Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - During Restaurant Week 2011, be sure to stop by Kaiser Maximilian and help them celebrate 16 years of bistro-style dining in Old Town Puerto Vallarta.

Owner Andreas Rupprechter says, "If you haven't tried Kaiser Maximilian now is probably the best time to do it, to try our great European cuisine and the great creations of Carlos our chef and I'm sure you will enjoy it."

Indulge your palate during Restaurant Week and a bit beyond because the three course dinner for $299 pesos lasts from May 16th until June 4th. (Kaiser Maximilian is closed on Sundays.) In conjunction with the restaurant's anniversary, there will be even more to choose from on the special menu.

The event's menu includes nine appetizer choices, Savory Spinach Strudel with mixed greens and cherry tomatoes tossed in a vinaigrette, Ravioli, three soups and various salads.

Main course options include a tender Red Snapper Fillet over a bed of risotto flavored with smoked chiles and served with vegetables, Roasted Leg of Veal, Beef Tenderloin, Wienerschnitzel, and five other entrees.

Known for their desserts, the tough decision will be between seven irresistible temptations, like a warm Chocolate Bourbon Tart with pecans and topped with vanilla ice cream or a Fried Crepe with peach cream and flambé cherries, just to tease you with a few.

No other participating restaurant is offering this extensive array of options. It's a superior blend of old and new world cuisine, Austrian style. Find it all at Kaiser Maximilian.
