Trio is the current darling of Vallarta restaurants, with diners beating a path to the modest but stylish cafe where chef-owner Bernhard Güth's undeniable passion for food imbues each dish. Trio is noted for its perfected melding of Mexican and Mediterranean flavors. Chef Güth combines local ingredients with impressive culinary experience; memorable entrees include San Blas shrimp in roasted red pepper and mango sauce; herb risotto with toasted sunflower seeds and barbecued quail; ricotta ravioli with sun-dried tomatoes; and pan-roasted sea bass with glazed grapes, mashed potatoes, and peppered sauerkraut, served in a white pepper sauce. These dishes may not be on the menu when you arrive, though -- it's a constantly changing work of art. The atmosphere is always comfortable and welcoming, and the chef regularly chats with guests at the end of the evening. The rooftop bar area allows for a more comfortable wait for a table or for after-dinner coffee. A real treat!
