Azafrán opened in 2017 offering modern Mediterranean cuisine made with fresh local ingredients, refined European techniques, and creative, unexpected flavor pairings. More than a restaurant, it’s a complete sensory experience—subtle, sophisticated, and warmly welcoming.
With friendly European-style service and an elegant yet casual ambiance, it’s a must-visit for food lovers in Puerto Vallarta. Located in the heart of the Romantic Zone, Azafrán lives up to its name: delicate, but unforgettable.
With over five years of experience in high-level European kitchens, Chef Boran Tas blends flawless technique, creativity, and a deep passion for gastronomy. He is currently part of the prestigious Schanz.Restaurant in Germany, awarded three Michelin stars, where he hones his craft at the highest culinary level. His career also includes time at Artis by Tristan Brandt in Switzerland, a venue recognized for its innovation and excellence, where he worked alongside some of the most renowned chefs in the world.
Fluent in German, English, and Turkish, Boran is much more than a talented chef—his charisma, contagious smile, and boundless energy make him a true ambassador of fine dining. Passionate about CrossFit, martial arts, and traveling, he uses each journey as an opportunity to immerse himself in local culture and learn from its culinary traditions.
With an approach that combines European precision with a fresh, personal vision, Boran joins the International Gourmet Festival to present a menu that will surprise and delight. Each dish will carry his signature: exceptional flavor, refined technique, and a proposal that reflects his love for cooking and his curiosity about the world.
Under the direction of executive chef Andreas Fischer, Azafrán delivers a fresh, sustainable, and refined dining experience that bridges tradition and innovation. Originally from Germany, Fischer brings together the comforting flavors of his mother’s classic home cooking, the sophistication of modern Mediterranean cuisine, and the precision of advanced European techniques.
His culinary philosophy centers on the respectful use of local, seasonal ingredients to create vibrant, creative, and sustainable dishes. Each plate showcases the chef’s dedication to quality, authenticity, and environmental consciousness.
To elevate the experience even further, Azafrán offers a thoughtfully curated wine selection designed to perfectly complement each dish. The wine list features emerging Mexican vineyards, organic Chilean wines, and select French and Italian labels, carefully chosen to enhance every nuance of flavor.
Located in Puerto Vallarta’s charming Romantic Zone, Azafrán invites guests to embark on a culinary journey that is elegant, intimate, and full of soul.
Set against the breathtaking backdrops of Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, and Tepic, with perfect weather and spectacular views, the Gourmet Festival is more than an event: it is a celebration of culture, flavor, and community since 1995.
