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.

Faith Colectiva

“Vallarta Lifestyles has helped us a lot to position our business, the fact that people see us in the magazine has contributed their coming back to Faith Colectiva. Actually, we have measured the reach of our advertising by offering a free gift and it is unbelievable to see them coming with the issue.”

Ulf Henriksson

Chef and partner

Vitea Oceanfront Bistro

“Since its beginnings and until today, the quality in photography and editorial design of Vallarta Lifestyles is unrivaled, because there’s nothing similar in this region of Mexico. Besides, to the foreign community that visit us, this magazine is essential if they want to know what’s new and what’s going on in our destination.”

Cyndi Alpenia

Owner

Archie’s Wok

“In a meeting that we had with the magazine’s founder, he told us about his dream of making a quality and luxury publication because he was convinced that Puerto Vallarta needed that. For that reason, we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles since its beginnings. These days, our brand is very well positioned thanks to the strategic distribution of the magazine, as it helps us reach more potential customers which is a great benefit for us.”
