Ayres de Patagonia was the closest I could get to Patagonia, since we visited Argentina during a…read moretime of year where it would've been too cold to creep any closer to Antarctica. And knowing very little about Patagonia, I felt this restaurant did a pretty good job! They go by multiple names: Aires de Patagonia, Ayres de Patagonia, Sabores de Patagonia, Patagonia Bistro, Cocina Patagonia... Located in the business-centric barrio of Puerto Madero, the restaurant is casual but clearly caters to more moneyed porteños and their guests from abroad. The interior is designed like a huge log cabin, with prominent wooden ceiling beams and slightly mismatched details: little Argentinean crafts and stonework all around. The tables are all made of lenga wood native to Patagonia's Tierra del Fuego. The menu offers Patagonian specialties (with an emphasis on game) that are harder to find in Buenos Aires. We went the typical route and ordered the Patagonian lamb for two. What eventually arrived was a casserole dish heaped with colorful winter vegetables and lovely, tender lamb beneath. It was delicious, and a LOT of food for two people. Just like the surrounding area, the vast restaurant was entirely empty during late afternoon. They make strangely good use of their expansive real estate, filling the space with tables with only the smallest of corridors in between, so you'll be surrounded by a million empty chairs and untouched table settings. Compounded with the slightly overbearing service (they insisted on serving the lamb dish onto each of our plates, repeatedly), the experience was not entirely without awkwardness. As a direct remedy to that, our bottle of 006 Patagonia Malbec was great and reasonably priced. Worth a visit? At the risk of totally tokenizing Patagonia in its menu and decor... yes. Aim for when it's a bit busier.

This was my first time here but my mom has dined here before when she visited. Our server was a nice gentleman and older. Most of the staff was older and I liked that because I don't see that often when I dine out. Complimentary bread was provided. I did a house red and the server gave me a generous pour; it was deliciously smooth. My mom ordered grilled chicken (it was a huge portion) and a side salad (also pretty large portion). I ordered beef and chicken empanadas. I preferred the beef over the chicken but both were really tasty. The pastry was nice a flaky and the filling inside moist and flavorful. I had four and as I write this review 4 hours later, I'm still full! Definitely a spot to check out if you are in Buenos Aires!

We typed out what we wanted on a translator app and we got what we ordered. The complementary bread was very hard and I supposed that could be the style but it wasn't good.

More food than we could possible eat. Skip the empanadas and go with the olives and skewer and you'll be full.

Our server is very friendly. And even if he spoke very little English, we enjoyed the experience. We ordered the tomahawk for two. It was a huge piece and it got me worried how we will be able to finish it. First, the tomahawk was not trimmed as well as I expected. Therefore there were big fatty parts and tendon parts. Secondly, there's not much seasoning to it so it tasted too oily. In short, quality was a bit off. Without chimichurri or salsa criolla and not much seasoning, I didn't appreciate the big piece of meat.

Al Carbon turned out to be our very favorite of all the restaurants we sampled -- so much so that we stopped by for one last meal here on on our way to the airport.

We enjoyed the accompaniments of creamed spinach and fries, and absolutely loved the passion fruit "soup." When we come back to Buenos Aires from the States, Al Carbon will be a meaningful part of the impetus to return.
