The year-long wait for exciting gourmet meals at fast-food prices is nearly over, this annual event happening May 15 - 31. So if you've been putting off trying some of those great eateries you've been hearing about, or are dying to go back to some you know you love, these 17 days are your chance to do so without breaking the bank. You've got a wealth of venues to chose from, 35 in fact, some offering both lunch and dinner and others dinner only. But whatever way you slice it, even if you make the most of this event by eating both lunch and dinner out every day for the duration, there will still be a restaurant you won't have time to experience! So we suggest getting off to a running start May 15, paying just $149 or $249 pesos for a complete three-course meal — with options within each category so you can customize to suit. You will find all the menus and prices and everything else you need to know on this site at www.virtualvallarta.com/restaurantweek, as well as in the latest issue of Vallarta Lifestyles.
