Farm-to-table the new thing in Los Cabos

Farm-to-table restaurants are a big, new thing in Los Cabos, Mexico, as the region begins to realize its agricultural potential.

Here are some must-dine-at farmto-table restaurants in Los Cabos:

Acre—San Jose del Cabo: Launched in 2015, and run by Canadian businessmen Cameron Watt and Stuart McPherson, Acre’s 25-acre property is one of the newest additions to the farm-to-table scene on the peninsula.

Executive chefs Kevin Luzande and Oscar Torres have created a remarkable menu, which features a wide-range of global cuisine with a Baja twist, prepared exclusively with organic fruits and vegetables gathered from the garden and locally sourced meats and seafood.

The sleek and modern design of the venue provides visitors with a welcoming ambience where they can relax and enjoy the serene ecosetting while eating their meal.

Acre also has 12 tree-houses onsite where guests can choose to stay overnight and prolong their magical experience.

Flora’s Farm—San Jose del Cabo: Serving Los Cabos since 1996, Flora’s Farm is a 10-acre organic hot-spot where travellers can achieve the utmost authentic experience of the farm-to-table culture in the region. A one-stop shop for everything fresh and natural, visitors can enjoy delicious seasonal dishes made from ingredients grown right in the backyard, listen to soulful live music, shop the farmers market and brush-up their cooking skills with exclusive cooking classes offered.

Huerto Los Tamarindos— San Jose del Cabo: This treasured piece of farmland occupying 17-acres was originally a sugar cane-growing field until late 2003. Chef Enrique Silva and his business partner Fernando Hernandez have revamped the land and transformed it into a restaurant with an open outdoor kitchen, cooking school and event space.

The seasonally revised menu written on a black chalkboard incorporates traditional recipes and original cooking techniques put in effect by Chef Silva.

Tulip Tree: A group of restaurants in Los Cabos have a British Columbia flavour.

Tadd Chapman is an award-winning celebrity chef and owner of some of the most popular dining areas in Los Cabos.

In 1998, the Vancouver Island chef moved to Los Cabos. Enchanted by the culture, he opened his first restaurant, The Tulip Tree.

Its instant success inspired Chapman to open other locations including Habaneros Gastro Grill, Don Sanchez and The Retro Burger Bar.
