Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - This month, in addition to the traditional Austrian cuisine that has made Kaiser Maximilian one of Puerto Vallarta's favorite restaurants for more than 18 years, Owner / Chef Andreas Rupprechter is bringing back his special Summer menu featuring dishes from Greece.
A few years ago, Chef Rupprechter decided to feature Greek food because he has relatives in Greece, visits often, and was eager to share this interesting cuisine with his restaurant patrons. Since then, his Greek summer specials have become so anticipated that he's bringing them back by popular demand through August 31st.
Start off with the traditional Greek salad, Horiatiki, with diced cucumber, tomato, red onion, feta and calamata olives, tossed with extra virgin olive oil.
Entrée choices include Moussaka, eggplant and ground beef topped with melted cheese and Bechamel sauce; Souvlaki, skewered and grilled chicken, bell peppers, onions and tomato served with seasoned green rice and a yellow chili stuffed with goat cheese; and the Gyro, sautéed beef, onions, mushrooms, and peppers, served with grilled pita bread and Tzatziki, which is a yogurt, cucumber and garlic sauce.
Baklava, phyllo pastry layered with nuts and honey, adds the perfect finishing touch to the special Greek menu, so stop by Kaiser Maximilian and celebrate the end of summer with some less expensive and lighter fare.
And don't forget, in September, Kaiser Maximilian will be celebrating El Mes de la Patria by serving up traditional Mexican dishes.Open Monday-Saturday from 8 am to 11 pm for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Kaiser Maximilian Restaurant & Cafe is located at Olas Altas #38B in the Zona Romántica of Puerto Vallarta.
