01

Manifiesto

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.

02

2008

The program expands across the bay as Riviera Nayarit becomes the festival’s second official destination.

2021

La Noche de Estrellas debuts at Café des Artistes, now regarded as the festival’s most anticipated evening.

31st Edition. More than 25 participating restaurants, over 50 chefs taking the stage, 15 gourmet events, and three celebrated destinations: Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, and Tepic.

03

EVENTS

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
