LOS CABOS RECOGNIZED BY THE MICHELIN GUIDE AS A TOP GASTRONOMIC DESTINATION
November 1, 2024
Los Cabos has become a renowned gastronomic destination, thanks to its diverse and innovative culinary offerings, most of which bring together local tradition with international influences, with a heavy emphasis on fresh seafood and local ingredients. Because of this booming gastronomic scene, the Michelin Guide has recognized Los Cabos as one of the world’s premier culinary destinations.
Rodrigo Esponda, director of FITURCA, the Los Cabos Tourism Trust, said, “there are 18 restaurants in the region that appear in the Michelin Guide, with 3 of them meriting a Michelin star, as well as two organic farms serving farm-to-table food. There is a great diversity of restaurants cementing Los Cabos as Mexico’s premier gastronomic destination.”
This recognition highlights the importance of supporting and fostering gastronomic tourism in the state of Baja California Sur. While the recognition is already a great honor, it brings with it the responsibility for the tourism sector to keep working hard to promote Los Cabos as one of Mexico’s culinary capitals, as the restaurant sector is one of the largest sources of new jobs for the state.
