Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The twelfth edition of Vallarta Lifestyles' Restaurant Week is approaching and 41 participating restaurants are getting ready to feature their special, fixed priced menus for foodies to savor throughout Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit, from May 15-31, 2016.

Since its first edition in 2005, Restaurant Week has provided diners with a unique opportunity to experience new restaurants' delicious offerings or simply enjoy their favorite ones at reduced prices. As a result, Restaurant Week has become one of the Banderas Bay region's most sought-after culinary events.

Taking place every year from May 15 to 31, this year's edition will include 41 of the finest establishments in town, which will be offering three-course menus — with three options available for each course — at $229 or $349 per person (tips and beverages not included).

The success of Restaurant Week over the years can be appreciated by the large number of restaurants participating year after year. Sixteen restaurants have participated for the last three consecutive years, and the following seven restaurants have not missed a single edition: Archie's Wok, Café des Artistes, Daiquiri Dick's, El Arrayán, Kaiser Maximilian, The River Café, and Trio Restaurant Bar Café.

There are also seven restaurants participating in Restaurant Week for the first time this year: Barrio Bistro, Benitto's Paninoteca, Cucco's Market Bistro & Café, Fish Market Restaurant, Maia, Pizzeria La Dolce, and Sonora a la Parrilla.

A change in this year's event that everybody can look forward to is the enhanced Restaurant Week Menu Guide. "We've modified the dimensions of the menu guide, such that this year it will truly be a publication you can — and want — to carry in your pocket," commented organizer, Paco Ojeda. The Restaurant Week Menu Guide will be available at all participating restaurants in early May.

The list of this year's 41 participating restaurants and their menu prices follows. For more information about Vallarta Lifestyles' Restaurant Week, please email restaurantweek(at)mexmags.com.
