Crafted as an immersive retreat by the esteemed artist and interior design studio, JA!COCO!, Cabo’s interior design is a sensory delight. Upon entering, guests are whisked away to the Pacific Coast amidst a riot of colours and dramatic elements.

The venue is adorned with tropical textures, lush greenery, and striking terracotta tiles, creating Instagram-worthy moments at every corner.

Cabo’s signature aesthetic radiates fun and party vibes, featuring a colour scheme of sunset orange and bold magenta, complemented by quirky wooden chairs and vibrant, custom fabric-covered booths.

The design’s curves and ambient lighting evoke the warm glow of a sunset. A notable highlight is the striking hand-drawn mural, a dreamy homage to El Arco, the iconic arch of Cabo San Lucas, depicted in sea blue and bright white.

Pacific palms and foliage frame the bespoke bar, which also hosts a live sushi-making station, providing diners with an engaging culinary experience.

Cabo’s 70-seat venue offers a dynamic blend of Baja Californian, Japanese, and Mexican cuisines. The menu, ideal for casual sharing, includes delectable ceviche platters, hand-pressed soft shell tacos, and 80-day dry-aged Millers of Speyside Scotch steak.

Already generating excitement among early diners, the menu is set to become a summer favourite.Now open seven days a week from lunch until late, Cabo is located at the former Superico site at 99 Hanover St.

The venue provides an all-day casual dining experience, effortlessly transitioning from a vibrant dining area to a lively late-night bar.
