About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
By Renowned Mexican Chef, Enrique Olvera, Manta is the culinary centerpiece of The Cape, A Thompson Hotel. With an intriguing double meaning, the manta ray symbolizes the kitchen"s focus on seafood, while manta, the Spanish word for blanket, conveys the chef's emphasis on comfort. Acknowledge by the New York Times for his "way of confirming and subverting expectations of Mexican food at the same time," Olvera has drawn inspiration from the izakaya tradition to introduce a pan-Pacific concept of Mexican cuisine. The intimate, richly textured space features a dramatic exhibition kitchen and a curated beverage menu focused on mezcals, tequilas and sakes.

    Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We ordered the tasting menu plus fish taco and split everything between 2 of us. Fresh. Light. Impeccable service. Loved the architecture too.

    This is our second time eating here and is our favorite restaurant to dine in Cabo. The food is excellent and the service is outstanding. Neri and Antonio were so helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back!

    Our experience was wonderful. We had a slightly hard time understanding our server (in English, and we’re in Mexico—so that’s on us!) but he did guide us to a great navigation of the menu, including specific dishes that were all outstanding. For those visiting from other resorts / areas of the region, this specific spot is high up and exposed to the wind. It’s near Sunset Mona Lisa restaurant, and has a similar climate situation. Stunning views, and often windy conditions at sunset. So if you want to sit outside, bring an extra layer as you’ll feel colder than you would expect given the temperature. Or sit inside, which is also wonderful given the great interior design. Just be aware in advance so you can request what you want.

    We’ve been there before and this time the appetizers were good but not worth the price. The entrees were very good but ridiculously expensive
