in Recoleta in 1993. Among the most formal
and elegant dining rooms in the city, the res-
taurant is decorated in pastel shades with
plush backed armchairs at each table and pink
candles and flowers everywhere. A central
table displays the special salads prepared for
the day's menu as well as suggested wines. The
menu changes frequently so as to use the fresh-
est ingredients. The large shrimp with sesa-
mes, Chateaubriand with bearnaise sauce and
roast duck with cassis wine sauce are excellent.
Finish with a light dessert such as sorbet or
fruit tart.
Less formal in decor and serving lighter food,
La Cave
, on the lower level is equally delight-
ful. The decor features country French furni-
ture and low ceilings with hanging wine racks
and long crusty breads. Enjoy a steaming bowl
of onion soup covered with melted cheese, or
garlicky escargot, smoked salmon and salads.
Same owners as La Bourgogne. Take-out
cheeses and gourmet foods as well.

Eclectic
Moderate
With a menu that ranges far and wide, appeal-
ing to many tastes, Clark's remains a favorite of
porteños
and visitors to the city. It usually
boasts an outstanding chef (Gato Dumas
worked here) and the menu and decor are care-
fully planned.
Clark's II
(downtown) is
also highly rec-
ommended.
