We do not celebrate restaurants. We celebrate the craft of cooking.
In 1995, three chefs envisioned Puerto Vallarta not as a destination, but as a conversation. Thirty-one years later, the long table remains our stage, and the lingering after-dinner dialogue, our language.
The 31st edition brings together more than twenty-five host restaurants and chefs recognized by the Michelin Guide and The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Eleven days devoted to listening to what the Pacific has to say.









A story served in chapters.






Irrepeatable gourmet experiences.
Fifteen exceptional culinary events to discover — from the Grand Opening on November 12 at Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa’s Tierra Luna Gardens, to Picnic Under the Parotas, our closing celebration in Tepic on November 22.
Most events offer limited seating.
“Cooking for someone remains, after all, the most generous gesture I know.”
— Thierry Blouet · Co-Founder
