If you enjoy European sidewalk cafés and fine continental cuisine, this award-winning eatery evoking Old Vienna at its heyday is sure to charm you. A longtime Vallarta favorite, Austrian owner Andreas Rupprechter named the place in honor of fellow countryman, Mexico’s former emperor. And Maximilian himself would have loved dining here, perhaps, choosing hearty comfort food like Wienerschnitzel with potatoes and Austrian salad. Or delving into gourmet renditions of contemporary European fare, like Duo of duck breast and duck confit with Spätzle, mushrooms and sugar snap peas. And while the menu is constantly being tweaked, it’s nice knowing that some things don’t change, and for a dozen of years we’ve been able to count on enjoying our favorite plates here. So whether dining al fresco with unparalleled people watching, or in an intimate, air-conditioned, Old World milieu, when a fabulous meal or just a perfect pastry and a special coffee is what you crave, this is the place to be.

This used to be one of our PV favorites for the past 17 years, but no more. We had a horrible service experience last year and reviewed it as such. The owner promised to make things better, but they are now worse than before. Here's the short version. Good food as always, but horrible service and if you east outside, just too much noise from loud musicians and traffic. They had just a few people eating there when we had early reservations, but it took over 90 mins to get our meals. They didn't even the get simple orders right and our server never checked in with us. I'll go with good service every time. There are just too many competing restaurants serving good food in the Romantic Zone with much better service. Sorry, but we won't be back.

We love this place and always have it on our Puerto Vallarta schedule. Last night the duck entree was magnificent. The creative take on escargot, wrapped in puff pastry and fried rather than in garlic butter with a fresh spinach salad, was much appreciated as were the deserts. Highly recommended.

I’ve been coming here for twelve years. I had the rosemary chicken and it was excellent. However, the restaurant notified Open Table that I had had not honored my reservation, which in fact I had. I went to the restaurant to speak with the manager to find out why they had sent this false report to Open Table. Despite having been a loyal customer for 12 years, he could have cared less. As a result, I can care less and won’t be going back. Why patronize a restaurant with this type of attitude? I, for one won’t.

The food was very mediocre, and the prices were too high for the poor quality of food. The temperature was hot and uncomfortable for dining, the tables were very close and this made conversation uncomfortable. The service staff was wonderful... We have always considered Maximilian eatery a nice place to have a meal. Unfortunately, we won't return after this last encounter.

We received prompt, attentive service with Luis, he made excellent recommendations and we absolutely loved our meal. The wine he recommended was excellent and paired well with our meals, it's just a lovely, consistently great restaurant. We chose to sit outside and it's a little "lively" but we loved it. Street noise, vendors, musicians, all the things! It's one of the things to love most about PV

My wife and I enjoyed dinner at Kaiser Maximilian. While in Puerto Vallarta we had a graving for German food and this restaurant met our need. I had the wiener schnitzel and my wife the red snapper. Both were very good. The service was outstanding. Unfortunately I can't recall the name of the fellow who waited on us. Even the owner, who was from Austria, dropped by to say "hello."

If you are already in Puerto Vallarta, why not spend a few hours in Vienna? The greeting and service was timely and efficient. The marinated beet salad was wonderful. The veal shank and rahmschnitzel dishes were authentic and delicious. The combo dessert of apple pastry sacher cake was just enough. The wine list is good with a fairly wide price availability. Coffees, ports, cognacs to fit any taste. Sit inside if you want a break from the noise and vendors, outside if it’s a warm evening.

We really enjoyed our time at the restaurant. Jesus was an attentive waiter and gave us some advice about our drink and dinner choices. We really liked the homemade warm bread, our schnitzel, and our side salad. The dinner was delicious. We had the crème brûlée, and hot flavorful cappuccino. Perfect evening. We are here in PV a couple more weeks— and are looking forward to our next dining experience at the Kaiser Maximilian.
