Kaiser Maximilian is an oasis of Old World charm in the midst of the tourist bustle in Old Vallarta. The restaurant’s true distinction as an authentic Austrian bistro experience comes from the Old World hospitality of host Bailli Andreas Rupprechter, who uses his impressive experience and credentials in the European and Mexican hospitality industry to ensure that every detail of the dining experience is perfect.

All the elements are there: bow-tied, bistro-aproned wait staff deliver a European standard of service in a dining room adorned with mirrored column, white linens, gleaming tableware and elegant glass-shaded lamps. The only difference from Old World authenticity is where traditional elements of Austrian cuisine merge with local ingredients to forge exciting new alliances.
