Overall not a pleasant food experience.
