Chef Polo Cortes has created a unique dining experience that everyone is raving about. After twenty years of cooking in gourmet restaurants in France, Germany, Spain, Costa Rica, and Mexico, Chef Cortes, opened his own place here in Puerto Vallarta, in the Caloso neighborhood (just behind Old Town).

The room is warm, artful, and beautifully designed. The menu is ambitious, and the cuisine is fusion-a masterful blending of elements of European Cuisine with the flavors and recipes of Latin America. The food is simply amazing. Chef Polo Cortes has created a culinary sensation!

Co-owners and chefs Emiliano and Laura, blend Mexican Cuisine with European and Asian influences. The food dazzles with a complexity and balance of flavors. We recommend the short rib, in a port sauce, with sweet potato puree and corn.
