Black Forest Restaurant

We are located in La Cruz, just 15 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta and are a family-friendly restaurant offering a full-bar and a modern German menu emphasizing on freshness and quality. German cuisine means so much more these days than just sausage, sauerkraut and beer. Rather it reflects today's Germany with its distinctive medley of modernity and tradition. The restaurants menu embodies this fusion of old and new with a fresh, modern twist to traditional meals for you to enjoy. Passionate about food, the Proprietors cook from their hearts and consider the restaurant an extension of their home. Each guest is treated as an invited guest to be impressed with the ambiance, service and most importantly a wonderful, memorable meal. We hope you enjoy discovering more about this increasingly popular cuisine as you journey through their menu of foods and beverages from modern Germany.

We ate at this restaurant two times in one week. Both times we had wienerschnitzel and apple strudel. Both were excellent. Schnitzel is pork, not veal. Only comes with spatzel and red cabbage. No substitutions. Good wines and beer choices.

This was possibly my 4th visit over the years. This time I can saw it was truly memorable. Ambience, service and food quality very good. The pulpo entre was the only disappointment but it’s sauce was delicious. The rest of our food, pastas, fish, grilled veg‘ sand desserts were very good!

Reviewed By Chukrok - Ottawa

If you live in Bucerias lucky you to be close to this restaurant. If you live in PV, make a point of visiting Bucerias and this restaurant. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service is very good. These folks care about their customers and great food. We started with 2 people sharing a salad and 2 sharing a grilled vegetable platter. Those starters were indicative of the great food that would follow. The pasta is homemade and simple to order. Just pick the pasta you want and the sauce you like. Our party of 4 all had different pasta dishes, all were excellent. There are also pizzas and other classic Italian plates on the menu as well as daily specials that all looked great.
This is a new favourite for us and we happily look forward to returning.

Dugarel Plays Restaurant & Bar

Reviewed By jrandalicia - Portland,oregpn

Dugarel Play's (sic) still delivers good food, value and service. The restaurant hovers on stilts over the beach; that gives you breezes and great sunset views. Highlights of a comprehensive menu are the prawn dishes, enchiladas, Plato Mexicano and Margaritas (tread lightly). Dugarel's, unlike many restaurants here, lets in a few peddlers and musicians. For 50P the latter will provide good music right at your table. The waiters operate at mach speed, but when it's crowded you'll spend too much time trying to get their attention.. Tips: Reserve a table on the beach side, come early and order early, and be aware that the "fresh" Mahimahi is probably fresh out of the freezer.

Luna Lounge offers live music entertainment and you can choose to have their set menu prior to the entertainment, or just go for the music. The food, most grilled choices is surprising good, or at least surprised us. We listen to BohemiavivA, who are a couple from the Argentine and were very, very good.
Cheers

Los Pericos

Reviewed By PogoSenior - Williston, Vermont

We keep coming back here for the great food and service but also because this restaurant really reflects a traditional feel for Mexico. It is on a very quiet side street so sitting outside is perfect. There pico de gallo serves with fresh tortilla chips was great. I ordered and loved the chicken enchiladas. It was a large plate and full of flavor. My wife tried the chicken mole which she found good but a bit spicy for her liking. The margaritas are huge and fully loaded. Service was excellent and very quick. Cannot wait to come back.

Restaurant Masala Bar & Grill

Reviewed By Stacy M - Meridian, Idaho, United States

Stopped in for dinner and drinks after our taco tour down the street. We ordered a variety of drinks and dessert. The desserts came quickly but the drinks came out one at a time. With 8 of us that meant it took forever for the last of our party to get a drink. The martinis were strong, almost too strong to drink.
Our favorite desserts were the coconut flan and chocolate mouse. The key lime pie that everyone raves about, was our least favorite. The consistency is off, almost jello like.
The dinner menu looked phenomenal. Had we not gone to Karen's Place, Frascati and La Peska we would have for sure dined here for a nice dinner. Enjoy.
