Top Restaurant Picks
By My Deztination
Bonito Kitchen & Bar:
A casual and cozy restaurant serving up Asian small plates—from fun improvisations on that theme to faithful renditions of classic dishes that I love! Everyone loves the name “bonito” because it’s both the Spanish word for “beautiful” and the name of one of the most important fish in Japanese cuisine. Thus, it’s the perfect name for a restaurant that seeks to bring Vietnamese and Japanese flavors to Vallarta, taking advantage of our shared love for funk, citrusy brightness, and carefully calibrated spice.

Cervecería Chapultepec:
This place is great for good food on a budget, with everything on their menu only $20 pesos (~$1 USD). They offer everything from craft beer, sliders, tacos, ahi tuna & jicama & more! I prefer the location in La Marina Vallarta because it offers a quieter ambiance and views of all the boats!
Veggitalia Pizza & Osteria Vegetariana:
One of my favorite Italian restaurants in PV, Veggitalia truly has the best wine, salad, pizza or pasta combo in the city, all with a focus of fresh ingredients, vegetarian options & cozy ambiance right in the center of downtown. This menu is also served at El Colibri Cocktail bar.
Kensao Sushi Bar:
If there is anything you should know about me, it’s that I am completely, madly and obsessively addicted to sushi. Hawaii ruined me! I’ve tried every sushi restaurant in town, and the only one I recommend is Kensao in Galerías shopping mall. The sushi in Mexico is a bit different from what I’m used to in Hawaii because they use sriracha and limes in everything, but you wont be disappointed with Kensao!
Blondies PV Bar:
Fresh Music. Fresh Drinks. Fresh Air.
Steps from Los Muertos Beach in Old Town P.V., with a SLUSHBAR and open air LOFT. Premium frozen and craft cocktails.
