Café des Artistes
- Address: Av. Guadalupe Sanchez 740, Centro, Puerto Vallarta
- Phone: 322/222-3229
Fodor's Review:
Several sleek dining spaces make up Café des Artistes, the liveliest of which is the courtyard garden with modern sculpture. The main restaurant achieves a modern Casablanca feel with glass raindrops and tranquil music. Thierry Blouet's Cocina de Autor (closed Sunday and September) is the restaurant's latest innovation, and it was listed in Condé Nast's 2005 "80 hottest new restaurants in the world." The limited seating restaurant pairs four- to six-course tasting menus with appropriate wines. Decor is restrained, with a waterfall garden behind plate glass taking center stage. The clubby cigar bar has one of the structure's few original adobe walls; the Constantini Wine Bar has some 50 vintages by the glass as well as distilled spirits, appetizers, and live music Monday through Saturday nights.

Romantic..
Posted by Janiebii from NJ on 5/4/08
Well I have to say this is the only restaurant i would dress up. It is a very romantic setting. The bisque soup was served out of a pumpkin, the food was very good, but very pricey but that is expected!! But worth it too! We went to Cafe for our anniversary, i emailed them for the reservation, they treated us like King and Queen, for dessert they brought out a mirror filled with different desserts with Happy Anniversary written in Chocolate. I was very impressed!! Worth the money!!!
Well it is VERY fancy

If you just happen to have a couple of hundred dollars per person to blow, by all means this is the place to do it. It is beautiful and the food is sometimes quite good but it is crazy expensive and the service can range between flawles and "who the heck are you?" Be sure to be dressed to kill or get the cold shoulder. All in all, not worth the money or attitude.

We visited Cafe des Artistes for our girlfriends 4oth birthday celebration. We sat in the courtyard which is a must. The indoor decor is lovely as well, so don't be disappointed if it rains, it makes you think of the city, very chic. Our service was attentive, our martinis wonderful, wine from South Africa sublime, food, all fish dishes, was unbelievable and the dessert for the birthday celebration was magnificently presented and decadent. The price was very fair for the quality of food, service and atmosphere that we received. Go to de Santos rooftop lounge for a drink after, a very hip spot.
