Twenty years of avant-garde and evolution of local gastronomy. It was March of 1995 since the first meeting between Thierry Blouet and Heinz Reize, which led to the idea of promoting Puerto Vallarta’s vibrant and excellent restaurants on the world stage. The 10-day festival was meant to highlight Puerto Vallarta’s gastronomy on the local and international scene. It has exceeded those goals.

The original format has remained unchanged: each host restaurant collaborates with a guest chef, but the number of selected participants has grown to over 30 in the last few years, with noted international chefs lining up for an invitation to participate. Consider their benefits: cooking in some of the world’s best restaurants, in a tropical paradise, for an enthusiastic and educated clientele!

The incorporation in 2000 of Chef Roland Menetrey as an associate, and the extension of the event to the Riviera Nayarit and Tepic, allowed the festival even more intense to boost fine dining. Today the festival is billed as the best gastronomic event in the country and also one of the most important on the continent. To the extent that the Gourmet Festival has gained in maturity, featuring several of the most renowned chefs in the world, the festival also introduced to several of the most promising stars of the national cuisine.

The festival’s reputation has allowed Epicurean widen Mexico and extend the impeccable credentials of the restaurants in Puerto Vallarta, the Riviera Nayarit and Tepic. But most important of all, it has provided an opportunity to honor you with the best gourmet experiences the world has to offer.
