Trio

$$$, Eclectic, Centro

User Rating: **** 4.1

Fodor's Review:

Conviviality, hominess, and dedication on the parts of chef-owners Bernhard Güth and Ulf Henriksson have made Trio one of Puerto Vallarta's best restaurants -- hands-down. Fans, many of them members of PV's artsy crowd, marvel at the kitchen's ability to deliver perfect meal after perfect meal. Popular demand guarantees rack of lamb with fresh mint and for dessert, the warm chocolate cake. The kitchen often stays open until nearly midnight, and there's a back patio and rooftop terrace on which to dine in fair weather. Waiters are professional yet unpretentious; sommelier Cesar Porras can help you with the wine. But the main reason to dine here is the consistently fabulous food at great value.

It didnt do anything for me..

Posted by Janiebii from NJ on 5/5/08

I see a lot of the reviews state best in PV for the price I would say Cafe is the best. dont get me wrong everything was good, but just didnt do anything for me, we were tightly stuck in corner. Everything was good, as well as the service. I was a little disappointed though. After reading all the great reviews about this restaurant. I ordered the Beef Carpaccio, if you order this tell them light on the oil and vinegar. I wore a white silk blouse and put a napkin over myself. the Beef Carpaccio was soaked in the oil and vinegar, too much, so much it actually cooked the beef. Our meals were good, but it was an Italian restaurant that I wouldn't have wasted a night in Mexico on it, rather go to something similar at home.

the VERY best

Posted by uncledave8 from Colorado on 10/24/07

This is without a doubt the best restaurant in the city. The atmoshpere is lovely and service is always incredibly attentive. But, it really is about the amazing food from the owners who are always close by. I have never had a better meal anywhere. I don't really know where to start but the calamari blows my socks off, the pastas are faboo, great mains too (try the rack of lamb. The decadent European style desserts (OMG) are worth the calories. I've been coming to Vallarta for almost 30 years and Trio is the one restaurant I must dine in every visit.

Wonderful Upscale Restaurant

Great restaurant with huge portions (be forewarned that the appetizers are very substantial). The place has beautiful artwork and is a great place for an intimate date.

trio meaning 3 is all you get from me!

I'm very surprised that this is fodors choice! My husband and I dined there only once (with another couple). The experience was very dissapointing. The service was unprofessional (food came out at odd times, we had to remind them that they forgot an entree! It was extremely noisy. There was a wine presentation going on which was impossible to hear. It was a price fixe dinner with wine paring,all inclusive, tip included, until after we paid, then they informed us that the tip was NOT included. Also,they were quite rude about it. Although we gave them an additional propina, it was not deserved and we will not return.
