Mezquite x Mar y Leña
From Conrad Punta de Mita to Pedregal
A Culinary Takeover by Chef Germán Ghelfi
May 29 & 30, 2026
For two exclusive nights, Mar y Leña becomes the stage for a culinary exchange between destinations. Welcoming Chef Germán Ghelfi, Executive Chef of Conrad Punta de Mita, this takeover brings the essence of one of its most celebrated dining experiences to Pedregal.
Introducing
Mezquite
At the heart of this experience is Mezquite, the signature open-fire restaurant at Conrad Punta de Mita. Framed by ocean views and swaying palms, Mezquite is defined by its use of mezquite wood—where fire and smoke enhance the natural flavors of seafood, meats, and seasonal ingredients.
Blending Mexican and American influences with a contemporary approach, the restaurant offers a refined yet elemental dining experience—one that Chef Ghelfi now brings to Mar y Leña for a limited time.
Mar y Leña: An expression of Baja by Fire
En Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, Mar y Leña celebrates the duality of land and sea through fire-driven cuisine. Rooted in Baja’s ingredients and traditions, the experience invites guests to gather around flame—where technique, storytelling, and connection unfold with every course.
This takeover deepens that narrative, bringing a new perspective while remaining grounded in Pedregal’s essence.
