About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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.

    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

    My husband & I have been going to Kaiser Maximilian Restaurant for more than 20 years. We have always enjoyed the delicious dinners & desserts. Even though the restaurant has been sold, the menu is still the same & our dinner was wonderful. I was also very happy to see that Luis is still working there but without his Red Vest. We will definitely be going back & enjoying the delicious food!

    We had a wonderful experience at Kaiser Maximilian. David, the manager on duty, was very friendly and accommodating, as was the rest of the staff. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We make a point to dine here every trip to Puerto Vallarta.
