I love this place. They are still open now during renovations and still an amazing experience overall. My favorite item is always the pumpkin soup. But honestly I have never had anything bad here and I love that there is always something new I can try as well. Service is amazing. Very friendly and helpful even with pairing wines. Violinist was amazing. Harpist was off this time but usually he’s there and is also a wonderful experience to hear such lovely music.

We came here on our honeymoon as our special meal for the trip and everything was delicious! My husband and I ordered the 5 course menu with wine pairing and just did one of everything so we could taste it all. Some of our favorites were the kampachi tostada, foie gras, & sea bass, but everything was delicious. Service was impeccable as well and they brought out a fun display of our desserts that said happy honeymoon with a big heart. Totally recommend!

It was my Gf & I first time in puerto Vallarta & we wanted to experience what a lot of people were saying was amazing. I’ll start by saying I’ve definitely had better food. Yes I have fine-dined before being we are from NY. Yes some of the dishes were delicious but I’ve definitely had better tasting food. We went just when the restaurant opened & we were greeted by the staff & I believe head chef. Which I loved. Their wasn’t a harpist there. So it was pretty quiet. I wish they would expand their menu a bit more because not everyone only eats fish / octopus or beef. There is literally no chicken on the menu, lamb, pork? The first dish I had was amazing. The flavor was so good but the other dishes were a let down. The truffle risotto tasted like tomato sauce from chef boyardi. If you ever have truffle anything you know it has a distinctive flavor but somehow wasnt getting that. One of their items they didn’t have on the menu so was offered a different type of fish & tasted so bad unfortunately, but like I said I wish they had other protein options. When the guy was explaining the dish, he was pointing out which each one was, but it was so close to the food. The waiters were like cleaning silverware behind us or whatever which was very loud and annoying. It’s a beautiful restaurant but for $85 per person would have spent that on an excursion or something. I’ve had better food. But overall still the customer service was excellent. But this was a one & done for me.

My experience at Cafe des Artistes (Puerto Vallarta) was nothing short of grand. My party was there to celebrate a birthday and the restaurant definitely made it special. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive; the ambiance was perfect (elegant & clean); the restaurant was aesthetically pleasing, and the layout was did a great job with limited space. Our group indulged in the tasting menu and found all of the food to be far above average (with the exception of possibly the choco taco dessert). The in-house violinist was also exceptional. Finally, the restaurant’s birthday observance was felt throughout the night, from start to finish with subtle cues and reminders of the special occasion, leading to the spectacle that was dessert. I could not have asked for a better experience.

The food was not good, very disappointing considering I really talked it up to my spouse. Our server was extremely rude when it came to paying the bill, we ordered wine then he harassed us about leaving additional tip for the wine, after we explained to him that we left a generous tip when we booked and paid for the reservation online. Generous for the service he provided. We left additional tip just to have him stop saying things to us. Very unprofessional

Ambience and service was great. The harp player was really good. One issue we had was that one of the seats at our table was on the other side of a door. We had to ask them to move the seat. It was puzzling because there was plenty of room and they chose this awful spot that made it hard to have a conversation. Not to mention it was right next to the cutlery station. Food was average at best. Quite a few of the dishes lacked flavor. Way overpriced for what it was. The only two good items were the tomato risotto which was ironically one of the cheaper items on the menu and the foie gras. The raspberry and beet dessert was good too. The selection is super limited and most of the items were uninspiring. We got the tostada, risotto, foie gras, sea bass main course, chocolate taco and the raspberry/beet dessert. Our 2 drinks each + 3 appetizers + 2 main course + 2 desserts + 20% tip ran us close to $250.

Pedimos la degustación, estaban muy buenos los platillos, desgraciadamente no los disfrutamos porque tardaban hasta media hora entre platillo y platillo, se perdía el ritmo y el apetito. También se nos hizo excesivamente caro

Cafe des Artistes is simply magical. Chef Thierry Blouet accommodated our party's various dietary restrictions, and the servers made the occasion special for the milestone birthday we celebrated in honor of one in our party. The atmosphere, both indoors and outdoors (where there is a lovely garden) is exquisite, and the plating is quite artistic. The food was top-notch, with an amazing combination of tastes to tickle one's palate!
