When sushi meets ingredients like fresh truffle and spicy ponzu, you know you’re in for something extraordinary. That’s precisely what Ilios Cabo offers, a restaurant that has taken Japanese cuisine to another level, fusing it with original flavors and impeccable presentation.
Located in the vibrant heart of Cabo San Lucas, Ilios is not only an icon of Mediterranean haute cuisine, but also an unexpected reference for gourmet sushi lovers. Its menu is non-traditional; it is bold, sophisticated and full of contrasts that work in perfect harmony.
Kampachi Roll: a jewel with truffle and spicy ponzu.
This roll is one of the most memorable on the menu. Prepared with slices of Baja kampachi, it is served with a touch of avocado and topped with freshly grated truffle, an ingredient that completely transforms the experience. The spicy ponzu adds a subtle acidity and elegant heat that highlights the flavor of the fish without overshadowing it.
Each bite is a balanced explosion of sea, land and fire: fresh, creamy, aromatic and with a vibrant finish. It is, without a doubt, one of the star dishes for those looking for more than ordinary sushi.
Other must-try items on the menu
Although the Kampachi Roll steals many glances, the rest of the sushi menu at Ilios also surprises for its originality and impeccable technique:
- Yellowfin Tuna Roll: yellowfin tuna with soft crab, yellow lemon, gochujang sauce and crispy tanuki. An intense and refreshing combination.
- Lobster Roll: karaage lobster, avocado, apricot jam and tartar sauce with curry oil. Exotic, sweet and delicious.
- Vegetable Roll: perfect for those looking for vegetarian options without sacrificing flavor, with mamenori, miso tzatziki and fresh mint.
- Wagyu Sashimi: delicate tataki with wasabi gremolata and golden garlic. An umami experience from start to finish.
