Café des Artistes
Address: Guadalupe Sanchez 740, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
This is considered one of Puerto Vallarta’s best restaurants—romantic and candlelit, with blown glass hovering and shimmering above the tables. Chef Thierry Blouet brings Latin influence to dishes that require classic French sensibility, like tartar of mahi-mahi with watermelon or the lamb shoulder with crusted pistachios. One way to experience an evening here is with the six course chef tasting menu. You can choose two or three dishes from their bistro menu. Reservations highly recommended.
Mariscos El Coleguita
Address: Calle Popa Loc. 17, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Mariscos El Coleguita is a casual yet intimate experience close to the marina in Puerto Vallarta. They bring tequila to your table where you can get two on-the-house shots. Local seafood like tilapia, white fish, shrimp, and more are staples on the menu. Dessert, like the tequila, is provided—they’ll send fried plantains with a condensed milk for dessert to your table.
La Palapa
Address: Los Muertos Beach, Pulpito 105-3, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
La Palapa is designed to give you gorgeous views of the seaside. It’s one of the upscale options offered in Puerto Vallarta, taking pride in good service and even better food. Their bread and butter are their fresh, seasonal seafood dishes—like the seared salmon or seafood risotto—but they offer plenty of vegetarian and vegan-friendly options, too.
Playa Detox
Address: Avenida Los Tules 300, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
You’re probably going to eat a ton of great food while onboard your cruise ship. You might find yourself needing to cleanse or detox from the indulgent desserts or one too many mojitos. Playa Detox brings you nutrient-rich smoothies, juices, soups, and veggies to keep you energetic while you’re stopped on your cruise to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Planeta Vegetariano
Address: Iturbide 270 Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Vegetarians will find Planeta Vegetariano their haven while in Puerto Vallarta. Because so many Mexican dishes include meat, and the coast brings about a lot of seafood influence, finding vegetarian dishes can be a challenge. The menu changes daily, but there’s almost always a salad bar. Soy carnitas, vegetable lasagna, and soy carnitas are top choices.
