Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Puerto Vallarta!
Puerto Vallarta is a Foodie’s Paradise!
Puerto Vallarta’s cuisine is worth a trip in and of itself. Here, you’ll experience the flavors and creativity rival the international Michelin-star restaurants. So, when you come to enjoy the city, visit one of these favorite top three restaurants. You’ll soon agree that the chefs create culinary masterpieces to delight visitors worldwide.
Tre Piatti
Located in the heart of the downtown area, Tre Piatti is the peerless creation of Chanan Kamen, an Israeli Chef who has worked in the best Italian restaurants in San Francisco, New York, and Miami. Here Natalie Aguirre joins him working her artistry with pastries and bread. Her talents have brought the delightful dishes to new heights. Tre Piatti is one of the best Italian restaurants in the country. Here, you will find exotic seafood dishes like calamari & Alcachofa Crujiente ( calamari with crispy artichoke).
Our favorites include the spaghetti and sausage ragout, the pesto, and gorgonzola. They are out of this world. However, Tre Piatti also has specials like the agnolotti or the duck pappardelle. Finish your meal with the mandarin and vanilla cake topped with pastry cream. The chefs change their menu every week, so be sure to go back on your next visit.
Tintoque
Joel Ornelas is one of the city’s finest chefs. He has worked in Vallarta for five years and heads Tintoque, a nationally recognized restaurant. Here, Ornelas pays careful attention to even the most minor details. The table is perfectly set, and the dishes are tantalizing to the palate. His ever-changing eight-course tasting menu is the most popular among visitors. The view is also quite impressive as the restaurant sits on the Rio Cuale, where all of the Malecon can be observed while sitting in the lush riverside garden. The staff is amiable and well trained. It is the ideal destination for guests wishing to discover the taste and flavor of the new Mexican cuisine.
The Iguana Restaurant
Located in Casa Kimberly, the old home of Elizabeth Taylor and now a small boutique hotel, the Iguana offers an open-air dining experience in the Mediterranean style. Its stunning views of the transfixing coastline and mountainous jungle will mesmerize you as Mariachis play to set the panoramic view to music.
At the Iguana, chef Jesus Suastegui blends traditional Mexican flavors with a modern culinary style. The short ribs in the hibiscus and jalapeno sauce served over sweet potato puree are genuinely delightful.
Cafe Des Artistes
Thierry Blouet has worked in Vallarta for 29 years. He brings Haute French cuisine to this charming garden setting. The restaurant has an extensive and impressive wine list and offers an exceptional dining experience, but best of all, it is only a few blocks away from downtown Puerto Vallarta.
After dinner, you might be up for a trip to a local bar to enjoy some of the exciting mixology created here in Puerto Vallarta, or you may want to head off to one of the fantastic nightclubs.
Are you worried about where you should stay when you want to visit the restaurant scene in Puerto Vallarta? Don’t be. Transportation is readily available in Puerto Vallarta, and your house staff can find you a driver to and from your villa. Even so, you might consider an estate that is closer to the dinner venues of Vallarta. If this is the case, look at Casa Buena Vida.
Stay at Casa Buena Vida
Suppose you intend to enjoy the warm sunshine and the phenomenal beaches while staying close enough to stroll through town a few nights a week and sample Coconut braised shrimp or the tremendous Italian Gorgonzola. In that case, you might want to consider a villa Casa Buena Vida.
It is an estate that hugs the cliff of Conchas Chinas. It was designed to seamlessly blend the open spaces of the outdoors with the indoor luxury of a comfortable and modern home. Casa Buena Vida has an open Mediterranean feel to it. The decor and design make the most of the climate and the radiant views. Terraces on every level give guests a new view of the bay. Mexican design prevails here, but it has a modern twist in every feature. The twenty-foot-high ceiling affords light and airy space with floating walkways and massive sliding glass doors to make the most of the perfection of Puerto Vallarta.
Why stay here? The in-house chef prepares two meals a day. His delectable skills willow you, but Casa Buena Vida is also close enough to town to explore all of the evening culinary delights Vallarta offers.
