Best Lunch Restaurants in Puerto Vallarta

Fabulous! From the food, ambiance, and service - all excellent. One of the most beautiful restaurants truly. The only suggestion I’d make is having someone who can share on the wines. Adding a sommelier would be a great addition to what is already a fantastic restaurant!

Excellent food, service & atmosphere. Adding cushions to your indoor seats would make it more comfortable.

La Palapa is hands-down our favorite dining spot in Puerto Vallarta. It’s the perfect place to catch a sunset, with stunning ocean views and an ambiance that strikes just the right balance between relaxed and elegant. The service here is consistently good—friendly, attentive, and warm without being overbearing. It’s clear the staff takes pride in creating a welcoming experience. The food is fun and approachable, offering a mix of flavors that never feels pretentious. Whether it’s a fresh seafood dish or a creative cocktail, everything is thoughtfully prepared and delicious. We make it a point to dine at La Palapa both at the beginning and end of every trip, and it never disappoints. It’s more than a meal; it’s part of the Puerto Vallarta experience.

Absolutely the best sushi in Puerto Vallarta, rivals even my favorite high-end sushi restaurants in New York City and London and San Francisco, at a fraction of those prices! Yes, it is expensive for here, but it’s the real deal and so fresh and so many wonderful options to add on– amazing bartender, and mixologist kind service all around excellent experience. 

Great table for starters! Oyster were delicious as well although some were very small. Dinner was excellent.
