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.

    Second time here and by far the best food in Cabo. Obsessed with the blue fin. Cant go around with any of the food. Love the parking lot and going there on Thursday night during the art walk.

    The food was creative, and most things we ordered were delicious. (The crudo was a little bland.) The space is gorgeous, and the service was very nice but a little slow.

    We were super excited to try this restaurant after reading about it on Trip Advisor. The presentation of the various dishes (set menu) was artistic and interesting. Everything was building up to the main course which ended up just being OK. My wife and I both had NY steak carne asada style and I candidly can make it better at home. So up until that point, all was good, and then we were underwhelmed. Bottom line, worth exploring, but didn’t quite live up to the hype.

    The staff were all attentive and knowledgeable. The food was creative and delicious. My husband and I did the 6 course tasting menu and were super impressed. Each course was well thought out and packed with flavor.

    Excelente servicio y atención, el lugar es agradable y las bebidas son muy ricas, el postre de elote está riquísimo. Sin embargo, los platillos que ordenamos nos parecieron simples.

    It was ok. I was expecting more since it was a Michelin Rated. The food was nothing impressive. The best thing was the desert. Service was really good and the cocktails were amazing

    The food and flavor mix was amazing! The vibe was great. The only downside was the time between order and entre which was pretty long.
