The Hotel San Cristóbal's Restaurant offers a fusion of classic Mexican cuisine with a Mediterranean,
inspired by the diversity and culinary abundance of Baja California. By exploring All Saints and
surrounding communities, you can see fishermen arriving at the beach in their pangas with their daily
fishing, smelling fragrant basil in the night air, and observing whole truckloads of strawberries, herbs, and
green beans from fields not far from the beach . The menu will focus on this incredible local abundance,
variations of traditional Mexican dishes, and other fresh and simply prepared foods.
The wine programme will focus on winemakers who cultivate sustainably, with emphasis on organic and
biodynamic wines. The selection will cover Western Europe and the United States and include some of
Mexico's exceptional wines. The cocktail menu will include artisanal mezcals, tequilas and classic
cocktails from warm climates

Great food and service in a beautiful setting. Only complaint is that the alcohol pours were small. Had doubles in our cocktails and could barely taste the mezcal and the wine pour was 3 ounces.

We drove two hours to eat while we had made and confirmed a reservation. When we arrived it took 15 minutes for them to tell us the restaurant was closed for a private event. The manager told his staff he called us, lying through his teeth. He then offered us a “discount” on our next visit. I would never go back to Benno.

El lugar es impecable y la mesa que nos tocó tenía una vista espectacular al mar. El servicio fue excelente, nuestro mesero nos recomendó ostiones , lo que incluía una copa de vino. Los ostiones muy frescos , pedimos además la pesca del día al limón, lo cual estaba riquísimo. Muy recomendable y definitivamente volvería.

We visited Benno for my birthday celebration and it was outstanding! I've been to some of the best restaurants in BCS and this was by far the best meal I've ever had in the area. The corn short ribs were so creative and tasty (and vegan), as was the charred salad. My hubby had the mushroom risotto (I tried it - perfection) and I had the catch of the day with green sauce. Every bite was outstanding, the flavors were on point, the service was exquisite, and the ambiance was perfect. We have a new go-to restaurant in BCS for special occasions and when guests are in town. Super highly recommended!

Dear Allison, We sincerely want to thank you for visiting our restaurant. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the service and the food. Your satisfaction is our greatest reward. We would love to see you again and continue to provide you with a memorable experience. We look forward to your next visit! Best regards, Alex.

Benno is not the most convenient restaurant to enjoy, being at the end of a mile or more of dirt roads. I got here in a 2WD vehicle, but I wouldn’t try that in the rain. 4WD recommended in that case However, anyone willing to go down that road will be fully rewarded with imaginative and delicious food delivered by friendly efficient staff in a lovely setting. We scheduled our reservation to coincide with the Pacific sunset, and beachfront Benno is perfectly situated to enjoy that spectacle. We want to thank the entire staff for making our 20th Anniversary even more special. Muchas gracias!

Thank you very much, for choosing our restaurant, that you enjoyed the food, drinks, and the beautiful sunset, we appreciate your kind words, our team will always do our best for our guests. we hope you will be back soon and we can spoil you again. the team is very happy with your comments. Alex.

The views, setting and service were impeccable. The restaurant sure is striving to be something special and some of the food items were excellent but others were a miss. Feels like trying too hard some times to be overly creative. They should get there and focus on the menu items that resonate with the patrons. The octopus was great but the scallop, chorizo gnocchi seemed to fight with all the flavors. The servers were very pleasant and great wine list and ocean views.

We had a wonderful dinner at Benno! Alfonso was so great and lovely as well as the other staff. Alfonso even took a few pictures of us as the beautiful sunset was going down. The food and drinks were all great. The michelin star is well deserved and earned. Looking forward to coming back to Benno and Todos Santos again. Magical and peaceful place!
