We congratulate all of the 2009 Virtual Vallarta Readers' Choice Restaurant Award winners and invite you to visit VirtualVallarta.com for more details.
Long considered one of the top gastronomic destinations in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta is home to a vast array of restaurants serving a wide variety of cuisines to suit every taste and budget.

But with so many great places to dine in Puerto Vallarta and around Banderas Bay, it can be difficult to single out "the best of the best" so, every year, Virtual Vallarta's Readers' Choice Awards give residents and visitors alike an easy way to acknowledge their favorite restaurants.

Now in it's eighth year, this annual online survey allows voters to determine who will be taking home the top honors in any or all categories of this locally coveted awards competition. Votes were cast online on VirtualVallarta.com from the beginning of December 2008 to June 15, 2009 and tabulated electronically to ensure accuracy.
