About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
If you enjoy European cafés and fine continental cuisine, this award-winning restaurant that evokes old Vienna in full bloom is sure to delight you. A longtime Vallarta favorite, Austrian owner Andreas Rupprechter named the place after his compatriot Maximilian and former emperor of Mexico, perhaps he himself would have loved to dine here, choosing Wienerschnitzel with potatoes and Austrian salad as his ideal dish. Gastronomy in Puerto Vallarta has gone up a notch, that is why our menu is constantly being renewed, although it is good to know that some things do not change, and for a dozen years we have been able to maintain the satisfaction of our favorite dishes. So, whether dining outdoors surrounded by unparalleled people or in an intimate dinner, this is the place to be in Vienna, with the warm weather of Puerto Vallarta.

    Food for our group was a bit mixed this time, from really good to so-so. Steaks,rib and shrimp dishes were really good but veal scallopini was not. Sauce was a bit overwhelming, too strong. Restaurant was very warm inside until a lady sitting next to us asked waiters to turn on the AC units. That shouldn’t been done much earlier as climate is hot and humid now. Service was a bit slow initially but overall was ok. Chocolate cake dessert was wonderful.

    From the moment we entered the restaurant Miguel made us feel welcome. Very pleasant atmosphere. The food was delicious and presented with class. I do believe that this drink prices were higher than one would expect even for a high end establishment. All and all it was a very good experience! I will return.

    This has been one of my go to restaurants everytime I am in Vallarta. This is this is the first time that I didn't think that everything was wonderful. I ended up ordering from the Restaurant Week menu. I have had the spinach strudel many times. This time, the dough wasn't true flakey strudel dough but rather something that the spinach filling had been encased in. I ordered a fish main course that was in a sauce and had whole shrimp garnishing it. It was tasty but not memorable. The service was spotty. I had to tell the waiter that I wanted to order dessert instead of him asking me. No one asked how my meal was, if I would like another drink, etc. I felt ignored. I was dining alone, which I have done before and seated at a table next to a column. Instead of standing and facing me, the waiter would come up behind me and did this several times. I felt that it was awkward and honestly a bit unnerving. The restaurant was very full and very noisy. I think I will wait a while before I give it another chance.

    As always, Kaiser Maximilian’s was wonderful last night. The atmosphere is relaxed European bistro, and the food is delicious with a beautiful presentation. Luis and David offer the best service, and Luis’s wine recommendation was perfect.

    It was a delightful experience. From the moment we arrived until we left the service was personalized and friendly. The food was exquisite all around. Definitely a must restaurant to visit when in Puerto Vallarta.

    We love Kaiser Maximilian. One of the few places to get a schnitzel in PV. It is a quaint European cafe with attentive service. Do not miss the garlic soup which is labeled bread soap. It’s got some bread in it but does not overpower the soup. I had the veal scallopini and my dining companions had the aforementioned schnitzel and lamb shank (rare to find lamb on a menu here). Instead of wine we had German beers which are very rich and complex. I gave the Pacifico / Victoria the night off. Dessert was huge. Duo dessert with chocolate cake, ice cream and some strudels. One is enough for 3 people. We do come here somewhat often as we are permanent residents. It’s also not too loud but nothing in PV is quiet. Highly recommended and we will return soon!

    Transport yourself directly to a classy, 1st class restaurant any where in Vienna. That’s this place, right in the heart of Old Town! Outstanding service any a true professional. Amazing cuisine. Try the red cabbage soup! We’ll definitely be back! Gene
