¡Viva Mexico! Savor the Flavors of Mexico Denise Derameé - PVNN
Puerto Vallarta - A vast array of restaurants featuring a wide variety of cuisines can be found throughout Puerto Vallarta and around Banderas Bay. Award winning chefs from a variety of international locales have come to make their homes here, and their culinary influences have given Puerto Vallarta a distinctive flavor.
But during the month of September, many of the fine dining restaurants in Puerto Vallarta will be celebrating Las Fiestas Patrias by offering traditional Mexican dishes and special Independence Day menus and events that perfectly reflect Mexico's sophisticated tastes and charms.
From the 15th through the 18th, world-renowned Chef Thierry Blouet invites you to savor the flavors of Mexico at Cafe des Artistes. On Sept 15th, he'll be hosting a celebration dinner that includes a Gourmet Menu [see menu] and live piano & flute music with a Mexican twist by Enrique and Bob. At 11 pm, Thierry will give a commemorative speech before leading diners in the "El Grito de Independencia." The ceremony concludes with everyone singing the Mexico national anthem and a tequila toast.
In addition to the Austrian delights featured on his regular menu, Andreas Rupprechter of Cafe Maximilian will be celebrating El Mes de la Patria by offering Traditional Mexican Dishes [see menu], including the Mexican dish that is most emblematic of the holiday - the red white and green Chiles en Nogada, a chile stuffed with a sweet-savory pork and fruit picadillo filling, topped with a blanket of snow-white fresh walnut sauce and a scattering pomegranate seeds.
