If you enjoy European cafés and fine continental cuisine, this award-winning restaurant that evokes old Vienna in full bloom is sure to delight you. A longtime Vallarta favorite, Austrian owner Andreas Rupprechter named the place after his compatriot Maximilian and former emperor of Mexico, perhaps he himself would have loved to dine here, choosing Wienerschnitzel with potatoes and Austrian salad as his ideal dish. Gastronomy in Puerto Vallarta has gone up a notch, that is why our menu is constantly being renewed, although it is good to know that some things do not change, and for a dozen years we have been able to maintain the satisfaction of our favorite dishes. So, whether dining outdoors surrounded by unparalleled people or in an intimate dinner, this is the place to be in Vienna, with the warm weather of Puerto Vallarta.

    Simply outstanding. Our entire family loved the food, amazing unique place and outstanding service. From the front desk greeting us, to our servers Mr. Luis and Ricardo, to being helped to catch a taxi back we had a phenomenal experience. Highly recommend especially around sunset as we were lucky with a really great night. There was a gentleman also playing the violin which made the ambience even more unique and special.

    Cafe des Artistes is a MUST for any foodie/ Michelin enthusiast visiting Puerto Vallarta. The service is attentive and knowledgeable without being overbearing, and the food is artistic and creative— both visually and flavor wise. Additionally, the manager, Ephrain, goes above and beyond for all of the patrons. Cafe des Artiste is deserving of even more recognition than it has already received.

    The location and ambience are everything you’d hope for in a PV experience. With the option of being under the roof or on the beach, we chose the beach. Perfect choice. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was stellar. The final check felt a little pricier than their $$$ designation. My wife continued to thank me for finding La Palapa and treating our group of four to an evening we will always cherish when our memories find us back in PV.

    I made this reservation for my cousin and his wife that were visiting PV. It is one of our favorite places when we are there, and wanted them to try it. I also purchased a gift card for them to use, and the staff there was great about presenting it to them when they arrived. They had a wonderful time and loved every bit of it! Thank you to the staff for making this work!
