26th Festival Gourmet International is on!

The Festival Gourmet International Puerto Vallarta – Riviera Nayarit will take place from November 12 to 20. Twenty-seven regional restaurants will take part, along with 29 guest chefs. These chefs will collaborate with local chefs and staff of the restaurants where they will be cooking. They will be in charge of developing new first-class cuisine options.

Chef Thierry Blouet, the event’s creator, recalls that they were unable to hold it last year because of the pandemic. This year, they were able to re-establish the support of sponsors and participating eateries.

Chef Thierry stated that they are aware that due to the epidemic, there are currently restrictions in both destinations. Regardless of the green light, both Jalisco and Nayarit will adhere to the permissible capacities and all sanitation procedures.

It will be a fantastic event with a circus theme from the 1950s. We will have wonderful surprises in store for all of the attendees. We will make this opening one to remember.
