If you’re looking for a dining experience that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious, La Capella is your spot. Situated in a renovated church, this restaurant offers breathtaking views of the bay, live romantic violin music, and a menu featuring delicious Italian and international cuisine. While the prices may be on the higher side, guests love the attentive service, elegant decor, and beautifully presented dishes like octopus and scallops.

Although it can get quite busy in the evenings, I went here for breakfast on a Tuesday, and we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. We scored a table overlooking the iconic Guadalupe Church, which is one of the most iconic views in Puerto Vallarta. Whether you’re capturing your gourmet breakfast or the church bathed in the morning light, this place offers a variety of beautiful photo ops.
