I notice all the reviews are dated in 2006. How come no current reviews? Our experience there was very similar to the couple who complained about the minicule chicken. I think it is the restaurant s way of punishing people who split an entree. No way was the chicken entree a chicken. To this day, I swear it was a pigeon. Going back to PV in a few days, maybe try it one more time....
On a whim, though we were aware of the reputation of the chef, we stopped by and had dinner in the garden. This was the less formal dining area of the restaurant. The decoration, ambiance and cleanliness are excellent. The food was truly "iron chef" style, or Michelin 2 star food style, with concentrated flavors and a local ...

My husband and I visited Puerto Vallarta this spring and the dinner at Cafe des Artistes was his surprise for our 3rd Anniversary. He had reservations and we were led to the roof terrace and seated next to the waterfall. There was still light at the time and we could see the bay. Huge bamboo surrounded the terrace and white orchids dangled down ...
THIS IS TRULY A SPECIAL PLACE TO BE EXPERIENCED. ASK FOR A PODIUM TABLE IN THE GARDEN. TRULY MAGICAL. I MAKE SURE WITH EACH VISIT TO P.V. I GET HERE AT LEAST ONCE. AN EXTRA SURPRISE LAST TIME I WENT WAS RESTAURANT WEEK. THE MEALS WERE UNBELIEVEABLY INEXPENSIVE WHICH PROMPTED US TO ORDER ONE MORE BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE. MAGIC MAGIC MAGIC

Amazing food, amazing service!

We went to the newest area of the restaurant "Thierry Blouet Cocina de Autor". We were warned it was pricey, but vs. comparable restaurants in the U.S., it's a steal. The food was great, with the seabass being one of the best things I have ever tasted. They put together a beautiful dessert plate for us for our anniversary, and then the executive chef gave us a tour of the whole restaurant and kitchens. So much fun!
Cafe is a little pricey but worth it for a nice romantic evening! The shrimp bisque is served in a pumpkin. It was our anniversary and they put together a beautiful platter of samples of desserts with Happy Anniversary written in Chocolate.. very nice for a special occassion.

I just love everything, service food, desserts wow!!
I can't wait to go back. The garden is just the perfect place for couples, you can feel the history in every wall. The waiters are warm and we receive a great service. There is nothing I can complain about this place.
This was our last meal on our trip to Puerto Vallarta and it was worth the wait. The service, food etc. was great. The only thing that bothered me was being charged $9.00 (U.S.) for a bottle of water, and my husband thought the drinks were skimpy. This was our first experience at Cafe de Artistes in 3 trips to Puerto Vallarta and it will not be the last. We definitley will go back here.

Magically is the only word worthy of the experience
I recommend the tasting menu with wine pairing. Each dish will be forever engrained into to my memory. The pairing flawless, spot on. The tasting menu guests are sat atop the entire building next to the top of the waterfall. The seating is intimate and the night we were there we were the only people up there until towards the end of our evening. ...
