Two ways to enjoy the festival at El Dorado
Dinner with the guest chef
Ángel Beltrán's menu is served à la carte at El Dorado every night until November 22, November 18 included. Reserve your table on OpenTable and pay at the restaurant for what you order.
Safari Gourmet
A separate festival event: four restaurants, five courses, wine pairings and transportation, starting with a welcome cocktail at El Dorado. $2,900 MXN per person, sold only on festivalgourmet.com.mx, not through El Dorado or OpenTable.
Two chefs, one Pacific coast
El Dorado is proud to be part of Puerto Vallarta's Festival Gourmet Internacional, held every November since 1995. This year we welcome a chef from Ensenada, at the top of the Baja peninsula, to cook alongside our own: two ends of the same coast, one kitchen, and a menu that only exists for eleven nights.
Ángel Beltrán
An acclaimed Baja California chef whose restaurant La Conchería holds a Bib Gourmand from the Michelin Guide. A specialist in seafood and raw preparations, he honors the bounty of the Baja coast with contemporary technique and a relaxed, authentic spirit.
Jesús García Suástegui
El Dorado's resident chef welcomes Ángel into our kitchen for the festival. Alongside the guest menu, the El Dorado festival menu brings house favorites to the table, from blue crab beignets to a US Prime New York steak.
Safari Gourmet starts on our sand
One night, four restaurants, five courses. The festival's legendary progressive dinner gathers at El Dorado for a welcome cocktail at golden hour, then travels on to three of Puerto Vallarta's classic dining rooms, with wine pairings along the way and transportation included.
Safari tickets are sold only by Festival Gourmet International on festivalgourmet.com.mx. Just coming for dinner on November 18? No ticket needed: reserve your table on OpenTable.
