The Woods Cabo

The Woods Cabo is a steakhouse and sports bar inside Diamante, the private golf and resort community on the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas. It sits above the El Cardonal Golf Shop, looking over the El Cardonal by TGR Design course to the Pacific, and it is open to the public for reservations. The menu runs from hand-cut premium meats and local seafood to sushi, wood-fired pizza and desserts made with regional fruit, with big screens for live games. Diamante is gated, so book ahead on OpenTable; Mexico News Daily reported in April 2024 that visitors use a public entrance with its own security guard, separate from the residents' gate. The restaurant opens Monday to Saturday from 3 pm and Sunday from 2 pm, until 10 pm.

Executive Chef Larbi Dahrouch, who grew up in Morocco and trained in France under Jean-Louis Palladin, came to Los Cabos in 2003 to build the restaurant at One&Only Palmilla that became Agua by Larbi, later ran the kitchen at Acre, and calls his cooking Mexiterranean, a blend of Mexican and Mediterranean flavors. Vegetables and herbs come from a hectare of land within Diamante farmed for the restaurant, fish comes from local fishermen, and the onsite butcher shop also sells steaks and sausages by the kilo. Mexico News Daily reported that the restaurant opened in November 2023 with Tiger Woods behind it, as a Cabo sister to The Woods Jupiter in Florida.

Why The Woods Cabo Stands Out

Tiger Woods and El Cardonal — the restaurant overlooks El Cardonal, the first golf course Tiger Woods designed, which Diamante opened in 2014.

Chef Larbi Dahrouch — cooking in Los Cabos since 2003, known for Agua by Larbi at One&Only Palmilla and for his Mexiterranean style.

Farm, sea and butcher shop — produce from Diamante's own land, fish from local fishermen, and an onsite butcher shop and sushi bar.

A sports bar with a view — big screens, a private dining room for up to 20 guests and patios facing the course and the Pacific; listed on OpenTable's Diners' Choice lists for Cabo San Lucas in September 2026.
