A great place where local artists rent a space to showcase their art and be able to sit and have a cocktail and food. Them French fries were quite good. That sangria was probably the best I've ever had!!!! Service was excellent and I loved the variety of art on the walls throughout (ALL FOR SALE) provided a great back trip to the atmosphere. read more

My brother and I were looking to get a Moscow mule cocktail drink. To our surprise, we discovered a beautiful art gallery around the bar. The bartender was super sweet and made us a delicious drink. The gallery was so big and displayed diverse artwork. They had three floors full of beautiful artwork. We also observe some artists painting the best pieces in person. A few of the paintings really touched us. Unfortunately we couldn't buy a lot of paintings because we had to travel with them overseas, however we did purchase a couple. If you're looking for an open art gallery, depicting a variety of artists then you need to check this place out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Stopping for a glass of wine, we found this cute little collection of galleries. Each artist has a small space to display their art. The French fries were the best in PV. read more

Haven't found a bad thing on the menu. Grilled chicken Caesar salad was huge and chicken grilled when ordered not from a day ago. Same with chicken parmigiana . Chef is great and staff friendly and efficient. read more

This has become my favorite restaurant in PV. Every dish I ordered was quite tasty and wonderfully seasoned. The prices were very reasonable, and excellent service. The ambiance is hard to beat; you are surrounded by small artist studios on multiple levels. I plan to return - and already have. Tip: half price margaritas 4-7 pm and all day Wednesday. read more

Wowzy! I have been a regular customer since 2019. I have supported and spent thousands of dollars here. Tonight I wanted to order chx Parmesan. It came with an odd assortment of extras. None included the word pasta. I asked to pay for pasta and I was told that was not a choice.... read more

Feb 2024 Update - I love this restaurant. Great food at reasonable prices, friendly staff and a nice setting. Their Margarita's are definately top shelf in my book where you get half off from 4pm - 7pm which lines up beautifully with our normal dining time. This is definately one of the better dining spots in old town and not to be missed. read more

Puerto Vallarta has so many top notch eateries, it's harder and harder to wow me anymore. But, Qulture did. Qulture is situated a few blocks out of the crush of most of the restaurants along the Malecón and south of the Rio Cuale in the Romantic Zone. As such, we might not have found it since we enjoy the on-foot experience in PV and its a bit out of walking distance from where we stay. Whatever means you find necessary to get there, Qulture is worth the trip. We started with the Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms with Parsley Lemon Dressing, an outstanding collision of flavors enough to seduce the affections of any carnivore. Also, the Coconut Shrimp with Spicy Orange Marmalade blended sweet, savory, and crunchy with the tender butterfly shrimp. To round out our choices we went for the Pulpo, octopus gently boiled and seasoned. Dessert was Chocolate Bread Pudding with ice cream, a sweet crumble, and topped with a buttery Bourbon sauce. Like, wow. Qulture is also part art gallery, part rentable art studio space, has a full bar, and a menu that we felt we could not exhaust had we been able to come over and over. The inside is festive and full of local artists' work. The restaurant and bar are on the ground floor, the second floor lined with studio spaces and a balcony. The space was formerly a motel with room doors facing inwards. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and delivered with excellent service. Qulture is a must-visit! read more

