Kaiser Maximilian is an oasis of Old World charm in the midst of the excited tourist bustle in Old Vallarta, the Romantic Zone.

It doesn't just look like an Austrian Bistro, it is an Austrian Bistro. All the elements are there: bow-tied, vested, and bistro-aproned waiters deliver a European standard of service from Maximilian's sidewalk cafe to its classic dining room. A glimpse through the arched windows reveals a tableau reflected from mirrored columns - white linens, gleaming tablewear, and soft light from elegant glass-shaded lamps. Its refined elegance is contagious, slowing and quieting passers by, who gaze enviously as carefully composed dishes are set in front of the diners.

This is where Kaiser Maximilian's differs slightly from Old World authenticity – traditional elements of Austrian cuisine merge with local ingredients to forge exciting new alliances.

Maximilian's true distinction as an authentic Austrian Bistro experience comes from the Old World hospitality of host Andreas Rupprechter, who uses his impressive experience and credentials in the European and Mexican hotel industry to ensure that every detail of the dining experience is perfect.
