After months of not being able to properly share their culinary creations for locals and visitors, the restaurants in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit have excitedly kicked off the 16th edition of Restaurant Week.

The culinary festival began on September 15, and it runs through October 10. Participants will find a variety of restaurants to choose from, with options ranging from traditional Mexican cuisine to specialties like Italian, French, Spanish and Chinese, among others.

During this time, the participating restaurants offer three-course menus at a reduced price. Guests will get to indulge in an appetizer, a main course and a dessert. The rates for the three-course meals do not include drinks or tips.

Although Restaurant Week is important each year, this year it holds an even deeper importance for the revival of these businesses.

Luis Mendoza, operations director for Vallarta Lifestyles Media Group’s Operations Director, explained, “Today more than ever, Restaurant Week returns to its original purpose: to stimulate the restaurant business of our region in times of need. We deeply appreciate the support of the restaurants and sponsors who are ready to work together towards this objective.”
