Benno Menu: Breakfast, Dinner, Drinks & Prices

Last updated: October 20, 2026

The Benno menu covers breakfast and dinner at the beachfront restaurant inside Hotel San Cristóbal in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Dinner focuses on locally caught fish, oysters, crudo, vegetables and house-made pasta, while breakfast includes Mexican-style dishes such as chilaquiles and breakfast burritos.

Prices are listed in Mexican pesos (MXN). This guide covers the available breakfast, dinner, drinks and dessert information, along with the prices that could be verified from recent sources.

Because Benno’s menu can change with seasonal ingredients and the day’s catch, the information below should be treated as a recent menu snapshot rather than a permanent price list. Always check the latest menu before visiting.

Note: This article refers specifically to Benno at Hotel San Cristóbal in Todos Santos. It is not related to other restaurants or businesses named Benno or Benno’s.

Benno Menu Overview

Benno is the restaurant at Hotel San Cristóbal near Playa Punta Lobos in Todos Santos. Its cooking combines Mexican flavors with Mediterranean-influenced techniques and focuses heavily on Baja California ingredients. For another perspective on the cuisine, browse our comfort food menu collection.

The menu can generally be divided into four areas:

• Breakfast: Mexican-style morning dishes, including chilaquiles and breakfast burritos, along with other reported breakfast choices.
• Dinner: Seafood, fish, vegetables, salads, pasta and selected poultry or other rotating dishes.
• Drinks: Cocktails featuring mezcal, tequila and other Mexican spirits, plus wine and beer.
• Desserts: A relatively short selection of sweets, with Basque-style cheesecake and churros reported in recent menu information.

The restaurant’s seafood selection is particularly dependent on availability. Local fish and seasonal produce can therefore result in menu changes between visits — and you can explore more restaurant guides on MenuExplore.

If you’re mainly looking for prices, the Benno Menu Prices section below brings together the figures that could be verified. Breakfast pricing is more limited because a complete current à la carte breakfast price list was not independently available.

Benno Menu With Prices

The following table contains prices that could be verified from recent menu listings. All prices are in Mexican pesos (MXN).

The dinner and dessert prices come from a third-party listing of Benno’s menu, while the cocktail and seasonal-experience information was available through OpenTable. Since these sources may represent different menu versions, the prices should be used as a reference rather than a guarantee.

A complete current à la carte breakfast price list could not be independently verified. Rather than estimating prices from older menus, this guide does not assign prices to individual breakfast dishes unless a price could be confirmed.

One documented seasonal experience is the After Hike Breakfast, listed at MX$450 per person when available. It includes coffee, a fresh juice shot, a house pastry and a choice of breakfast burrito or chilaquiles coloraditos.

Dinner is the most extensively documented portion of the menu. It includes seafood-focused starters, vegetables and salads, pasta and rotating main courses.

Dessert choices appear to be relatively limited and can change. A Basque-style dark chocolate cheesecake is one of the better-documented current/recent options.

Benno Breakfast Menu

Benno serves breakfast daily at Hotel San Cristóbal, with a selection that combines Mexican-style dishes with more familiar breakfast choices.

Recent menu information specifically identifies chilaquiles coloraditos and breakfast burritos. Older menu listings and diner reports have also mentioned dishes such as pancakes, French toast, omelettes and huevos rancheros.

Those older dishes should not automatically be considered part of the current menu because Benno changes its offerings.

What to Expect for Breakfast

The available information suggests that the breakfast selection includes:

• Chilaquiles
• Breakfast burritos
• Egg-based dishes
• Fresh juices
• Coffee
• Other seasonal breakfast options

A complete current à la carte price list was not found during research. The MX$450 After Hike Breakfast is a specific seasonal set experience rather than a general price for all breakfast dishes.

Vegetarian-friendly breakfast dishes should also be confirmed with the restaurant because ingredients and preparation can vary.

Benno Dinner Menu

Dinner is where Benno’s Baja and Mediterranean influences are most apparent. The restaurant builds much of the menu around seafood and seasonal produce, so some dishes can change according to availability. For more Mexican dining ideas, browse our comfort food menu collection.

Starters and Seafood

Recent menu information has documented several seafood and vegetable starters, including:

• Crudo Benno, prepared with the catch of the day
• Oysters
• Fish-based preparations
• Grilled fish collars
• Benno hummus
• Roasted corn ribs
• Local cheese preparations

The Crudo Benno was listed at MX$448, while grilled fish collars were listed at MX$380 in the recent third-party menu information used for this guide.

Because seafood availability can change, a particular fish or shellfish preparation may not be available on every visit. For another seafood-focused menu, see The Seafood Shack.

Salads and Vegetable Dishes

Vegetables are also represented on the dinner menu. Reported dishes include salads, arugula-based preparations and roasted vegetables.

