Bonito Kitchen & Bar, Zona Romántica

Amazing on every level. It's definitely off the beaten tourist path....but that makes it even more special. Still walkable from the hubbub of Zona Romantica (I walked there and home), but some might prefer a quick Uber ride. Anyway.... I had the Asian cucumber salad, Phô Dumpling soup, Siracha-honey Wings and Creme Brulee....OMG, so good. And...if you sit in the upper area at the back of the restaurant you'll get to enjoy whatever entertainment is playing from the connected and co-owned Casita & Garden venue. I don't remember his name, but my compliments to the young gentleman server... excellent. BTW, most things on the menu are under $15...!

The staff here are absolutely incredible. The manager is attentive and so are each of the team on their serving staff. I don’t think I could say enough good things about the food; those pork belly dumplings, the pho dumplings, chicken satay, the tan tan ramen and the wonton soup are simply perfect. It’s a must go in PV. I also love the drinks (lychee martini is unreal). They have live music with great talent as well!

A bit of a walk inland from the zone but still worth it. Cute Asian food tasty done right along with the drinks. They also have another Bonito further inland slightly different menu but I love it

As a group with 2x Vegans, 1x Coeliac and a norme, Bonito was a good choice. They had a dedicated gluten free menu and some vegan options. Everyone enjoyed their food, the vegans in our group had 2 different Ramens, I; the coeliac, yellow curry. Everyone thought their food was tasty.

Beautiful restaurant. Patio gardens are peaceful and romantic. Cocktails, creative and well executed. The bar program pairs an Asian flair with the magic of Mexican spirits. Food was delicious. Pho dumplings were meaty and rich. Potstickers, pan fried pork perfection. Biang Biang noodles were toothsome and flavorful. Well worth the visit if you are in Puerto Vallarta’s Romantic Zone.

If you see all my reviews you will see that I almost don’t rate restaurants with 5 stars unless their food is very good. And I just returned to this restaurant after 2 years of not coming and I would like to say that they have improved so so much, the food was excellent, flavours were very good, very Asian and accurate. I liked this place and the food a lot. I highly recommend it!

Love the garden setting. Make sure to reserve a table after 6 so you can get seated there; it’s very relaxing. I enjoyed the gin blueberry lavender drink, yum. The food taste so fresh and unique flavours that I’ll return to next year. I only wish I discovered this place in Zona Romantica sooner…but the Foodie Alert came near to the end of our stay. Oh well, always next year 😃

I loved Bonito. Went the other night with a larger group and got a spot on their beautiful patio. The cocktails were very unique and enjoyable. The passionfruit lemonade apparently was delicious. All the food was very tasty, especially loved the soft shell bao buns, coconut shrimp and the cauliflower dish. The portions are definitely on the smaller side so something to keep in mind when ordering. We didn't realize at first and had to order a second round of food, which worked fine too. Servers were nice, food was pretty timely and the ambience was a+++.
