The 10 Best Brunch Places In Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

We begin our list with a location that Puerto Vallarta is famous for, the beach. La Palapa takes the relaxing brunch to another level, with efficient and personal service, which can all be enjoyed while feeling the sand between your toes. While not specifically offering a brunch menu, this family restaurant combines fresh, local ingredients with Asian and French elements, making for some undeniably unique and tasty brunch options at a reasonable price. The selling point here however, is the combination of such good food with such an amazing view.

Dine in Hacienda San Angel Gourmet, the restaurant of the hotel famous for hosting Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton during their tumultuous love affair, and see why guests continue to flock here year after year. Their seasonal Sunday brunch menu is truly exquisite, featuring stunningly well-put-together dishes which only complement the superb surroundings. Enjoy a beautiful view of the sea as you dine in this hacienda style restaurant, surrounded by ivy-covered stone walls, fountains, and an overall atmosphere of luxury. Take note that the brunch is by reservation only.

Fusion Gourmet doesn’t offer a specific brunch menu, but it does have an excellent if slightly limited breakfast menu that can be enjoyed all day. The restaurant is hidden away in a tranquil spot, and the surrounding area is quiet making dining here a peaceful experience in comparison to many places in Vallarta, and you can get your day off to a great start here before exploring other neighborhoods. Aside from the location, the service is attentive and the prices are extremely reasonable.

For those looking to splash out on brunch and turn it into a truly decadent affair, La Villita, the restaurant located in the Sheraton Hotel, is the place to be. The weekly Sunday brunch not only includes live mariachi and marimba to put you in a real Mexican mood, but it also offers unlimited champagne. The food itself is a buffet, and includes a wide selection of eggs, salsas, and fruits among other things to choose from. The service is also incredible.

Avoid those boozy brunches and start your day off with a refreshing take on brunch at Playa Detox. The recently opened and locally owned vegan restaurant and juice bar focuses on cutting the acidity from our diets. The coconut ceviches, piled high on a crispy tostada, are a standout menu item and offer a fruity twist on the classic beach front favorite. Combine with a fresh cold press juice for a pleasingly healthy brunch. Handily located opposite a beautiful yoga studio, Playa Detox is a must-visit for those feeling the effects of holiday overindulgence.

Coco’s Kitchen is not a restaurant that specifically offers a brunch menu but the breakfast menu here is delicious. Featuring an eclectic mix of options ranging from the standard eggs and pancakes to stuffed French toast and chile relleno omelettes, the menu is truly a treat which will get your day off to the right start. When you enter, you’ll be welcomed by Coco’s daughter and invited to take a seat in the lovely garden, which just adds to the relaxed and refreshing atmosphere of this familial brunch spot.

Perhaps one of the more modern, sleeker restaurants décor-wise on our list, Kubli’s Café Bistro is open all day. Stop by and take advantage of the breakfast or lunch menu, as the food here is delicious. We recommend trying the eggs Benedict and eating outside on the quaint patio. The coffee here is absolutely delightful too, so if you’ve had a heavy night perhaps avoid the hair-of-the-dog, champagne-serving spots and head to Kubli’s instead for a pick-me-up cuppa.
