Dining Destinations for Christmas and New Year's Eve in Buenos Aires and Mendoza

"At the Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires , the festive spirit is in full swing, with the aromas of panettone and nougat filling the dining rooms. The hotel, awarded two MICHELIN Keys , hosts a Christmas Eve celebration at its onsite restaurant Elena. Executive Chef Juan Gaffuri showcases Argentina's finest products in a specially crafted four-course menu. The experience begins with Patagonian trout tartare, tapioca crunch, and trout roe. It continues with sepia ink and octopus arancini; pecorino foam carbonara pasta; and the catch-of-the-day with mandarin gastric. It finishes with a pasture-raised beef chop served with gírgolas and portobello cream. For a decadent yet restrained dessert that hits all the right notes, there's a 70% chocolate ganache with coffee toffee and caramelized pine nuts. The festive decor, toasts, and pairings with cocktails and wines from Catena Zapata will surely get you into the holiday spirit. The seven-course menu with wine pairing is priced at $300 USD on December 24th, with an exclusive $500 USD menu for hotel guests on the 31st." - Guía MICHELIN
