This list ends with what is still our number one favorite. But let’s look at the others we’ve added. Lots of farm to table, a couple of show stopping settings and the food…OMG. Here we go!
Most Romantic Number 10: Flora Farms, a must do
This is the original farm to table in San Jose del Cabo. This has become its own colony with everything from rooms, to cooking classes, to farm tours. But of course, the restaurant. We had brunch here, a meal for which they are well known. With good reason. It is always packed, so make sure you make your reservations early. Flora Farms.
Most Romantic Number 9: Surprising La Revolucion Comedor de Baja California
Smack dab in the middle of this town of San Jose del Cabo, you will find this gem. La Revolucion Comedor de Baja California. It is only open for dinner, but you will have the most delicious food ever. The creation of Chef Benito Molina, trained at the New England Culinary Institute, he met his mentor Maitre Cuisinier de France Michel LeBorgne who sent him to French Brittany to learn seafood in classic Brittany style. He learned well! In addition, I have never had roast chicken anything like this. Plus, the grilled oysters, yum.
Most Romantic Number 8: Agua Restaurant at One & Only Palmilla, elegance galore
Another gorgeous clifftop setting with fresh fresh fresh seafood and produce. The outside seating is a must, but you will be tempted with the bar as well. Agua Restaurant at One & Only Palmilla, Los Cabos.
Most Romantic Number 7: Los Tamarindos, a working farm
This Mexican farm to table escape is tucked into the foothills of San Jose del Cabo. This is a real farm, with cooking classes offered at the top-rated cooking school. Chef Enrique Silva is renowned. Getting there is an adventure as you drive through the dry riverbed and dirt road that you think will never end. The restaurant is located in an old farmhouse dating back to the 19th Century which used to grow sugar cane. The smell of mesquite burning greets you as you walk to your table. You are in for a treat! Los Tamarindos.
Most Romantic Number 6: Acre Restaurant and Bar, a great place to have a wedding
Reputed to be the place Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo tied the knot; now we know why. Acre is both convivial and cosmopolitan, relaxed and refined, a vibrant dining experience at the footholls of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains. It’s actually not one acre, but 25. One of our three favorite farm to table restaurants on this god-foresaken road, this is worth the ride. Acre Resort, San Jose del Cabo.
