"It’s a must. A local secret . It’s been around for the last 20 years but small and sexy. The food matches the staffs energy. The food was absolutely amazing. I thought my mouth was in heaven. After being around the SA block this was liberating. Viva la Argentina cuisine. They mix the chiefs to keep it young and vibrant. Such a great little place a must if in town. Coming from a London Xpat who is normally spoilt for choice this ranks highly on the list. Do or dare you won’t regret it."

"Great restaurant. Very cozy atmosphere, great service. Amazing wine list. Highly recommend the artichokes, asparagus and the merluza negra. Homemade vanilla ice cream was yellow, showing the quality of the free range eggs used in making it. Will be back for lunch during the week as loved it so much."

"Great little gem with a Michelin star, tucked away in the institute of architecture ground floor. The space is skin to a coffee shop, not a lot of tables. Food was very good and fresh but leaned on the salty side. The standout was Patagonia lamb, absolutely incredible. I would have said the shrimp and chorizo is just as good, but the couscous was over marinated and the saltiness prevented us from nibbling more. House red is malbec and an incredible vintage. Service was slow and then shockingly when hubby's plate of couscous with shrimp, baby squid and chorizo was served, we looked everywhere in the plate, couldn't find shrimp or squid. Staring now at a place of three chorizo chunks, we were like "what? Didn't we read there is shrimp in this dish?". When we flagged down one of the waitress she said they forgot to add the shrimp and squid and snatched the plate off our table. A while later, the plate was restored to what is supposed to be and tasty. But this is obviously a first for us, in a comical way. For a starred venue this is less tolerates. That said we got a complimentary slice of cheese cake and some dessert wine, and thought it was a good gesture."

"Lovely hidden resto in Palermo with special cuisine, the menu changes every time because they use all fresh products. It's kind of a mix from the french cuisine."

"Boutique gourmet. Excellent food and service for a moderate price. Ring the buzzer if the entrance is locked. 6,000 Person included wine, coffee and dessert. (Get the lava cake). They also make their own bread and serve it with browned butter."