UPDATE: The artists at Qulture stepped up to resolve our issue, which shows how special this art community is and exemplifies what has drawn us to Qulture Galleries over the years. I'll leave the original post below for context, but the short story is that we bought a painting at Qulture in February 2024 from artist César Valencia who was displaying and selling art there as a guest artist, but not a resident artist (although he represented himself as being a resident artist including when we talked with him, via Google Maps listing his place of business at Qulture and two Facebook pages indicating he was an "artist at Qulture"). Trusting our previous positive experiences at Qulture, we paid US $650 for a large painting of a fish that Cesar agreed to ship to us, but the painting never arrived and Cesar told us it had been damaged in transit and he did not have the time or ability to fix it and re-send. He refused to refund our money or figure out a compromise and just took our money. Too much time had passed and our bank was unable to reverse the charges. We brought this to the attention of Qulture via the original review below, and Qulture's owner and the resident artists jumped into action to help resolve the situation. They were unable to obtain a refund from Cesar, but offered to paint and send us a replacement for the piece that we never received. A huge thanks to Barbara Stenz, Marg Heeney, Julia Swann and Gabriel who helped us resolve this issue and especially to Barbara Stenz, who graciously agreed to paint and ship us a replacement piece free of charge, which we received in November 2024. What was originally an infuriating, disappointing and depressing ordeal that we thought would preclude us from ever wanting to go back to Qulture again turned out to be an example of the spirit and energy that drew us to Qulture and its artists in the first place. We are looking forward to returning to Qulture when we are in town early next year to thank everybody in person for rectifying this situation. **** ORIGINAL POST BELOW ***** SCAMMED OUT OF $650US - BEWARE BUYING ART HERE! We bought an awesome large paining of a fish from César Valencia for over $650US and since it would have been expensive to ship on the frame, he suggested having him dismount and ship it as a roll since he had apparently done that with a client recently. We paid for the piece via credit card through Qulture and were excited to receive the piece in a few weeks. A month went by and the piece had not arrived so we contacted César to see when it might arrive. He informed us that the piece had been damaged during shipping, but that he was going to pick it up from the shipping company, try to repair it, and then send it again. Several weeks went by with no word from him so we contacted him again and he said that he was busy and was trying to repair the piece, but that it would soon be done. Weeks went by again and when we contacted him for an update, he said he was too busy to repair the piece and send it back to us. We were naturally very disappointed, but just asked him to refund our money on the credit card. He agreed, but several days later said he had no idea how to refund our money and said that he would keep trying to fix the painting and send it to us. Given how slow it had been and that we didn't know how damaged the piece really was and if it would even be in a usable condition if and when it arrived, we suggested that we find a way to reverse the credit card charges with our credit card. We agreed to try to dispute the charges with our bank, but after a month, the bank ultimately said that the vendor would need to reverse the charges and denied our request. When we let César know what happened, he initially agreed to give us a full refund via PayPal, but then changed his mind and said that he only wanted to give us back 70% of what we paid, not including tax and additional credit service charges. His rationale was that it was our fault that the painting had been damaged, and that we should be liable, because it would not have been damaged if we did not need it to be shipped. He admitted that the piece was actually too damaged to re-sell. However, that was the last time we ever heard from him and he has been completely unresponsive to our multiple attempts to contact him for over two months now, as of the time of this review. It looks like we got scammed out of over $650, which at least to us, is a lot of money. We are sad and disheartened by this whole experience and hope that others won't make the mistake that we did by trusting that we would be treated honestly and in good faith by Qulture and its artists. UPDATE: We finally heard back from Cesar after nearly three months and he refused to reimburse us any of our money or send us the painting that we bought. He called our request "ridiculous." Again, so very sad, confused and disappointed by this experience at Qulture and Qulture Galleries with Julio César Valencia Art. read more

I have mixed feelings about Qulture. I love the space and concept. I wish they had a better atmosphere. The jalapeño poppers were delicious! Made fresh and well prepared. I tried the all you can eat ribs special for the entree. The ribs were terrible. Very tough, chewy, and bland. No one should be forced to eat that. read more

Years ago, this space was a little hostel with a restaurant run by a renowned local chef (La Luna Cafe) who teaches cooking classes. I was there for the closing night of friends and family so many years ago. It is great to see its transformation into art space and delicious restaurant again. I enjoyed the 1/2 price margaritas (65 pesos and strong), two sliders (120 pesos), a side Cesar salad (45 pesos), and the free bread pudding offered exclusively with Yelp check-in! The salad was excellent. And I really liked the blue cheese slider. It was a nice light early dinner before some street tacos for second dinner. read more

