Where Fire Becomes the Main Ingredient
Open-fire cuisine in Los Cabos has a name: Craft Open Fire Kitchen. Built around the Open Fire Kitchen concept, every dish is shaped by flame, smoke, and wood-fired cooking techniques that enhance the natural flavors of each ingredient without overpowering them.
The result is a bold culinary experience where premium cuts and fresh seafood are prepared directly over an open flame. More than dinner, it’s a different way of experiencing the grill.
Four Fire Techniques, One Signature Style
What sets Craft apart is its mastery of four distinct fire-cooking methods that define every plate. Direct flame grilling adds naturally smoky notes; dome smoking deepens aromas; wood-fire roasting creates gradual caramelization; and the Josper Grill seals in juices at high temperatures.
Each ingredient is prepared using the technique that best highlights its texture and flavor.
From Grilled Octopus to House-Made Halloumi
The menu celebrates fresh seasonal ingredients. Guest favorites include grilled octopus with salsa macha oil, artichokes with citrus emulsion, basil aioli, and sliced almonds, as well as house-made Halloumi crafted from sheep and goat milk, glazed with honey and chili.
The experience continues with USDA Prime cuts, the catch of the day, and Japanese-style hamachi crudo, all part of a farm-to-table approach that works closely with local fishermen, farmers, and artisans from the region.
A Seven-Course Tasting Menu by the Sea
For a deeper experience, Craft Open Fire Kitchen offers a seven-course tasting menu designed to showcase its signature fire-cooking techniques, progressing from subtle flavors to richer, more intense profiles.
The experience takes place on the open-air rooftop overlooking the sea, where evenings are elevated with fireworks over the beach and a bonfire to close the night. Farm-to-Glass craft cocktails and a curated boutique wine selection complete the pairing experience.
Available by reservation only with limited seating.
