Piaf - NUEVO VALLARTA

Excellent the best restaurant at Grand Velas. Menu has good options, food is tasty and accurate, service is impeccable. Long pants requirement is a bit silly. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: MX$100–200

This is, perhaps, the best restaurant I've been to so far in my life. Everything is done right! The service is the best I've ever had, who treat you almost like royalty while offering advice and insight on the menu. The menu itself leaves you spoiled for choice. We ordered escargot and duck foie gras to start; heavenly. This was followed by pumpkin lobster soup with a large chunk of lobster in an exquisitely rich and thick broth. Main course a meat dish for two perfection. Followed by a desert of chocolate and truffle souffle. Nothing about Piaf cam be faulted, from the service, to the food, pairings or ambiance. Incredible, really!

That is definitely the best restaurant of Puerto Vallarta to my mind. This sophisticated prestigious restaurant offers the art of French cuisine. Romantic and captivating ambience, elegantly decorated, with live music 5 days a week, that enchanting trombone, so fancy. Or when not live, you'll hear French songs by Edith Piaf, Joe Dassin, Mylene Farmer etc. As in France, they start with Amuse Bouche, different each day. Their delicious home baked bread stuffed with blue cheese is really something. For Hors d'oeuvres I love my favorite Foie Gras so refined, with trio of jams. Scallops, salmon tartar, escargot and Dover sole are amazing too. French Onion Soup of course. As for main Shrimps with risotto, or Chilean seabass if you prefer seafood. Duck Confit, Chateaubriand, Lamb chops with a foie gras sauce, Veal filet if you're more a meat person. Apple tart with ice cream, or chocolate fondant were my regular choices for dessert. If they know that you have a birthday or anniversary you'll get a special complimentary dessert beautifully decorated and even a song for you. Quite an extensive wine list consists of two parts: first, extra charge which is not included for all inclusive if you're staying at the hotel, includes many sonorous names from around the world, but be ready to pay for that a significant amount. Second, which is all inclusive if you're a hotel guest, of course is more modest, but for the last year there appeared many new positions: quite decent wines from Spain, Italy, Argentina, Chile, France and Mexico itself, the wine industry in which for the recent years comes to a fine level. Their sommelier will be happy to give you advices what will accompany better your dinner. The Chef Marco Hernandez is doing really a great job and is top professional. On our last day there he offered us his special Tasting menu with wine paring: Starting with amuse bouche, and then followed seared foie gras accompanying with ice cream. Osetra Caviar on a champagne toast and a cappuccino lobster soup delicious. After was Risotto with scallops and cheese, so tender. As a main course was a Duo of rosemary lamb and shrimps with a morel sauce and ratatouille. As for dessert it was so beautiful, a total masterpiece, a chocolate fruity flower which was coming into leaf when the Chef was pouring sauce on it, we even made a video of that. This place deserves a Michelin star to my mind for delivering an unforgettable culinary experience and high quality service. Require previous reservation by the way, and children under 12 years old are not allowed. And like a typical self respecting French restaurant, it is closed on Mondays. Paramount and truly top notch sophistication.

Exelente comida! Muy Bueno !! Highly recommended ... As soon you walk in servers and hostess welcome you, making you feel very happy and ready to try everything in the menu, I ordered the onion soup, so good... As an appetizer: foie gras .. It will melt your heart cause you can try it with different marmalade for the special ovation, they have an big lists of main dishes you can order... Sea bass, scallops, fillet and more bit my other favorite was the dessert apple tart with goat ice cream... I know sounds crazy but you have to give it a try.... It was awesome!!!

Deliciosos platillos!!
