In a destination such as Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, with hundreds of excellent restaurants, even the best chefs in the region deserve a break. But where do they go? There is a warm camaraderie among many chefs in our destination, such that they frequently visit one another’s restaurants to sample the latest culinary creations. But just as in any other profession, it is also healthy to spend some time away from work-related affairs for a change of pace, so you shouldn’t be surprised if a chef pursues his or her favorite dishes on their time away from work, for the sheer pleasure of enjoying them.

This time around, we’ve polled a few Restaurant Week participating chefs to learn about their favorite restaurants in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, for you to consider them as trustworthy recommendations or to simply appreciate the broad spectrum of tastes, flavors and sensations these culinary artists are attracted to and that somehow influence their own personal cooking styles.

“We started to advertise in Vallarta Lifestyles because since its beginnings and to date it keeps using modern technological equipment to produce it and it is possible to notice that in the quality of the magazine, which offers interesting topics about the life of our destination through its articles and interviews to well known personalities. Actually, I keep a collection in my personal library.”

“We have a close relationship with Vallarta Lifestyles. Since it beginnings, it has been the most important media for the touristic promotion of our destination. Its content has always been excellent, due to the quality of its articles and spectacular photos. For the type of readers that it reaches, this the ideal publication to advertise our listings.”

“Vallarta Lifestyles, from its inception has been a quality reference. In some way, it has managed to consolidate the destination because all our restaurants where there and we communicate as an exchange platform. The benefit, besides advertisement and recommendation, is that this publication is a solid copy of Puerto Vallarta’s evolution. If you pick up an old issue, immediately you’ll recall precious memories.”
