One of the most cherished attractions of almost every tourist destination is its
gastronomy. Most travelers never fail to dismiss the gourmet cuisine offered by its host destination, and Puerto Vallarta is no exception. From North to South, gastronomic delights can be found everywhere.
At the marina, near the main street and bay, visitors will find traditional, gourmet, or high-end international cuisine restaurants, as well as delicious buffets at its great resorts. Additionally, through Puerto Vallarta’s Northern region, nearby the main street, visitors will find plenty more options—day or night.
Nearby downtown and the Malecon boardwalk, there are lots of traditional places, where the food and drinks will transport you to a tropical oasis. Visitors can also try a traditional snack available at street stalls or traditional markets. The romantic area has lots of cozy or outdoor places with tables over the sidewalks and a bohemian and Mexican traditional town atmosphere. Gourmet and international cuisines have their own places in this area. The combination of an astonishing view of the bay, whether beachfront or at a roof garden, and an exquisite dish, creates a perfect moment every time.
The gastronomic origins can be found on even the last beaches of Bahiade Banderas and its restaurants as well as its harbors, neighborhood kitchen, palapas, and roasted seafood skewers. Puerto Vallarta’s passion for gastronomy is so profound that during the year, many influential and international gourmet festivals take place, where Michelin stars awarded chefs participate. Through Puerto Vallarta, some restaurants offer the best seafood and other specialties, and, what’s more, there’s something available for any budget.
