Café des Artistes - 48300 Puerto Vallarta

The best restaurant in Puerto Vallarta without a doubt. We had a beautiful elder menu with wine pairings. Kudos to the sommelier for the perfect marriage between food and wine. And kudos to chef Thierry for the most delicious menu ever. We love the authenticity of the menu, with the fresh ingredients that mix French cuisine and techniques with Mexican dishes and ingredients. Our waiter, Giovanni, was the most knowledgeable and polite. Thanks for a beautiful service mate!

This was a super cool place, the atmosphere was top notch with live violin and piano. The food was good, but not that unique, same with the cocktails, they were all good but I was hoping for more creativity in the food/drinks. Still the place is amazing and worth a visit.

I’ll join the chorus. What an amazing culinary experience. Everything you ever want from a fine dining establishment and more. Splurge and get the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Just extraordinary. If you’re ever in the PV area and can afford a nice night out. Go for it.

Incredible ambience on the patio. You are surrounded by fountains and trees with live music. During my dinner, the live music was a talented harp player. This wasn’t my favorite dinner in PV but it was still delicious and lovely (I think I was just so spoiled with a lucky find the night before). I ordered the pumpkin soup for appetizer and sea bass as an entree. Both were delicious and the plating was immaculate. They serve the pumpkin soup right out of a pumpkin!

I have been dining here for 19 years, and it never fails to amaze, delight, and just plain wow me every time. When you step into the art filled lobby and wait for your table by the piano bar, you get the feeling that it's going to be a magical evening, and it never disappoints. The waitstaff are meticulous in their attention to detail, the menu is seasonal and fresh, and each dish had been well thought out. Beef cheek tacos and tartare were beautiful starters, the sea bass was sublime, as was the pork belly. The pulpo was so perfectly cooked it was amazing, and since it was a special birthday we had an assortment of desserts delivered as a beautiful presentation with a sparkler candle for dramatic effect. Highly recommend.

The dinner here was the highlight of our trip to PV. We are foodies who live in a food rich area, but this was a phenomenal. The tasting menu with the wine pairing was worth every bit. The service couldn't be beat. The atmosphere was perfect. This restaurant should not be missed.

This is the BEST restaurant experience I have ever had. The service was exceptional, the food was beyond delicious and the portions were perfect. The restaurant itself is a piece of art with multiple individual and symbiotic pieces of art all over the restaurant. We were a party of 6 and we did a wine pairing 5-course meal. there were two choices per course, and each couple ordered one of each so we could taste everything offered. I especially loved how special we all were made to feel. It was my husband’s 60th birthday and they made him feel celebrated in a way that we was blushing and laughing (he’s a humble guy). We toured the restaurant, and know if we come back, we will be booking a table in the rooftop (enclosed) garden, that looks like a lush hidden jungle. The musicians entertained us with a violin /piano mini-concerto of the Game of Thrones theme and a “Texas-themed fiddle” song. Such a perfect way to spend an evening with friends and loved ones. Highly recommend Cafe des Artistes!

We had an amazing dinner at Café des Artistes. The food is delicious. Cocktails are amazing and the garden outside is something really special. We do have some suggestions to make the dining experience perfect: 1. It may be better for one person to take orders and serve a table. I think we had our oders taken and delivered by 4-5 different people. This takes away from the experience. 2. There is a lot of movement around tables throughout the night. Last night was specially busy so that's understandable but at some points, there were 5 servers gathered around close to our table as they were waiting on tables and sorting through orders. This also takes away from the guests enjoying a relaxing meal. This place is real special and we will definitely come back!
