Restaurants near Paradise at Sierra del Mar

This was the second Thanksgiving dinner we have had at La Palapa in Puerto Vallarta! The food was delicious! They had a special Thanksgiving menu and numerous tables set up on the beach!

We found the lobster to be over-cooked on the outside and under-cooked on the inside. I’m not sure why restaurants don’t boil lobster, but bake it instead. Of course they did not charge us for the lobster, plus they gave us complimentary desserts. We will certainly return again and again. Our favorite restaurant in Puerto Vallarta!

Our party of three had a memorable dinner. We decided to have the tasting menu. The vegan member of our group was able to have a vegan version of the tasting menu. For all of us, each course was excellent. The wine pairing was also very well matched to the dishes. It was a lovely evening so we asked to be seated outside in the terraced tropical garden which was magical. So, Food: Excellent, Service: Excellent, Atmosphere: Excellent, Noise Level: Quiet, Cost: Very Expensive. Highly recommended.

Fantastico! Fermin, our lovely server, was incredible — and our meal was so delicious. We stayed at the hotel so we had an even better experience overall! 5* all the way. Be sure to dress up—this is a refined, special place. We saw a few people in shorts and sneakers… a shame, really. The restaurant explicitly states “elegant dress”.

We enjoyed a dinner by the glass fence in the water patio area. The view was amazing. The waiter took our order and accommodated all of our requests. The food was delicious and the drinks were refreshing. Will definitely come back on our next trip. A must see experience on your trip to Puerto Vallarta.
