This is the best meal I’ve had in Argentina so far!! The flavours of both our meals were sublime and cooked to perfection. The service was incredible and very attentive to our needs. This restaurant is a MUST if you’re coming by Purmamarca and looking to try classic Argentinian dishes!

Went for lunch. Empanadas are small but amazing. The special salad was enough to share between 3 of us. The steak is great, the waiters and the owner give an amazing service. 10/10

We had grilled llama, beef, and chicken breast — everything was delicious and the atmosphere was great. All the meats were tender and flavorful, and the staff explained the difference between the beef and the llama, which was really nice.

A high end place to have a lovely dinner at great value for money. Was here 13 years ago and came back now, loved it both times. A must.

Fantastic value! Cute little restaurant in an old converted home a block off the main square. Quiet, romantic ambiance and good service. Yummy food, we enjoyed the mixed grill or Asado plate for 2. With wine, coffee and dessert it was only $35USD

The restaurant is definitely high end for the town. The decor is nice, the service is formal and attentive, and proces also reflect this. The food was also good, but maybe not outstanding. I didn't quite grasp this until I tried similarly higher-end restaurants in other nearby towns (Humahuaca). Thenfoodninnthese other places felt authentic and also very tasty. Food was still good though, I enyoed myself quite a bit. It just didn't feel "top-of-the-line" good.

Very good restaurant , we had a lovely lunch. We had the Tabla Caliente with 3 types of meat (Llama, Cow and Pork) and the grill veggies. They have good wine selections and the restaurant is very beautiful decorated inside.

Amazing choice of local dishes and great vine! The place is more touristic, but definitely bothers the curiosity! Very clean, quick and good service! Highly recommended!