Such a great place! Went on a Sunday to catch the end of happy hour and get the special on sliders. Drinks were amazing thanks to Veronica, bartender, and the coconut shrimp were really tasty! I think the Cole slaw under it was even better! The bacon&chs sliders were just okay as well as the pulled pork slider. Not the best thing on the menu but definitely a value. Friend had the ribeye strips and it was incredible!!! A Mexican take on Texas steak fingers! Go and take in the gallery spaces. So cool. Grab a drink and peruse! Will def be back. Also, I hope it's okay I took a couple of pics of the gallery... all for posting for reviews! read more

Great food, great drinks, great service. They offer a really lovely menu and have lots of vegan options which is difficult to come across in this town from what I understand. This is a lovely location surrounded by various mini art studios in an open air setting. There is cover for when it rains or the sun is directly overhead. read more

I was searching for "hot and new restaurants" in the area and Qulture was one of the listings that popped up. The food pics looked amazing, so we has to try them. ATMOSPHERE: Located in an area of Zona Romántica I've never ventured into, sat one of the coolest restaurants I've been to in a while. A spacious courtyard with indoor & outdoor seating gives way to a central bar, open-view kitchen, and two levels of surrounding art galleries in individual rooms, akin to an apartment building. You can eat, browse and purchase art on the spot! MENU: Mix of apps, salads, soups, pork, seafood, poultry, meat, desserts. FOOD: Coconut Shrimp with Spicy Orange Marmalade - $5.00 USD IMO, coconuts belong on trees, not on shrimp. Opinion aside, the six pieces weren't overly coated with shreds of the stuff which made it palatable to me. Went well with the sweet chili sauce and fresh coleslaw. Seafood Stuffed Portobello Mushroom - $6.25 USD No idea what kind of seafood was in this but it was really good. The single mushroom cap was piled pretty high with a moist "seafood" mixture and cheese. Cream Cheese Stuffed Jalapeños - $4.00 USD The menu states "six peppers" but there were just three on the plate, stuffed with shredded pork and wrapped in bacon. Spice level was mild. Anything wrapped in bacon tastes good, right? Bacon Blue Cheese Sliders - $6.25 USD Three sliders came to a plate. The patties were moist and juicy, topped with a big onion ring and blue cheese. Shrimp Bisque - $4.75 USD Brovo for being served searing hot! The soup was ultra-rich, sweet and salty with tasty notes of char from the bits of shrimp. I couldn't finish the whole bowl due to the richness. Bacon & Blue Cheese Wedge Salad - $4.25 USD The easiest-to-make-salad in the world was good here. Fresh, tasty dressing, but topped with too many red onions. New England Style Crab Cakes - $13.75 USD The two patties looked great but were made up of too much onions and garlic and not enough crab meat. The only disappointment of the night. Peppercorn Crusted Beef Tenderloin - $19.00 USD You can't go wrong with meat and potatoes! We asked for medium rare and got exactly that. The meat was flavorful and tender, the mashed potatoes silky and creamy. Stuffed Pork Loin - $12.50 USD The portion was smallish but the taste and tenderness made up for it. The raspberry chipotle sauce gave the dish a nice balance of sweet and savory. DESSERT: Chocolate Bread Pudding - $4.25 USD This dessert is free with a Yelp check-in but I didn't need to redeem it as they gave it to our table for our anniversary. It was a big portion that the four of us couldn't finish. Moist, sweet and sinful. Thank you! SERVICE: Everyone was fantastic, from Claudette to our server, to even the cleaning guy who assisted us in the days after our dinner with picking up a painting my spouse bought. Communication was flawless. The painting was stripped from its backing and bubble wrapped well for its journey to Maui. OVERALL: Nice concept, affordable, delicious cuisine, outstanding service. A definite return! read more

I had a fabulous dinner here tonight. They have some great vegan and vegetarian options. I started with their spinach salad. As you can see in the picture, they were very generous with the fruit and almonds. Next I had their Thai quinoa bowl which was just the right amount of peanut and spice. I finished with the chocolate avocado mousse which was to die for! I also really enjoyed the live piano music. read more

