Everything was great except I expressed to two servers that I had a serious dairy allergy, and after being very clear in Spanish and English and getting confirmation it was understood, I was presented with dishes laden with dairy and was sick for the entire night. I was fine to eat anything off the menu without dairy I am super easy going and the level of reaction was next level so I know the concerns were not taken seriously by the kitchen. It’s not no butter because I am skipping fats it’s because I get violently ill. So overall beware if you have allergies! Would also be nice to know if you’re being seated inside instead of the beautiful garden which was only reason we went. I don’t ever do a bad review but I truly was so sick it was awful.

Wonderful respite from the typical restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. If you have a chance to get a reservation at Cafe des Artistes grab it. The ambiance of the garden transports you to a serene dining experience. The food is fantastic and the service top notch. Please don’t miss this restaurant on your next visit to PV.

The food was disappointing. There is much attention given to presentation but not so much with food prep. The pumpkin soup is always good. My rack of lamb did not have that caramelized and crustiness that I have come to expect

We enjoyed our evening at Cafe des Artiste’s. We had the 5 course tasting menu and it was not amazing… but it was pretty good. Service could have been better… some of our dishes were displaced during the trip from the kitchen to the table, so the presentation was off and the food slid to the end of the plate! This happened twice with one time completely toppling the food over. When they put the food on the table, they seemed rushed. We had to ask what exactly it was and they answered mostly in Spanish when they knew we both spoke English. The short ribs were tender, but a little dry and not very flavorful. Most of the dishes were just ”okay”. The violinist was amazing and we enjoyed him very much. All in all, for the price, I would have expected a little better food and service.

We were told Cafe D’Artiste was magical. We were not lied to by our friends. The table in the garden outside, the violinist, the service, the food, even the other diners, were all best in class. The Chef’s Tasting with wine pairings was delightful. We have 7 more days in PVR and our biggest decision is to go back once again or twice.

This restaurant is overrated. As I mentioned, ambience and services were outstanding...but the food was average. Our order consisted of: 1. Cream of Prawn and Pumpkin Soup which was average. Nothing to boast about! 2. Catch of The Day...chef's special: Red snapper (my favorite fish) was over cooked! Felt rubbery with absolutely flavorless sauce! 3. Green Salad and More: Green salad, pea and watercress mousse, smoked asparagus, avocado, Brussels sprouts, broad beans, chia seed vinaigrette. There were No asparagus or Brussels in the salad! 4. Sea Bass fish: This was ok dish. Overall, just disappointing. Even more disappointing, none of the servers was wearing Mask! (All other places we visited servers were masked.

Everything was excellent! Last night fully confirmed my experience of last October: I had feared a couple of years ago that Cafe des Artistes was getting "tired" the foie gras was equally so (and if you ask, you may get a fine sauterne to go with it--for a very modest price). The octopus preparation was imaginative and delicious. As always, the wine selection by the glass was top-notch. Rafael's service was friendly, attentive, & knowledgeable. I look forward to my next visit.

We have been there years ago, and made sure to revisit during our 2nd trip. Attentive service, stunning interior and of course great gourmet food, time to award Cafe de Artist a Michelin star!

I really like this place. I come here often sometimes for full on dinner, sometimes just for a few cocktails or a dessert. The ambiance is probably the best in PV, the service is always superb. I enjoy the live music, food and drinks. Great for a date, special occasions or just a fun tasting experience with friends.

Excelente atención, los platillos muy bien preparados y presentados en especial los mejillones Normandie y el filete con short Rib, bebidas un poco caras pero aceptables para el nivel de Restautante que es.
