Puerto Vallarta (MEX)
Not sure how this restaurant ended up in the Top 15: Restaurant No Sé Nada (27. November 2021)
Since it was the last evening in Puerto Vallarta I was really hoping to find a place which would blow my mind. Well, it did. But not how I had planned it. The No Sé Nada restaurant is apparently No. 11 of all restaurants in Puerto Vallarta and I highly wonder why. Okay, let’s be […]
Good for a super brief lunch break but nothing more: Restaurant Archie’s Wok (26. November 2021)
Sometimes you have to stop to get some food into your stomach and Archie’s Wok was exactly that – a place to make a quick stop to get some food in my stomach. Luckily, they offer something like a “fix lunch menu” (179 MXN) where you can chose between three starters, three mains, and three […]
When rip-offs become institutionalized: Restaurant Casa Tradicional Cocina Mexicana (25. November 2021)
When it all seems so good, just too good to be true, then it usually is! And that was exactly the case here! The Casa Tradicional Cocina Mexican offers a Mexican experience but catered to tourists. The whole thing starts with the preparation of your salsa for the chips right at the table. And it […]
An incredibly positive surprise – Mexican cuisine reinterpreted: Restaurant Makal (24. November 2021)
When I researched the Makal it was labelled as a ‘Cheap Eats’ restaurant on TripAdvisor but it actually turned out to be an upscale restaurant with an interesting menu. They offer modern interpretations of Mexican food which were quite lovely. As an amuse bouche I was served a “tostada de pulpo ahumado con helote” which […]
A true bargain: A full traditional Mexican meal for less than 6 CHF: Restaurant El Campanario (23. November 2021)
Authenticity is the charm – the El Campanario is an authentic and traditional Mexican restaurant where you can find a lot of locals enjoying a bite in the evening. I went for the “plato mexicano (taco, sope, enchilada, pozole)” (120 MXN) as it really offers a bit of everything. And while I was somehow surprised […]
Simple but delicious Mexican dishes: Restaurant Tacos Sonorita Olas Altas (22. November 2021)
Sometimes, simplicity wins. After a luscious dinner the previous night, it was time to try something authentic and local, so we went for the Tacos Sonorita Olas Altas and it’s really that. A simple place (although more for tourists I figured during the evening as there were barely any locals) and I tried what is […]
A great place which left a sour aftertaste: Restaurant Café des Artistes by Thierry Blouet (21. November 2021)
The Café des Artistes is exactly what the name suggests. A place where artists perform live music while you’re eating. And really good one. We had a harp player as well as a violinist who both played some amazing music at the table and I must say that it really was amazing! To start the […]
Similar to Dubai-style Sunday brunches: Restaurant La Villita @ Sheraton Buganvilias (21. November 2021)
What you get at the Sunday brunch at the Sheraton Buganvilias La Vilita restaurant is actually quite a deal, i.e., it is very similar to an extensive brunch in Dubai but just a bit smaller and a bit more local. The breakfast is priced at around 420 MXN on a regular day which is fair […]
