July 26, 2010



Long considered one of the top gastronomic destinations in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta is home to a vast array of restaurants serving a wide variety of cuisines to suit every taste and budget.

But with so many great places to dine in Puerto Vallarta and around Banderas Bay, it can be difficult to single out "the best of the best" so, every year, Virtual Vallarta's Readers' Choice Awards give residents and visitors alike an easy way to acknowledge their favorite restaurants.

Now in it's ninth year, this annual online survey allows voters to determine who will be taking home the top honors in any or all categories of this locally coveted awards competition. Votes were cast online on VirtualVallarta.com from mid-December 2009 through June 15, 2010 and tabulated electronically to ensure accuracy.
