Located in the heart of Puerto Vallarta next to the city’s best art galleries, Café des Artistes is one of the top restaurants in Puerto Vallarta, renowned for its elegant atmosphere and refined Mexican cuisine with a menu by chef Joel Ornelas.

As soon as you enter Cafe Des Artistes, it feels like you are in a fairytale. You’ll be welcomed into a lounge where you can enjoy a delicious cocktail with live music before being seated upstairs.

They have an elegant indoor dining area with AC, as well as a charming courtyard adorned with beautiful art pieces and lush vegetation. However, the outdoor area is not open during the summer months because of the rain.
The food here does not disappoint. During restaurant week, I had a fantastic three-course meal of fresh sea bass and mouth-watering cheesecake.

If you come on a Wednesday evening, you can combine it with the Puerto Vallarta art walk for a perfect evening itinerary.
