Food was delicious. Short rib dishes were a standout as they were cooked to perfection. Baked Brie appetizer was just a delicious but small bite, so order one for each person in your party. Portions overall were two bite size but this is perfect given the number of courses. However, my husband ordered a double portion of his entree. Wine list was good and service was impeccable. Get there early as restaurant is small and seating limited. Decor was dark and castlel-like. No windows and it was a warm evening, so it was a bit warm and stuffy. Phone flashlights were used all around us to read menus. The food was excellent but I gave 4 stars for atmosphere. I was glad to get back outside after dinner. read more

I had such a delicious meal at Bordeaux when visiting PVR and staying at Secrets. We arrived a little later in the night as to avoid the long wait so when we did show up, we were able to be seated right away. Our server was over quickly and took our drink order. We also had some bread brought over and water glasses filled up. Many items on the menu sounded great, so I selected a few to try. I started with the Rockefeller oysters, had a cup of the lobster bisque and my main entree was the ratatouille. My hubby ordered the Niçoise salad, the onion soup and the filet mignon (server recommendation). Everything was remarkable and tasted so good. The timing in between courses was perfect as it gave us time to enjoy our dish and take a break before the next one arrived. Our server made sure we had lots of wine and was checking in on us often. The service was fantastic! For dessert, we had a small assortment of items including creme brûlée, chocolate mousse and a tropical fruit pastry. Everything was divine and a perfect way to end the meal. I am so glad we tried this spot during our trip and can't wait to visit again. read more

I had such an amazing time with people who work there but food was horrible and it's very small portion. Service was great. Full of mosquitoes. Dress code is dumb read more

Our server Jose went the extra mile during our anniversary dinner on Tuesday. Great food,attentive service, and just an awesome experience.

4.5/5 stars This restaurant is located in the Secrets hotel. Since we bought a bottle of wine at a different restaurant, we got to make a reservation in the wine cellar, which was gorgeous! At the wine cellar, they gave us a black currant martini and offered a set course with a salad, cauliflower soup, short rib crepe, a choice of a main dish (fish of the day or filet mignon/shrimp), and dessert. You can substitute anything and order appetizers. I asked for lamb shank for my entree. For appetizers, we shared the beef tartare, salmon mousse, foie gras, escargot, french onion soup, and scallops gratin. Most of the appetizers were just all right. My favorites were the escargot and the scallops gratin. The lamb shank fell off the bone and was very yummy. For dessert, I got the chocolate souffle, which was hot and fluffy just the way I liked it! I also appreciated the candle and the singing for my birthday celebration! read more

Impressive!!! In every way shape and form! Had to dress up as who would have thought going on a vacation for Labor Day weekend would require someone in business casual/formal attire? Esp. 85 degrees with 74% humidity. In this part of Mexico to find a fancy French restaurant seems odd but went with the flow! Everything was perfect except for the pear dessert where the dark chocolate mousse was left off of it. Once I mentioned it to the server to ask what happened? He then brings out a small plate with some dollops of mousse. Didn't know why they just didn't recreate the dish and start over. Oh well, at least everything single thing was exceptional and beautifully prepared. Would die to go back to this place and try other items! read more

For an All-Inclusive restaurant, this is probably as good as it gets - the dress code makes you feel like you are enjoying something special. A wide selection of dishes to choose from - goat cheese salad, cheese plate, foie gras, escargot, steak, onion soup, fish crudo, rillettes de saumon, coulibiac de saumon... (menu changes daily). We reserved a cellar dinner one night with Alfonso being our excellent, low-key waiter. He helped us pick out a five-course meal among which the confit de canard (very moist, flavorful), and crème brûlée were stand-outs. Although perhaps not what you could get in France (especially dessert-wise with the mille-feuille or opera), the service was top-notch. They brought out a birthday cake and sang for my husband, an unexpected surprise. A few more French wine options would be nice (the lowest, a Beaujolais Villages started around 1,400 MX or $70), but we enjoyed the MacMurray estate Californian pinot we had. A must visit if you are staying at Secrets Vallarta Bay. read more

This was one of our favorite meals at the Secrets Resort in Puerto Vallarta. Having a craving for French food, we decided to try this place out on our first night at the hotel. For starters, we ordered the Salade Chévre Chaud, a Goat Cheese Salad with Lettuce, Raspberry Vinaigrette and Caramelized Walnuts and the Classic French Coquille St Jaque, Sautéed Scallops Served with Mushrooms in Creamy White Wine Sauce. Both were delicious, but the scallops were exceptional. For our main course, we ordered the Le Boeuf Bourguignon and the Langoustine dish with polenta. Again, both were fantastic but the langoustine dish stood out and we argued over sharing this one. For dessert, we split the Soufflé Aux Chocolate, which was the perfect amount of warm chocolate to cold vanilla ice cream. Great place to start out your vacation, with beautiful dishes and a delicious selection. read more

all-inclusive package is the way to go when visiting Mexico ! Secrets Vallarta Bay is no different. one of the restaurants included is Bordeaux. I tried this conveniently located French restaurant on my stay. My family overall really enjoyed our experience & will be back! The scallop entree dish was phenomenal! It was my family's favorite order of the day. We even ordered additional plates! The brioche de foie gras was also another amazing entree. My family agrees with me that the entrees (appetizers) were tastier than some of the "nos viandes" (main dishes). However, we thought the French onion soup was average and would not get it again. Main dishes: 1. Langoustine termidor (scampi sautéed with mushroom flambée and lobster bisque au gratin) was DELICIOUS! 2. Le boeuf bourguignon (beef braised in red wine) was too dry for my liking & a little too salty. Dessert: creme brûlée was the perfect size & was delicious! read more

