The Michelin Guide, a significant international gastronomic award, has made its mark in Los Cabos, a testament to the citys culinary prowess.

Behind a dream, there is always a world of stories based on effort, discipline, and hope. This is how the story of one of the most significant international gastronomic awards begins.
At the beginning of the 20th century, two brothers of French origin named Michelin founded a company that made tires for cars and related supplies. The company was named after their last name. At that time, the automobile industry grew prosperously and had great prospects for continued growth.
Thanks to all the trips made due to the access people began to have when they acquired cars, there were more travelers who needed services to eat, sleep, or visit certain attractions.
This is how these brothers created a guide that provided information on hotels, restaurants, roads, maps, instructions on how to change a tire, and all the information they believed necessary so that travelers could have a good experience on their trips. In its first edition, thirty-five thousand copies were printed. In his introduction, André Michelin wrote: "This work appears with the century and will last as long as it does."
For many years, these guides were distributed free of charge until one day, Andre Michelin discovered they were being misused in a workshop.
From that point forward, under the premise that people value what they pay for, new guides were introduced at a price of 7 francs. Gradually, hotels and restaurants began to be categorized. Interest in this type of information grew, prompting the Michelin brothers to assemble a team of anonymous inspectors to visit restaurants and award them stars. This initiative proved to be an invaluable resource for those seeking exceptional dining experiences while exploring things to do in Los Cabos. Whether enjoying fine dining or indulging in unique Best Travel Experiences Los Cabos, this system set the standard for quality recommendations. For travelers or those involved in Property Management in Los Cabos, such guides became a trusted reference for enhancing visitor satisfaction.
Today, the Michelin Guide stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, with chefs worldwide aspiring to be part of this esteemed guide. Its anonymous inspectors, applying the same rigorous standards to all types of restaurants, ensure the guide's unwavering credibility.
The five historical standards that experts use when selecting the winners are:
1- The quality of the ingredients.
2- The harmony of flavors.
3- The mastery of culinary techniques.
4- The voice and personality of the chef are reflected in the kitchen.
5- The regularity between the different visits and the entire menu (each restaurant is inspected several times a year).
