Puerto Vallarta has always been a place for romance — golden sunsets over Banderas Bay, warm nights, and the kind of scenery that makes ordinary moments feel like a movie. For a proposal, honeymoon or anniversary, few things beat a private dinner for two, cooked just steps from where you're staying.
Why a private chef makes it special
A restaurant, however nice, is still a restaurant — neighboring tables, a server's clock, background noise. A private dinner is yours: your terrace, your music, your pace, and a menu built around the two of you.
- Total privacy for a proposal or a quiet celebration
- A personalized menu — recreate your first date, or favorite dishes
- The setting you choose: poolside, on the beach terrace, or by candlelight indoors
- No interruptions — we plate discreetly and give you space
A romantic menu to set the mood
We keep romantic dinners elegant and unhurried — usually four to five small courses so there's time to savor each one.
- To start: oysters or tuna tartare with a glass of sparkling
- Sea: aguachile or seared scallops
- Main: filet mignon with red wine reduction, or lobster risotto
- Sweet: dark chocolate tart or mango-coconut panna cotta, two spoons
The most romantic restaurant in Vallarta is the one with a table set just for you.
Planning a proposal?
We've helped set the scene for plenty of them. A few things that help it go perfectly:
- Tell us the moment you want to pop the question (often between main and dessert)
- We can coordinate flowers, candles and table styling
- Arrange a friend or photographer to capture it discreetly
- Let us know any meaningful dish, song or detail to weave in
The details we handle
You focus on each other. We plan the menu, shop, cook, plate, and quietly clean up — leaving you to linger as long as you like. For more on what a private chef experience includes, see our full villa dining guide.
