A cliffside seafood restaurant perched above the Pacific at the Waldorf Astoria Pedregal — guests select their entrée market-style from shaved ice: sea bass, red snapper, tuna, lobster.
Why It Belongs on the List
El Farallon is the most spectacular dining setting in Los Cabos — literally carved into the volcanic cliffs at the tip of the Baja Peninsula with the Pacific crashing below. Executive Chef Gustavo Pinet's market concept lets guests walk to the shaved-ice display and choose their fish. The waitstaff then prepare it according to the guest's preference. Come for sunset; linger for the stars. Reservations essential well in advance.
What Stands Out
- Market-style fish selection from shaved ice — spectacular
- Perched on volcanic cliffs above the Pacific
- Executive Chef Gustavo Pinet — Forbes Five-Star kitchen
- Sunset views that rival anywhere in Mexico
