This review is more of a love letter to the restaurant. They 100% deserve their newfound spot on the Michelin guide. I regret to inform you that the menu changes so much that you will be unable to experience the same thing that we did. Even the people behind us had a different amuse bouche. The emphasis on sustainability and creativity is mind boggling.
Hot takes:
This food alone is worth the entire trip to Argentina.
The bread almost made me cry.
I ate ice cream off of a pine cone.
You have to think with every single bite. If you want your food fast, cheap, and big, look elsewhere. That being said, the prices are quite reasonable for what it is, and how much labor is involved.
A taco assaulted me, and my sister ate a ghost.
I'd happily watch them plate all day. Dave and his team cook like their hearts are on fire.
I find myself looking at people receiving their plates with jealousy, knowing they are about to have their mind blown, wishing I could go back to experience it for the first time again.
I've eaten a lot of guys balls, but Dave's sheep testicles were the pinnacle.
Practical advice:
Come as soon as it opens, so you can talk to Dave before it gets busy. He's fascinating to talk to and gives you so much information that enhances the experience. He's humble and kind with a unique perspective. The symbolism and imagery in the food is a deeply woven tapestry that takes you on a journey.
The "Applause for the Grillman" is challenging, but incredibly delicious. I recommend thinking about it as bbq in the shape of ice cream instead of ice cream flavored like bbq.
My sister says "If you can, get the duck papusas".
We took our father here, who has the culinary refinement of a brick. Even he was able to connect with and enjoy the food.
Every cocktail we had was amazing.
Water is free, and a human right.
