If you enjoy European cafés and fine continental cuisine, this award-winning restaurant that evokes old Vienna in full bloom is sure to delight you. A longtime Vallarta favorite, Austrian owner Andreas Rupprechter named the place after his compatriot Maximilian and former emperor of Mexico, perhaps he himself would have loved to dine here, choosing Wienerschnitzel with potatoes and Austrian salad as his ideal dish. Gastronomy in Puerto Vallarta has gone up a notch, that is why our menu is constantly being renewed, although it is good to know that some things do not change, and for a dozen years we have been able to maintain the satisfaction of our favorite dishes. So, whether dining outdoors surrounded by unparalleled people or in an intimate dinner, this is the place to be in Vienna, with the warm weather of Puerto Vallarta.

    We had a wonderful experience at Kaiser Maximilian. David, the manager on duty, was very friendly and accommodating, as was the rest of the staff. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We make a point to dine here every trip to Puerto Vallarta.

    We always eat outside as we enjoy the people watching. If you feel that it would be too noisy, dine inside. We especially enjoy the bread garlic soup. It is unique and if you like garlic, you will love. The service is superior and the food is delicious. We have gone there for 30 years. There has been an ownership change but everything else has remained the same.

    We were very disappointed that only a pre fix menu was available even after checking with the restaurant to make sure we could order from the regular menu. The website offers little information about the menu so it is necessary to call. Beware when making reservations. Being presented with an expensive 4 course meal as your only alternative is not a pleasant experience.

    This was the first Su day morning that Kaiser Wilhelm was open for breakfast after its transition to a new owner so it was very quiet because the word has not spread that is open for breakfast on Sunday. Our waiter Enrique was excellent as usual, knowledgeable a d efficient, friendly and very attentive. That’s a big oart of what makes the restaurant so enjoyable, along with the great food and ambiance. For some reason Kaiser Wilhelm has not posted its breakfast menu online so I am going to try to include it in this review.

    New owner… never came to table.. ravioli was a favorite before, but was way under-cooked. Maybe they think “al dente” is hip… this was so hard it wasn’t good. Everything needed salt… and I don’t over-salt. Meat was too tough with gristle to cut… didn’t eat it. Vegetables too underdone… almost raw. Waiter was nice as always. I love the room. I hope the new owner doesn’t lose the old classic elegance it once was.
