Puerto Vallarta once again stands out on Mexico’s national culinary stage, earning four places on OpenTable’s prestigious list of the 50 Best Restaurants 2025. The announcement reinforces the city’s growing reputation as one of the country’s most exceptional dining destinations.
OpenTable, a global leader in restaurant technology and one of the most influential platforms for reservations and culinary insights, released its Top 50 in Mexico 2025 alongside its 2026 Gastronomic Trends Report. The report is considered the brand’s most comprehensive study to date, analyzing how, where, and what Mexicans enjoyed throughout the year while forecasting the trends that will shape next year’s dining scene.
The Top 50 list is built from a detailed evaluation that includes more than 400,000 verified reviews, diner ratings, reservation patterns, five-star review percentages, and broader customer preference trends. This rigorous process highlights restaurants that excel in culinary creativity, service consistency, hospitality, and overall memorability.
Puerto Vallarta’s honored restaurants include Café des Artistes, Hacienda San Ángel Gourmet, La Cappella, and The Iguana Restaurant & Tequila Bar at Casa Kimberly. Each contributes to the destination’s reputation for exceptional cuisine, bringing together Mexican flavors, international influences, and signature techniques in beautiful settings that reflect the city’s cultural depth and coastal charm.
This recognition strengthens Puerto Vallarta’s standing as a destination where food not only satisfies but also inspires. From refined tasting menus to elevated regional specialties, the city continues to deliver experiences that leave lasting impressions on travelers and locals alike.
Congratulations to the four award-winning restaurants and to the culinary community that continues to elevate Puerto Vallarta’s name across Mexico and the world.
