PV Restaurants

[adeybaby]

My friend who was married in PV and has planned several events there sent along this mini-review for me. Thought I would share it with you, as well:

 

FANCY:

-- Cafe Des Artistes: FABULOUS. A great treat for you and Mike, or possibly you two plus your families. Wonderful - my fave restaurant in PV.

-- Kaiser Maximilian: I would NOT recommend this restaurant. It's written up in all the books, but it's really nothing extraordinary. It's just a regular restaurant with white tablecloths, but the food is not interesting or memorable. Skip it!

 

TRENDY:

-- Vista Grill: This is PERFECT for your rehearsal dinner. I hope you and Mike make a reservation to eat dinner at Vista during your Feb visit. It's a nice open space with a view of all of PV. Excellent for your guests to get a sense of where they are. Loved it! I've been there twice. I put this under "trendy", but it is really a combo of a trendy restaurant with moderate-high prices (I remember it as moderate, but double-check).

-- Bianco: Bar downstairs, dining upstairs. Everything is white and trendy. Fun.

-- Fajita Republic: This restaurant has great fajitas in a trendy, outdoor space. Moderate/inexpensive pricing (I think around $15/plate).

-- De Santos: Nice menu, interesting food. De Santos, Puerto Vallarta, México

 

MODERATE:

-- La Palapa: I didn't eat here, but heard nice things about it.

-- Le Kliff: I hear it's a wonderful view, but we didn't eat here either.

-- River Cafe: This is a great place for lunch, or possibly Sunday brunch. It is downtown PV and has a view over a little river. You will pass it when you are walking downtown, so keep an eye out or mark it on your map. I have had lunch there twice and was pleased both times.

-- Trio: I haven't eaten here and it might fall in the high-end category, but I have heard great things about it.

-- Red Cabbage Cafe: This is/was a Frida Kahlo inspired restaurant that I heard great things about but never made it there myself. It seems their website is down/disconnected, so I'm not sure they are still in business.

 

INEXPENSIVE/CASUAL:

-- Chico's Paradise

-- Daiquiri Dick's: On the beach, it was certainly fun for daiquiris (and we ate there)

-- Pipi's: Supposed to be the best faijtas in PV.

Thanks! I have researched a ton about resturants...There are a few new ones in your list! Can't wait to check into them I wish I could have opt to not pay for the all-inclusive. It is such a great deal...but I love to try new places and see as much as I can.

This is a great website to check out resturants for PV too: Puerto Vallarta & Banderas Bay Restaurants - PVMirror.com - E-Puerto Vallarta Travel Magazine - Where To Eat

There are links to the resturants which offer some coupons.

Is it in vallarta?? sounds great!!

Yes, Barcelona Tapas is in Vallarta and is supposed to have an awesome patio overlooking the city. I hear the food is sooooo good and pretty inexpensive, but I've only read a few reviews on yahoo or something. I think I'll ask my WC . . .

Try The Blue Shrimp, its downtown. Great food and atmosphere. Also if you are in Nuevo Vallarta go into Bucerias and try Marcos. They have live music, a great atmosphere and an awesome gift shop.
