This traditional corner eatery is something of a neighborhood institution. You'll
find Argentinian comfort food - simple pastas, steaks and
empanadas
- as well as higher-
end specialties like Patagonian lamb,
ñandu milanesas
(cutlets of the emu-like, flightless
ñandu
) and northern river fish. Elaborate desserts top things off, and a rustic wooden bar
adds charm. The lunchtime
menu ejecutivo
is only AR$70 to AR$90.
