If you're craving French food while in Argentina, look for this spot!…read more My friends and I were casually walking back to the hotel and looking for a place for dinner. We stumbled across this place. We walked in and spoke with the owner who is French himself. Even though it was packed we were accommodated within about 8-10 minutes. There were 4 of us. The menu has all the French traditional dishes you expect. I ordered the escargot and other appetisers included oysters and French onion soup. The food tasted incredible! Fresh, hot and seasoned well. I ordered the salon, other orders included beef and duck. Everyone was completely satisfied with their dishes and I can tell you my salmon was amazing. Our dinner was accompanied by great Malbec (when in Argentina get great Malbec)wine. The ambiance in this place was great, very lively and loud as everyone had been enjoying their dinner. The price was very, very reasonable. I can't say if it's expensive for locals with the Argentine peso, but for US dollars this dinner was super cheap for us. A must go if you're in the neighbourhood or in BA!

I went in with high expectations, which were not met. The…read morefood is amazing, don't get me wrong. I had the pork belly and egg bowl, very filling, the textures are lovely and it packs a nice spicy punch flavour. My issue here was the service. It took about 10min to get seated, even though there were at least 4 tables open. Then another 20 to get drinks, which the waitress promptly forgot and had to retake the whole order. We ended up flagging down another waiter to finally bring us some water after 40min waiting. We were sitting right in front of the pass, so we saw our food come out. Now, it took the waitress 10min just to see the food there and another 5 to figure out / remember where it was headed. My 7 year old daughter ended up screaming HERE, THAT'S MINE! so we could receive our food. All and all, the food is amazing and will definitely come back.... Once you re-train the waiting staff.

Mixed feelings about this place, with roughly a dozen visits under my belt. When I first started…read moregoing there about a year ago, I was completely enamored of it. Basically gastropub food with spicy Asian influences, mostly in the form of kimchi and sriracha sauce added to various staples like truly excellent burgers and tacos. Over the last year, they've added in a full on menu of various "bowls" - mostly a handful of toppings strewn about on top of rice, salads, and a slew of coffee drinks. The influences from various Asian cultures continues, with a bit of Korean, a bit of Thai, a bit of this, a bit of that. But, as they've been more widely discovered by the local porteño community instead of just expats, they've also dumbed down the spice level of things - on my most recent visit two dishes were so lacking in spice and so sweet they could have come out of any neighborhood cafe/patisserie on the ladies-who-lunch strips of Recoleta. Plus, prices seem to have crept up by close on 50% over the last year. Service has gone from friendly and welcoming to a strange hipster-ish style that's neither of those. I don't begrudge them success, but its a shame the success has come at such a cost and price.
