Tuna Blanca
A more casual iteration of its Puerto Vallarta location, Tuna Blanca faces the water at the north end of Playa El Anclote. Portions are petite, but the five-course tasting menu is still quite filling. Representative courses include a delicious beet-and-goat-cheese appetizer; spinach salad with poached pear and Gorgonzola cheese; salmon carpaccio with lemony scallops tartare; a deliciously tender short rib with pineapple chutney; and, for dessert, vanilla ice cream with mango foam. The soundtrack is sexy Brazilian and jazz, the waitstaff is attentive, and the views are divine. From the deck you'll have the best views of the ocean, Marietas Islands, and the left arm of Banderas Bay.
