Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico - One of Mexico's most popular destination for food culture and world-class restaurants, Puerto Vallarta has a vibrant culinary scene - second only to Mexico City.

Visitors and residents will find it hard to find a truly bad dining experience here along the Pacific coast, since the view is usually superb and the fish and seafood almost certainly guaranteed to be fresh.

Deciding which eateries are the best comes down to degrees of goodness — a mix of ambience, quality of service, coldness of the beer, vantage point on the beach and an indefinable feeling of balance — that for an hour or two, there's no place on earth you'd rather be.

Of course we all have our favorites where we are welcomed back each time like family. And new places are continually joining the restaurant scene, which is becoming more international and global. TripAdvisor.com is a great resource for restaurant information.

Here are some suggestions for some interesting activities for foodies:
