magic. The menu features an eclectic mix of tra-
ditional favorites such as empañadas , salteñas ,
and the master chef's rendition of the plough-
man's lunch, el lomo del albañil - flank steak
with fried potatoes and guacamole. More con-
temporary dishes include pumpkin gnocchi in a
cheese and walnut sauce, and trout wrapped in
spinach leaves with leeks and almonds. Des-
serts are tempting and just as inspired. Save
some room for the crêpes filled with dulce de
leche, the pear and almond tart served warm
with a dollop of fresh ice cream, the lemon
mousse with rasberry sauce, or the chocolate
nemesis.
An albañil
is a brick-
layer or
mason.
