    4.5/5 stars Came…read morehere for dinner (we made a reservation in advance). The menu had a great variety of local specialties. They started us off with bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar - my fave was the breadstick. We ordered 2 appetizers: the antipasti of local specialties and the melted cheese. The antipasti of local specialties included cassava, avocado, surubí croquette, reviro, chipa guazu, and sopa paraguaya. This dish was so unique!! My fave was one of the corn pies (it was cheesy) and the croquette. This dish is quite heavy on the starch, so it is very filling. The melted cheese was spectacular. It was piping hot and savory, and I loved the hint of tomato taste. For my entree, I got the tropical surubí. The fish was mostly flaky and tender, and had some nice crispy parts. A few bites were too salty, but it was overall very enjoyable. My bf got the gnocchi with the shrimp sauce. It was solid. For dessert, I got the chocolate specialty dessert, which consisted of white chocolate mousse over a brownie. I didn't particularly enjoy it. The mousse didn't have the texture of mousse - it was too gelatin-like. The brownie also wasn't very fudgy or chocolatey. My bf got the passion fruit mousse, and he loved it. To end the evening, they gave us some limoncello. Overall, I really enjoyed the meal because of the uniqueness of the local dishes. Service was great. Price was also reasonable for the delicious meal

Steamed veggies were a welcome addition to the mix and the salad was quite good! Soup was not good - ask before ordering. Charming space with colorful artwork.

    This experience has definitely been one of the highlights of my trip! I won't lie, I was a bit…read morehesitant of doing this experience due to the price tag associated with it (~90 CAD), but it was totally worth it! The experience was very interactive and fun. It was done in a small group environment (we had around 10 people), and everyone was very social and welcoming. The experience featured a 10 dish tasting menu, 3 Argentinian wines, an empanada making class, and a mate and cocktail experience. All of the drinks and food were very good. I honestly don't think there was a single thing that I didn't enjoy. The experience did not feel rushed whatsoever, and people were free to drink as much wine as they liked. I also felt like this experience gave me a really nice introduction to a lot of different Argentinian flavours! I got to try alfejores for the first time, and I got to make my very own mate (an earthy tea, that's a very important part of Argentinian culture, and you frequently see people drinking it on the streets). I truly believe anyone that travels to the Argentinian side of Igauzu needs to check out this experience!

    We had a wonderful evening in a small group setting. The presentation is unique with each person…read moremaking their own drink and then an empanada. Pairing wines were combined with each course of the meal. Truly a fun meal experience where you get to meet new people who enjoy a little adventure. Please do not miss this opportunity.

    VERY OVERRATED Our…read moreserver was nice. He was not however, great at his job. For example, he left two unused water glasses on our very small table for the entire meal. He also "hung out" with other staff whilst holding our (and other patrons') food rather than dropping it off. We sat right next to the water feature. Looks cool, right? Yeah, it's covered in flies and other random insects. The little black specks on the table cloth weren't spilled pepper! Fried calamari was spot on! Super crisp outside, tender inside- nailed it! The mixed drink (something fruity with vodka) was also quite good. The bread basket was all stale and crumbly- worst we'd had in 3 weeks in Argentina. We ordered the duo de pescados and caprese salad to share. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENTS the fish was crazy salty and WAY overcooked. Both pieces were literally burned on the skin side leaving the flesh devoid of any moisture- barely edible. The salad was another train wreck. They switched out buffalo mozzarella for a giant log of very dense string cheese cut into pucks. Add some grey, wilted basil leaves, tomato and a pesto drizzle and you have their version of a classic. Wait, don't forget the walnuts. Yep, they tossed walnuts into their ensalata caprese. Crappy tourist trap that you'll never miss. Lots of other great places to dine in Iguazú.

    One of the best meals we had in Argentina Certainly the best value . Excellent service in a…read morecomfortable setting and all the dishes were really good. Two fish plate was excellent. They could improve their wines by the glass offerings .

    From the wine to the food, atmosphere to the service... Everything was fantastic over the two…read morenights we fined here. We loved the pastas. We tried the seafood and prawn spaghettini and the fettuccine bolognese with veal and lamb. The seafood with the spaghetti was fresh, the flavour combination was perfect, the pasta was perfectly al dente. The fettuccine was obviously a house made fresh pasta, cooked to perfection. The bolognese sauce was not the typical tomato based bolognese sauce, but went with the fresh pasta very nicely. We also tried multiple grilled meats... As would be expected from an Argentine restaurant, the streaks were tender and cooked to our tastes. We also tried the rack of lamb, but would not recommend it. It was cooked to our request, but the "lamb smell" was really strong and offputting. Lamb is one of my favourite meats, and this was not one of the best, unlike everything else we ate here. The appetisers, salads, and desserts were all equally delicious. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Recomendamos todas comidas de la carta excepto el "rack" de cordero. Los vinos son muy bien también.