The coconut shrimp is delicious and actually pretty sweet tasting in a great way. French fries were also good. We ordered to-go at lunch and it was ready in -15 minutes, just like they said. read more

I think we came on a bad night. The order took a bit to be taken. The food took 40 minutes to arrive, and the dishes were bland. The salmon really had no flavor, even with salt. The service lacked, sadly. Yet, that extra star to a three is for the chocolate bread pudding. It was amazing and delicious. We shared it between us two, loved it. Get it!!! I wish the staff area was not literally in the middle of the room. We tried waving to get the check Nope. They all were chatting. If they were at least hidden, Ida not felt so ignored. Finally, I walked up and asked for the check. We just wanted to leave, it was a bust. To their credit, there was a 12 top that was loud. Another star goes to the gallery. Loved them. I won't do the food again, but I'll certainly return for art. It was all nicely priced and some fantastic pieces to simply admire. read more

5 star ambience with 5 star food. An interesting concept.........bar/dining and kitchen on Main Street level. Upstairs are individual art studios featuring Puerto Vallarta artists. During evening hours, wander with cocktail in hand into the various suites to get a feel for each artist. Food is exceptional as are the 2 hosts. They make certain your time with them is relaxed & enjoyable. Full bar. Credit cards. Mixed gay/straight. Newly opened so not well known yet. Be there & enjoy becoming a regular. Music some evenings. A must try. read more

I was looking for something different for lunch and I had passed by here many times but never went in. Qulture is a half art gallery/restaurant and I was curious to see how all that came together. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and fries which really hit the spot. Service was great and I even got to take in a little bit of art during that time. It will be interesting to see what they do next and I wish them the best of luck. read more

I've been here several times, helps that I live 1 block away. Each time I come here I get the beet salad 1/2 order, it's VERY GOOD. Plus I get a different sandwich. Today I tried The Smoke Salmon with cream cheese, onions, cappers, on a fresh Chipotle bread. It was TOTALLY AMAZING. The staff is very friendly, professional and the service is awesome. read more

Fun spot where you can eat good food surrounded by eclectic art!

I really enjoy this restaurant. What was once a hotel has been converted into a restaurant surrounded buy artist studios. The hotel rooms now house art from different artists which hang along the walls of the restaurant all with available pricing. The service was excellent. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the building, the artists and the food. He had various other staff members assisting him along the way who were all very nice and attentive as well. The menu has many vegetarians and and vegan options which I defiantly appreciate. The quality of the food was excellent. I will say the quinoa black bean lettuce wraps weren't my favorite. Probably would be better if it were made into an appetizer to share and a smaller amount. It was just a bit repetitive so making it smaller and shareable would help that IMO. But overall everything else we had was great. All food was made from scratch in their open kitchen with fresh ingredients. They offer a full bar, beer and wine list. The location is just outside of the main restaurants and bars in the area but we walked from our hotel on the beach and glad we went a few blocks outside our general vicinity to discover this gem. read more

Went in for a small bite to eat and a couple of drinks. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous with various art pieces along the walls and an art gallery in the front of the restaurant. The small bar in the middle was great if you didn't prefer a table. The restaraunt is fairly new and not known by many yet but I'm sure that will definitely change. I went in in the evening around close to closing but the waiter tells us they have events all the time and live music during the day. Definitely a nice place to take a loved one, a first date, or the family. I will be visiting this place again the next time I come back. read more

Easy online reservations, we had 10 people, great atmosphere. The boutique rooms surrounding the dining area are nice while waiting for meal. Our waiter was angered when we asked to separate the bill. Three of the meals were cool and had to be sent back. Food had great flavor, but service was disappointing. We were there at 8pm and served at 9:30. Dessert at 10:30 we left at 11:15. Service way too slow. The potential is great but management needs to get waiters and kitchen staff in sinc.
