The menu has salads with warm shrimp or chicken, a dig a station of grilled provolone cheese, your usual meets with slight twists like a eggplant dip on top of your roasted potatoes with your steak. They bring a bread basket with two slices of tomato focaccia, two slices of a cherry wheat bread, one dense white roll and a slice if a soft white bread. It was served with a pickle aioli topped with shredded marinated carrots. Very light and fresh. We tried the empanadas (3 for $155) and they were made with chopped beef and lots of smoky paprika. It was almost too flavorful and great with the pickle aioli. The warm langoustine salad had only five langoustines (which were nicely seasoned and perfectly tender) but lots of arugula and frisée. The arugula was a bit overpowering versus the langoustines. It had 3 thin slices of grilled peach and 3 thin slices of avocado. It also had about 10 cherry tomatoes and two long homemade breadsticks. The salad was lightly dressed in a lemon vinaigrette. Very fresh, light salad. We also had the small ribeye with roasted potatoes topped with an eggplant spread and a small salad. All great flavors. We had asked for the ribeye to come without the cheese but they forgot. We took it off and ate it separately. Service was friendly and efficient. Certainly a modern version if an Argentinean steakhouse.

Another reviewer made a comment that this is not French food. Well, you're in Argentina so it's going to be their spin on it. Some the salads could definitely be French. It certainly looks like a French bistro with the white tile on the walls etc. We sat outside and the thing started well getting a caipirinha and the cute little basket of bread with the beet dip. We ordered the stuffed zucchini blossom with a salad and the highly acclaimed watermelon and tomato salad. Have always wanted to taste stuffed zucchini blossoms and had no idea how bitter they were. It really needed something sweet to offset it and there was nothing on the plate that could help. The rest of the salad was good with the light vinaigrette and the slices of brie but that stuffed zucchini flower - it was way too bitter. If that's the way they all taste I will never order them again. The watermelon and tomato salad had a very nice vinaigrette with lots of fresh herbs some slices of onion and then some really creamy almost like burrata like cheese. It was fantastic. Then we waited, and waited, and waited probably 45 minutes before we got our entrées which were the garganelli pasta with ragout of lamb and the rectangular shaped ravioli filled with ricotta and mushrooms served with sautéed mushrooms on it. Both were excellent but the lamb ragout needed salt and they had taken the salt away from the table after our appetizers and we did not notice. The ricotta and mushroom stuffed pasta was seasoned with the perfect amount of salt and pepper, lots of butter and nicely sautéed mushrooms that had strong mushroom flavor. We might just return for lunch!

There are several things that made this place average overall…read more First thing was that, on arrival, they didn't have my reservation. I made it by web and finalized with an email from the restaurant. Fortunately, I had the email to show that I really did have a reservation. As we ate, I could see other people being refused seating or offered a place on the sidewalk (and it was 30C tonight). So, if you do dine here, despite what I'm saying, then you'd better reserve and preferably by phone. Next, they offered us a table almost directly on the flight path from the front door about four feet away. I rejected that and asked if they could split an unoccupied twin table set for four against a wall and away from traffic (we were two). They refused and indicated another table where one of the seats was directly next to the door. No thanks. Then they offered us some seats in the back section of the restaurant where some servers were busily chowing down before their shift. Maybe it would look nicer later, but not now. No thanks. Finally they split another table of four so at least we were about 20 feet from the front door but still on a flight path to the rear section. It was adequate. I requested a glass of wine and the pour was skimpy for Argentina. In the USA it would be considered generous/typical, but here it was definitely the skimpiest I have ever experienced. In the middle of eating, a cleaning person appeared with a mop, cleaning the front near the serving counter, and in front of us. I couldn't see any evident need to mop just right now. It takes the ambience down a bit - wait til later or start doing this earlier. The food was great, no question about that. However, it was pricier (check the attached menu) than it deserves to be when compared to other places the same or even better in Mendoza and elsewhere in Argentina. Coming from USA, it's almost embarrassing how low the prices are, but that's not my point. Relative to other places, you are getting less value for this admittedly good food. The place is called "bistro" which may give permission to crowd the tables together. However, seating is a bit too tight. Once again, I say this compared to other places of similar or better rating. Just yelp other places with similar rating to this one. It's undeservedly high in my opinion and that's why I think it deserves a three-star.

After a little over a week of eating nothing but Argentine food, we thought it would be nice to eat…read moresomething else for a change so came by here for a late dinner (at least by our American standards) during our first night in Mendoza. We got to chat a little bit with the first server we got as it turns out she had grown up in NJ as well as in Argentina, kind of like myself. Aside from that interaction, the menu here was the oddest menu we've ever seen at any restaurant - it was like solving a puzzle! I got their paneer tikka masala while my partner got their rogan josh. We also ordered some naan as well as a vegetable biryani. The food was pretty good and the portions were a little more reasonable than portions back home in NY (meaning we didn't have a ton of leftovers after our meal). It may not have been the best Indian we've ever had, and the spice levels were heavily modified to accommodate for local palates, but it still wasn't bad. I would say that this would be a welcome break for those that would like something else than Argentine steaks and pastas and pizzas for a meal while in Mendoza.

We stayed in central Mendoza and it was only a six minute walk from our hotel. The inside has a gorgeous ambiance with several tables for two or four. It's very nicely decorated! We chose to go with the four course meal when making our reservation and it's a good thing we did because it was SO much food!! The food itself was excellent and the rib eye might be the best I've ever had. Each course was lovely and they did a great job of explaining the ingredients to us. We also got the wine pairing with each course. We ended the night with coffee and petit fours. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone going to Mendoza! It's delicious and reasonably priced for the quality and experience!

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary last night at Azafrán…read more The space is beautiful, the staff -- reservations, host, sommelier and waiter Valentina -- was super helpful. We opted for the four-course tasting menu. (The seven course option is just too much for me.) My wife had the wine pairings; I had a glass of fabulous local Cabernet Sauvignon with the main course. I assume the menu changes with seasons so I won't bore you with descriptions except to say that each was lovely. There was an emphasis on local dishes deconstructed and put back together by a Michelin one-star chef. All in all, it was a lovely meal, in beautiful ambience, with amazing service. And a very happy anniversary. One tip: the restaurant's website indicated they were fully booked. I sent a WhatsApp message and it turned out they indeed had a table available.

It is situated on a corner across from a small park with a fountains a view I fully appreciated the next morning during breakfast. They have outdoor seating with a very hipster vibe in both decorations and fresh ingredients. I had 3 meat empanadas and 1 caprese empanada plus a glass of wine that was quite large. They both were made fresh and super tasty. The meat had real chunks of steak, and was juicy almost like a pot pie just not enough to be runny. The crust was fresh and tender as well. $265AP. I returned the next morning for breakfast. I rarely eat breakfast just had been wanting some cut up fresh fruit in my life. It wasn't on the menu, yet the friendly staff made it happen plus my 2 fried eggs and some fresh bread and butter. They went above and beyond to accommodate me and the freshness of both meals and plus the exemplary staff is why I rated it 5 stars. Well that, and the fact the entire staff is muy Bonita!