Must say we've really enjoyed dinning here in the past. Tonight's dinner in the wine cellar was not great. Food was cold and was blah. We did enjoy $400 in good wine. The worst part of our experience was the temperature in the room, Uncomfortably HOT! Asked to have temp adjusted three times and it never happened. read more

Bordeaux was surprisingly delightful! I'm not usually a fan of French cuisine, but my meal (boeuf bourguignon, salad and Mille-feuille) was the most delicious one I've had, yet, at the resort. The experience was heightened by an excellent waiter, Aldo, who was extremely professional, attentive and efficient. The experience stood out from all other meals, prompting me to actually write a review! Thank you! read more

I cannot stop thinking about how amazing this place was!! We started with bread, the raspberry goat cheese salad, and French onion soup. All was amazing and the service was so quick. There is an extensive wine menu, but it does cost extra. The entrees were good but could definetly use some salt because there wasn't much flavor. The other downside was the salad seemed old and wilted. Not that big a deal everything was delicious. That's the only reason it lost one star (wilted salad, extra cost of wine, and lack of salt). read more

Bordeaux - French onion soup - French Near Me - Puerto Vallarta, JAL

Fine french dining in the middle of Mexico. Not entirely sure what I was expecting, but I'd give this a solid four stars. Overall quality of food is pretty high, service was excellent. (Not to mention the experience of having a nice dinner without having to lock down a reservation or worry about a pricetag is pretty great.) Having read in advance that this was one of the best restaurants on the property, I made it a point to go the first night so I could return if I liked it. And return I did! I'd call a few of the items "interpretations" of French: -Tuna tartare appetizer. Eats much more like a poke (still good!) -Thousand leaves dessert. More like a multi-layered birthday cake. (didn't get the second time around) Entree assessment: -Rack of lamb. Pretty well prepared. -Fish. Pretty solid. Would get this again! Unfortunately didn't get it until my last night. -Steak. Average, little chewy. -Duck. Below average. Don't order this. Salad was mediocre, but in the midst of an all inclusive you do find yourself wanting some vegetables. Dress code definitely enforced here. Wear that collared shirt! read more

Delicious meals, and the restaurant catered to my food allergies. They went above and beyond for our honeymoon!!

We stayed at the secrets resort and this was our favorite restaurant by far. The only issue is that the potions are REALLY SMALL!!! Order several of the same food and ask them combine it. By far the best dish was the lamb shack which is only 2 pieces. As for the salad, skip it and go with the French onion soup. As for the deserts, the crem brûlée was pretty good. Skip the soufflé. It wasn't great. The service is 5+ but food can be a hit or miss. read more

This place was actually pretty good considering it's at an all inclusive resort. We had the filet, onion soup, salad, and mussels. Finishing with the soufflé. The filet was cooked perfect but was definitely a cheaper cut. The mussels were huge and delicious. The onion soup was standard and the salad had a good dressing and goat cheese. The soufflé was yummy. I would eat here again if I stayed at secrets again read more

I've been here many times and the service never disappoints! 5* for service! The food is good, nothing special, just fancy plating - so 5* for effort! I've been spoiled with great tasting food all my life living in Vancouver, so it's not fair for me to judge this restaurant. It deserves 5* considering its in an all inclusive resort. Had: Tart - 2* Foi gras - 1* Shrimp crepe - 5* Chicken cordon bleu - i didn't order it but it looked dry - Lamb - 2* Duck - 3* Beef steak - 4* Souffle - 3* Overall - 5* for experience Taste - 2* And because of the great service, this restaurant gets an overall 4 stars read more

Wonderful ambiance, professional wait staff, (Hector and Aldo), and the most delicious French cuisine with a distinguished twist. We recommend the following: mussels, tuna and salmon tartare, French onion soup, lobster Creme soup, scallops, salmon, and for dessert please try the pear n apple tart with macadamia ice cream or Creme brûlée. The wines and Mexican coffee is also an added bonus. read more

Bordeaux is a restaurant at the all inclusive hotel, Secrets, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It is the best place to eat here! We love it and have come here for dinner almost every night of our vacation. I don't know what I'll miss more: lounging at the pool or this restaurant! Also, if you are here you will definitely want to sit in Raul's section--he is the best!!! And have the pear-apple tarte for dessert-the best! read more

For being a "French" themed restaurant I was incredibly disappointed in the bread, the French cheeses included Swiss and goat cheese, they didn't have langoustine due to "a poor quality shipment" the substitute was three pitiful shrimps, and my dessert was a crème brûlée that went through the fires of hell before arriving at my table. read more

Poor quality. The worse place we are at in this resort. We were told that there were no tables but when we showed up the restaurant was almost empty. Wish it was full. If you are a wine drinker you will also want to avoid this place. Terrible wine list. read more
