This year, Vallarta will be celebrating the 6th Annual Vallarta Lifestyle's Restaurant Week from May 15-31, when once again, many of the Banderas Bay area's finest restaurants will be offering spectacular three-course menus at the fixed price of either $189 or $299 pesos per person, not including beverages or tips. Many venues will also be featuring live entertainment to enhance your dining pleasure.
With so many wonderful restaurants to choose from, and only 17 days to sample the culinary talents of some of Puerto Vallarta's finest chefs, it may be hard to decide where to dine, so Puerto Vallarta restaurant reviewer Gary R. Beck will be taking small groups of food lovers to various participating restaurants, where they will select one of each of the three choices for each course. (appetizer, entrée and dessert)
Dinner reservations are being made for 7:30 pm each evening, and as soon as the restaurants he'll be visiting are booked the dates will be listed on the chart below. We'll also be posting Gary's reviews throughout Restaurant Week, so keep checking back for the latest news and updates.

Restaurant Week at Vitea
 Gary R. Beck
During Restaurant Week 2010, we visited Vitea Oceanfront Bistro, an intimate oceanfront bistro and bar offering classic and contemporary European fare in a casual atmosphere. But enough about the ambiance - what counts here is the exceptional fare, which is both classic and original...
Archie's Wok Restaurant Week Review
Gary R. Beck
In 1986, Archie, the personal chef of John Huston, founded Archie's Wok, a very popular restaurant featuring a combination of Thai, Filipino and Chinese cuisines. Today, his family runs this hot spot on the south side of Vallarta that is enjoyed by many, including our party during Restaurant Week.
 Restaurant Week at Trio
Gary R. Beck
The Restaurant Week menu at Trio exemplifies the outstanding Mediterranean cuisine served at this upscale restaurant. Serving "food cooked with love," chef-owners Bernhard Guth and Ulf Henriksson personally see that every dish meets their exacting standards and that every guest is satisfied.
Barcelona Tapas Restaurant Week Review
Gary R. Beck
Serving up both excellent bay views and small plates of delicious tapas meant to be shared amongst guests, Barcelona Tapas is the ideal place for eating out with friends - and those are just some of the reasons that it was on my list of places to visit during Vallarta Restaurant Week 2010.
Restaurant Week at El Arrayán
Gary R. Beck
Delightful owners Carmen Porras E. (supporter of Slow Food cooking techniques movement) and Claudia Victoria plus Executive Chef Mariano Valdés Ruiz present a menu of old traditional Mexican family specialties, which makes El Arrayán a must-visit every year during Vallarta Restaurant Week.
Hacienda San Angel Restaurant Week Review
Gary R. Beck
Between Chef Eduardo Mitchaca's Mexican infused international cuisine, the boutique hotel's luxurious surroundings and the fabulous views of downtown, Banderas Bay and Puerto Vallarta's famous sunsets, a visit to Hacienda San Angel during Restaurant Week 2010 is a must!

After enjoying a fabulous dinner at época Restaurant & Beach Bar during Restaurant Week 2010, we strolled over to Ródolfo Gómez and stopped in at Xocodiva Artisan Chocolates, which is open daily from 10 am to 10 pm for people desiring a fantastic chocolate fix.
época Restaurant Week Review
Gary R. Beck
época is another not-to-be-missed place to visit during Restaurant Week 2010. Ideally situated on the newest section of Vallarta's famous Malecón, época offers beachfront dining under palapas on the sand or under the tiled roof on the open-air patio, which also boasts an attractive bar.
Restaurant Week at Blanca Blue
Gary R. Beck
Blanca Blue is one of Vallarta Restaurant Week's most elegant and sophisticated dining options. In such spectacular surroundings this gourmet restaurant provides an idyllic setting for a romantic dinner or social gathering – a truly unique dining experience.
