Just superb traditional Argentinean food, great appetizers, our favourite one was the cheese and anions empanadas, for second course we chose the Baires plate, is a little bit of everything meat, the meat was cooked to perfection, and dessert was probably the best in town, we tried the “hot and cold cup” and the “almendrado”, we planing to come back and try the pasta next time.
