I by no means thought I’d encounter a restaurant expertise that felt fairly like Nobu.
From the high-quality components to the beautiful flavors to the top-notch service and the attractive ambiance each single time with out fail, Nobu has mastered the idea of informal but elevated eating throughout the globe. These eating places are scorching spots in each metropolis that’s blessed with their presence, and not too long ago I had the pleasure of eating on the Nobu in Los Cabos, a part of the Nobu Resort Los Cabos.
My dinner was, in true Nobu style, good in each approach.
However the subsequent night time, I made a decision to check out the brand new child on the block – Nobu Resort Los Cabos’ new rooftop eating idea, Muna. And what came about inside that restaurant nonetheless has me in awe.
The phrase muna is Arabic for “needs,” and the minute you step into this new Nobu Resort restaurant, your muna is their command. Positioned contained in the resort’s new Nobu Residences, this Mediterranean-inspired restaurant could have dethroned Nobu for my prime spot.
The Vibes
Although Muna boasts a special ambiance than that of the basic Nobu Restaurant, it maintains that very same informal feeling, in its personal distinctive approach. Actually, Muna feels much more informal than Nobu. That’s possible thanks partly to its neighboring rooftop dangle, M Bar, which entices with its tasty cocktails and breathtaking sundown views, making it the crown jewel of sundown views of your complete Nobu Los Cabos property.
With its vibrant decor, open kitchen, and rooftop vibes, Muna evokes the sensation of eating within the Mediterranean model of Tulum, transporting diners to a dreamy seaside retreat.
The Service
The ambiance of the restaurant could really feel extra relaxed, however the stage of service at Muna exudes regality. A sense of grandeur envelops you as you’re cared for by the attentive Muna workers. Each element is catered to with the best care, and may something fall in need of your expectations, the crew is swift to treatment it with out hesitation. Throughout my go to to Muna with my associate, who adheres to a strict Keto eating regimen for well being causes, I used to be totally impressed by the extraordinary measures taken by Chef Alberto Saavedra and your complete Muna workers to accommodate his distinctive (and sometimes difficult) dietary necessities.
With meticulous consideration to element, they ensured that each dish that graced our desk was tailor-made to his dietary restrictions.
The Meals
Talking of dishes on the desk, put together to expertise the sensory ecstasy that’s Muna’s delicacies as your thoughts is blown by the flavors that bless your tastebuds right here. Govt Chef Paolo Della Corte has curated a menu that’s nothing in need of perfection with its mix of Mediterranean-meets-the-Pacific.
I belief you possibly can’t go flawed with something on this menu, however one of many highlights that acquired my eating expertise off to an unbelievable begin was the Almond Hummus. It’s topped with a wide range of various things, together with onion ash and contemporary black truffle.

For appetizers, the “Battuta” Australian Wagyu Beef, the Seared King Scallop, Fermented Lemon, Saffron Bearnesa and Spanish Chistorra (served in a good looking shell), and the Confit Duck Mini Gyros with Truffle Tzatziki took the cake.
The principle course menu is split into 4 totally different components, which makes it a lot simpler for many who are on a low-carb eating regimen in addition to those that desire meals from the land over seafood and vice versa: “From the Sea,” “From the Sea With Carbs,” “From the Land,” “From the Land With Carbs.”
Since we had been eating Keto-style, we had the Flash Fried Stone Bass from Greece with “Meunière” Type Sauce and Broccoli Purée together with the Quick Rib Glazed with “Mosto de Uva,” Raisin, Parsnip, and Recent Endive with Jocoque for our mains and I couldn’t have been extra happy. They might not have been my typical order however the flavors on this happy all the pieces I might have wished, and extra.
I extremely suggest giving your self limitless time to benefit from the flavors and the ambiance of Muna (we managed to spend over three hours sitting at our desk as I “oohed” and “aahed” at all the pieces that was positioned earlier than us). Then, pop over to M Bar for a nightcap, a cool night breeze, and a few fabulous music.
Although Nobu is a restaurant I’ll proceed to suggest to anybody and everybody for a really exemplary consuming expertise, for these of you that discover yourselves in Los Cabos, I urge you to go for Muna, an sudden culinary journey that you just don’t wish to miss.
