About the restaurant

Raíces Resto Bar se encuentra ubicado en una Casona de época de la colonia más antigua de Puerto Vallarta: Emiliano Zapata. La historia de nuestra casona y el árbol más grande de la ciudad son sólo el inicio de una experiencia culinaria única en la región. Nuestro chef Gonzalo Nogueira creó platillos exclusivos cocinados casi en su totalidad a las brasas. Sabores ahumados, tatemados e intensos son algunas de nuestras principales características. Nuestro bar dará paso a tragos artesanales que están directamente relacionados con nuestro nombre. Contamos con 3 espacios diferentes para que el comensal pueda contar con nosotros para todo tipo de ocasión. Un comedor semi cerrado principal, una sala con aire acondicionado más cerrada e íntima y un gran patio exterior son escenarios irresistibles a la hora de compartir un evento en pareja o con amigos.
La búsqueda continua para una atención de excelencia cierra nuestra propuesta dándole forma a una experiencia nueva y sofisticada.

We have dined here twice in the last couple of weeks. Both times the food was exceptional as was the service. This is now my favorite restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, could be a little formal for some. There were some foreign diners at the restaurant who thought they were at Margaritaville instead of a fine local restaurant. Highly recommended.

We went for late lunch / early dinner and were the only diners. So primo table and no noise except the waves on the beach. Great view and such a relaxing way to enjoy a meal. The food was good and priced reasonably, but the menu is similar to the other restaurants we have visited. The hostess and servers were all very friendly.

This is a remarkable international restaurant in Puerto Vallarta since 1973 for its outstanding quality, service & unique romantic ambiance. This four level restaurant is situated on the rooftop of Hotel Suites La Siesta, nestled on a hillside in the center of downtown Puerto Vallarta & only three blocks from the Malecón & beach. Each of the four floors are distinctive, offering two open air terraces as well as two inside salons one of which features a baby grand piano & our pianist playing romantic tunes all evening long. The most impressive attribute of this restaurant is the 360º view that is truly unparalleled & offers striking vistas of the entire bay & city of Puerto Vallarta. The specialties of the house include giant sautéed prawns, Caesar salads & select cuts of choice beef.
We are located at Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez, esquina Miramar #689 Colonia Centro Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.
