The River Cafe Description
The cool, tree shaded veranda of the River Cafe is the perfect place to sip a cold drink, eat lunch or dinner, and watch the Puerto Vallarta parade go by. Located on an island almost directly under a picturesque bridge that spans the River Cuale, it's got the vibe of a Spanish or Italian balcony, surrounded by potted plants, cool tiles, and the lap of the river below.
Planning Notes
- Shopping alert. Right next door to the River Cafe is the artisan market that lines the River Cuale. So if your kids are tempted by brightly colored beads, clothes, and toys, you may be in for a bit of the gimmes. On the other hand, this is a must-stop for shopping, so you eating at River Café can be a twofer for the time-crunched. And if a break from your teenager sounds like an opportunity to you, let them head out for some souvenir-hunting while you wait for your orders; the first row of stands is close enough that you can call out the front door when the food arrives.
