 W have have had Gazpacho soup on our menu for about three years now and people love it! and many are asking us what we put in there so keep it simple it is; plum tomatoes seed taken out, a piece of peeled garlic, a few pieces of bread ( we use day old ciabatta), extra virgin olive oil, ice cubes, a splash of red wine vinegar, salt & pepper to taste and few drops of Tabasco sauce. Blend in mixer and serve with chopped cucumbers and bell peppers…daily @ lunch & dinner

 In our bar we are doing some new drinks as well like seen above Vitea Special, Kir Martini and Cucumber Margarita. and off course traditional great drinks, ice cold beer and wide variety of wines suiting all kind of tastes.

Our True Heroes

These are the people who make it happen in our small restaurant. Many times we do not take the time to think how much effort it takes to run a restaurant open 16 hours/ day/ 365 days a year. Their invaluable work and commitment towards our guests and service has proved to be a true recipe for success. With our deepest respect and appreciation. Muchas Gracias por su Trabajo !!!

Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)…

@ Vitea we have a simple dish on our menu it’s grilled tender octopus, Mexican chorizo, potatoes and parsley with a splash of fresh lime juice and some other stuff. People love it! And we are not pretending anything with this dish. Just plain and simple! A perfect way to finish it off is with a piece of Ciabatta bread mopping up the juices on the plate…actually we see guests doing just that everyday..

Wishing all of our friends

Vitea Oceanfront Bistro is open daily during Easter week for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Did you know that the Christian Easter is most likely derived from the ancient Greek festival of Dionysia and the Roman festival of Liberalia. As the Christian faith spread north, it found spring festivals in the native faiths of the Gaels, Celts and Goths, and absorbed them as well. In fact, these festivals share a place with Holi, a Hindu spring festival, the Sikh harvest festival of Baisakhi, May Day and the various celebrations of the spring equinox. And almost all of these festivals share a tradition of holiday feasting. Come and enjoy our regular menu and specials while people watching at a true Oceanfront Bistro located at the Malecon Puerto Vallarta.