The Roasted Corn Ribs, served with macha sauce, aioli and almond powder, were listed at MX$387.

Some salad and vegetable preparations have appeared in third-party menu listings or recent diner reports but were not independently confirmed against a complete current official menu. Their availability should therefore be checked before ordering.

Main Courses

Reported main-course options include:

• Catch of the day
• Grilled shrimp
• Scallop gnocchi
• Roasted chicken
• House-made pasta

The catch of the day is particularly likely to vary because it depends on the seafood available at the time. Some descriptions have mentioned Mexican-inspired preparations, while other sources describe Mediterranean influences.

Rather than assuming an older preparation is still available, ask about the day’s current fish and preparation when you arrive.

Benno Drinks & Cocktail Menu

The Benno drinks selection centers on cocktails made with mezcal, tequila and other Mexican spirits, along with wine and beer.

The hotel has also described its wine selection as including organic and biodynamic producers from Mexico, the United States and Western Europe. For another drinks-focused destination, browse our drinks menu collection.

Specific wine and beer prices were not independently verified for this guide.

Benno Cocktail Prices

Recent OpenTable menu information lists eight special cocktails at MX$360 each.

Reported cocktails include:

• Sol de Oaxaca — mezcal, lime, orange and pineapple
• Verde Desierto — vodka, cucumber, lavender and lime
• Raíz de Agave — mezcal, lime, carrot juice and ginger
• Sombra Roja — sotol, maraschino cherry, raspberry and lime
• Pasión Ahumada — white tequila and grapefruit
• Amores Martini — Mexican gin, Aperol and passion fruit
• Mexican Fire Drill — jalapeño-infused mezcal
• Mexican Old Fashioned

A third-party menu listing has also reported agave spirits in the MX$350–520 range, including sotol, raicilla, bacanora and mezcal.

Drink prices and promotional offers can change, so verify the current price when ordering.

Benno Menu Prices

Benno is positioned as a higher-priced restaurant. OpenTable currently places it in the MXN 500 and over per person category.

The verified/recent figures provide a useful starting point:

How Much Should You Budget at Benno?

A reasonable starting point is to expect MX$500 or more per person, based on OpenTable’s current restaurant price classification.

Your final bill can be higher depending on whether you order starters, a main course, dessert and drinks.

For example, ordering a starter plus an entrée and cocktail will naturally cost more than the restaurant’s basic MX$500+ classification.

Breakfast is more difficult to estimate because a complete current à la carte price list was not available during research.

The MX$450 After Hike Breakfast should not be interpreted as the price of every breakfast at Benno. It is a specific seasonal experience.

Are Benno Menu Prices in Mexican Pesos?

Yes. The prices reported for Benno are listed in Mexican pesos (MXN).

Whether tax or a service charge is included should be confirmed on the current menu or with restaurant staff before ordering.

What Desserts Are on the Benno Menu?

Benno’s dessert selection appears to be smaller than its seafood and main-course sections.

The most clearly documented option is the Basque-style dark chocolate cheesecake, listed at MX$310 in recent menu information. It has been described with maraschino cherry and red wine reduction.

Other desserts reported in menu and restaurant sources include:

• Churros with dulce de leche and chocolate sauce
• Carrot cake
• Seasonal fruit preparations

Because these additional desserts were not all independently confirmed against a complete current official menu, availability and prices should be checked at the restaurant. For more dessert ideas, see our Mochi menu guide.

Vegetarian and Dietary Options at Benno

Benno’s dinner menu has a strong seafood focus, but several vegetable-based dishes may be suitable for vegetarian diners.

Dietary classifications should always be confirmed with the restaurant because sauces, garnishes and preparation methods can change.

Vegetarian Options

Recent menu information includes dishes such as Benno hummus, roasted corn ribs and salads that do not appear to contain meat or fish based on their listed ingredients.

However, a dish that appears vegetarian from its name is not automatically guaranteed to be vegetarian.

For example, diners may want to ask whether:

• Sauces contain meat or seafood stock
• Aioli contains egg
• Cheese or dairy is used
• Bread contains animal-derived ingredients
• A dish can be modified

Vegan Options

OpenTable indicates that vegan options are available at Benno, but a complete current dish-by-dish vegan list could not be independently verified.

For that reason, specific dishes should not be labeled vegan without confirmation.

If you follow a vegan diet, ask about dairy, butter, eggs, cheese, aioli, bread and seafood-based sauces before ordering.

Gluten-Free and Allergies

Third-party restaurant information indicates that gluten-free options may be available.

Anyone with a serious food allergy or celiac disease should speak directly with the restaurant before ordering. Menu ingredients and preparation methods can change, and cross-contact can occur.
