Al Antojo del Cocinero

A closed-door restaurant where you have to book in advance. Food: Input gratined cheese with lobsters and green. Rich, but cheese covered the flavor of locusts. The main dish recommended us chivito. It wasn't bad, but it didn't seem remarkable. From desserts both the chocolate volcano and almond cake was very rich. The menu of half-float wines (must rotate because we saw photos of better wines), but were not expensive. We spent $5,000 on tip per person. In my opinion there is no good value for quality.

Cozy, excellent dishes and wines, and the kindest waitresses. A must-go restaurant!

Turned away because we did not have a reservation Note* make a reservation before going

We had diner at this wonderful place. From the food to the service we were more than happy. A few but well defined a la carte options. Ask to be seated outside in the lovely patio with a unique atmosphere!

Very passable cuisine, better wine, but the waitress fell flat from the moment I walked in. (And I gave her the chance to apologise. How do I explain this? As someone with banking cards issued outside of this great country, my presence must have been confusing to her. Only after the meal had concluded was I told that sought to charge me an extra 10% based on a newfound presumption that any international card in my possession would be processed as a credit card (due to the fact that I'm not a home-grown Argentinian . However, one of my UK cards worked perfectly fine using her machine's debit card option, as it has done several hundred times before throughout my stay in Argentina, without the need for her to ruin my meal by being so confrontational about a 10% surcharge. Why do I even report this? So that other international guests don't fall into a trap. Take my advice: stand your ground, eat wisely, and wilfully defy any unapologetically unlawful ten per cent taxation. There are always other delicious options on your doorstep. Over and out.
