Mexico Style - La Leche

     La Leche is a fancy schmancy restaurant by PV standards, but I think anyone would be comfortable there. The entire decor is based around milk cartons, so absolutely everything is in white, with milk logos and bottles everywhere. I had to visit just to check out the decor - and with all the different shaped chairs and textures, the white is surprisingly cozy.  I wanted to rip that huge photo of the milk bottle off the wall and put it in my kitchen! The chef makes a different menu every night, which is presented at your table on a big chalkboard, and there are smaller tables, outdoor patio seating, or long family-style tables where you can sit with other groups like my fave NYC restaurant, Asia de Cuba.

  Check out the amazing robalo and scallops dish I had. Yummy!

Mexico Style - Sunset View Restaurant

Puerto Vallarta is located in Banderas Bay, which is the second largest bay in North America. It has tons of waterfront ranging from the Marina (tomorrow's post) all the way down to Conchas Chinas (where the villa for the wedding reception was). The area of Olas Altas, or Los Muertos, is the original fishing village - what the French Quarter is to New Orleans. It has a huge gay nightlife scene, but it is also the oldest part of Vallarta (and my favorite part) and has some great restaurants and shopping. Many people gather at the different restaurants on the beach for breakfast and for sunset watching. My fave for sunsets is El Dorado, which has been newly redecorated with a vintage Acapulco feel. The calamari is the best I have ever had - and the peachy sunset is not too shabby, either.
