Puerto Vallarta · Old Town · Zona Romántica
Sunset on the terrace, dinner down the hill.
The house has a full kitchen and a terrace made for long dinners, and on some nights that is
all you will want. But Puerto Vallarta is one of the best towns in Mexico to eat in — from candlelit garden
tables and rooftops above the church to fish grilled on the sand — and most of it is a walk from the door.
Start with the flavours the coast does best: pescado embarrado, fish on a stick grilled over coals on
Los Muertos beach; aguachile, raw shrimp “cooked” in lime and chile; and a margarita —
or a glass of raicilla from the mountains behind town — as the sun drops into the bay.
These are the fourteen we send our own guests to, grouped by distance from the house:
seven in Old Town, two on the Malecón and five across the Río Cuale in the Zona Romántica and on
Los Muertos beach. Walking times are approximate. Details were checked in October 2026 — hours change with the
seasons, so a quick call first is always wise, and the most popular dinner tables book up days ahead in winter.
