Restaurants near Bay of Banderas

Wait staff was very attentive and helpful. Food came very fast, which can be nice but felt a bit rushed. Everyone’s meal was great. We got two appetizers, the tuna and the shrimp. Both were delicious. Shrimp tacos, tuna tostada, shrimp fettuccini, grilled octopus and shrimp, and shrimp tostada. All were fresh and delicious. Lots of drinks consumed, the special drink, some sort of blended fruit, was a table favorite.

Not our first time here and definitely not our last. La Palapa is beautiful, elegant, relaxing, fun, and delicious! We came here for my my cousin’s rehearsal dinner a couple years ago and we had to come back while in PV for my birthday. We HAD to get the Coconut Shrimp and the cocktails were amazing! Always take the bartender’s special of the night—they are creative and perfectly crafted. When given the option, I’ll always choose dinner on the beach 😍

Magical Birthday Celebration at Café des Artistes We celebrated a birthday at Café des Artistes in Puerto Vallarta, and it was perfection! The lush garden ambiance, exceptional service, and beautifully crafted tasting menu made the evening unforgettable. Each dish on the tasting menu was a masterpiece, from the delicate starters to the rich braised short ribs with a surprising sauce. The surprise birthday dessert with sparklers was the cherry on top, thanks to the attentive and thoughtful staff. Whether for a special occasion or a romantic night out, Café des Artistes delivers an extraordinary experience. Highly recommend!

They were out of some of our favourite items. Grilled artichoke, corn bread, ingredients for specialty cocktails, and the staff were a bit frazzled as it seemed they could have used a few more working. It was a three hour dinner. The servers did not come and check on our table of 14 people and we had to grab them as they ran by to receive our drink and food order and even plates. We enjoyed our evening because we love being together as a family but they didn’t make us feel special. Hopefully next time they can be a bit more organised and keep the menu items available.

This was not just a meal, but a lovely experience! We were here to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from college & it was perfect from start to finish. Impecable service , personal touches, quiet ambiance. The hotel casa Kimberly is filled with Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton memorabilia: pics, movie posters etc not kitchey but conservative and adds to the ambience. This is a perfect restaurant for celebration, or romantic atmosphere. The architecture and authentic Mexican tiles are picturesque. Will definitely recommend to friends and come again for a special occasion.
