So many waiters, empty restaurant – and still bad service: Restaurant Zampa (21. October 2017)
At first, the Restaurant Zampa looked incredibly promising – shabby from the outside. Only one door to enter which is closed and you have to know so they’ll let you in. Somehow intriguing, somehow interesting. The place was almost empty when we had arrived and shortly after being seated, some “pizza dough with a mayonnaise […]
A welcoming change to all those parrillas: Restaurant Josefina (21. October 2017)
The Josefina is a lovely little restaurant which offers very good food for fair prices – and definitely more refined than the average place I’ve been to so far (with the exception of 1884). As a starter I went for “tartar de lomo sobre confit de puerros y verdeo, con yema a la plancha, nachos […]
RBF decoration with average breakfast: Restaurant Mirador @ Sheraton Mendoza (21. October 2017)

The most refined food experience in Argentina: Restaurant 1884 by Francis Mallmann (20. October 2017)
