We ate at Don Manuel's several times when we stayed at the Capella Pedregal. The gazpacho was really good, and we also had the seviche salad at least twice. Nice atmosphere and good cocktails.

Don Manuel's at the Capella Pedregal resort in Cabo was wonderful! Ask for Martine, he was the best! They are more than willing to change up the menu for your tastes and any allergies or dislikes you have...

We had six in our party and every one was over the top impressed by this restaurant - yes, it was pricey but the meal was absolutely worth it. The flavor combinations and techniques that they used as well as the visual presentation made for a very special evening. We were catered to from the moment we arrived and throughout... More

Beware. food and service sub par. Great place to come for appetizer and drink at outdoor lounge, but absolutely not worth the trip (except for view if they give you a decent table in an otherwise empty dining room). We enjoyed our cocktails and cheese plate around fire pit overlooking pacific. moved into dining room and that is where the... More

The chef is a genius. The mixture of ingredients and flavors is outstanding. Everything that we had was very, very good. This restaurant is not for those who want quantity, but for those who enjoy the art of culinary wizards. The way the food is presented, you would think the chef prepared it just for you.

Incredible setting and world class cuisine. As some have pointed out this is not for budget travelers. This restaurant on the incredible Capella property is truly exceptional. We had the ceviche and octopus appetizers to share and then the Seafood Stew and Crispy Suckling Pig. Awesome. The Chocolate tasting plate for desert was mind bending.

People for whom price is no object may give this restaurant five stars because they never cook their own meals. Right after our return to the U.S., we thawed a Sam’s Club filet mignon for dinner. It was far superior to Don Manuel's and cost $19/lb. Sorry, DON MANUEL: You are wildly overpriced, difficult to get to, and you gave... More

We enjoyed our dinner and the service was very good, but the atmosphere and the views are what impressed us the most. Very romantic and beautiful property. We will be back to dine here again when we return to Cabo.

Our taxi brought us onto the Pedregal enclave and we entered a tunnel thru the mountain! That alone was enough to bring a smile to our face! We were dropped off at a very nice arrival zone and escorted to the restaurant. The setting is hard to beat, built along the beach amongst the lovely Capella Pedregal resort. It was... More
