Puerto Vallarta consolidates itself as a Gastronomic Destination

The destination has around 40 cuisines from around the world and 2,000 restaurants in its metropolitan area.

Puerto Vallarta has a long culinary history that dates back to the arrival of great European chefs such as Thierry Blouet, Heinz Reize, Bernhard Güth, Roland Menetrey and Ulf Henriksson, who opened the first haute cuisine restaurants in the city.

Puerto Vallarta as a Gastronomic Destination

This marked the gastronomic scene of Puerto Vallarta, inspiring and encouraging local chefs to implement high standards of quality and constant innovation in their culinary creations.

Today, Puerto Vallarta’s gastronomic offering is an important part of the sum of elements that attract visitors to the destination. In addition to its beautiful beaches and natural settings, extensive variety of activities and its typical Mexican town charm, the green pearl of the Mexican Pacific offers gastronomic experiences of the highest level.

This has led the destination to become a benchmark for haute cuisine in America. It is not surprising that Puerto Vallarta restaurants are awarded national and international recognitions, such as the Best Consolidated Restaurant in Mexico that Café Des Artistes received in 2023 at the Food and Travel Awards, the same category in which the Trio restaurant was nominated in 2024.

For its part, the Gaviotas restaurant -at the Sheraton Buganvilias Resort & Convention Center hotel-, decorated with 4-diamond certification from the AAA, won the award for Best Haute Cuisine Hotel Restaurant in Latin America at the fifth annual edition of the World Culinary Awards.

In turn, the A Mar y Sierra restaurant was recognized with the Diner’s Choice Awards 2025, awarded by the OpenTable site according to the vote that diners cast to choose the winners and, for the fifth consecutive year, the ICÚ restaurant was selected to appear in the Mexico Gastronomic Guide 2025, which lists the 250 best restaurants in the country.

These achievements are a reflection of the passion, professionalism and dedication with which the chefs and restaurants of Puerto Vallarta work day by day to offer gastronomic experiences of the highest level, worthy of being remembered.

Likewise, the destination stands out for being the host of important culinary events such as the International Gourmet Festival, which since 1995 brings together renowned chefs and winemakers to share their flavor and knowledge with attendees.

This year will be the 30th anniversary of the festival –from November 13 to 23-, so it promises to be an extraordinary edition with 30 restaurants presenting exclusive menus from their guest chefs, more than 60 chefs on stage to delight the palates of diners, 15 exclusive events with unique culinary experiences and 20 wineries showcasing the best of national and international wines.

In addition, other traditional annual events take place in the destination, such as Vallarta Nayarit Gastronómica, Restaurant Week, Vallarta Grill Festival, Vinoma Fest and the festivals of ceviche and aguachile, mango, beer and raicilla, a distillate endemic to the Jalisco coast.

With all of the above happening throughout the year and great exponents of cuisine settled in the city, Puerto Vallarta has established itself as a destination that attracts as much for its natural and cultural charms as for its exquisite gastronomic scene.
