Brindillas Restaurant

The atmosphere was great. We loved the stoneware and how the main focus was around the dishes. The ingredients were very local and fresh and there was a lot of thought in the presentation! Lots of creativity. 5/5 for food and the atmosphere. Our one piece of feedback was around the service - where we felt personalization lacked. The dishes were not thoroughly explained - just some of the ingredients were mentioned. More time explaining the process and inspiration around the dish could have gone a longer way! Overall though, it’s absolutely worth the visit and the value!

Our experience at Brindillas left us with mixed feelings and a sense of wanting more. From the start, there were some inconsistencies in the menu options: we were only offered the 11-course tasting menu in English, while other guests seemed to have a choice between 8 or 11 courses. This alone felt limiting and set a different tone from the personalized experience we’d hoped for. The servers did their best to explain each dish, but the descriptions often seemed too brief, listing just a few ingredients rather than giving us insight into the techniques or inspiration behind each plate. This made it difficult to fully appreciate or understand some dishes, leading to a more subjective interpretation. Some courses, like the pea tart in the snack section and the rice with vegetables in broth, lacked flavor or technical depth. Additionally, certain ingredients repeated across dishes without clearly tying the meal together, which affected the overall cohesion. Timing was another issue; the 11 courses were served within about three hours, making the experience feel rushed. Having recently dined at other Michelin-starred restaurants in Argentina, we were accustomed to a slower pace, with more attention given to savoring each course. For instance, at one point, our server continued asking if we were finished even though we still had food on our plates, making us feel hurried. The sommelier was knowledgeable, though a bit more attention to detail would have improved the experience. Wines were poured while one guest was away from the table, and when we chose wine over whiskey for the final course, it wasn’t re-poured, which felt like a missed opportunity to end on a high note. On the positive side, the restaurant did an excellent job of serving hot dishes at the right temperature, and we enjoyed the beautiful decor and ambiance. However, there seemed to be a lack of technicality and a more personal, expert touch that would have elevated the meal to match other fine dining experiences. Overall, while Brindillas has potential, our visit fell short in key areas, especially for a restaurant aspiring to reach top-tier standards.

This was one of our favorite meals on our trip! The restaurant has an understated elegance sort of vibe, nothing too frilly or over the top. There were only 3 or 4 other tables dining when we went, so it was a very relaxed atmosphere. The dishes were all delicious and the wines were paired excellently. It is a relatively affordable fine dining option as well! Our only critique is that it felt very fast paced, as soon as we would finish our last bite of one dish, it was quickly cleared from the table and a new dish brought out. But overall, a fantastic meal!

Not only reasonably priced, but also new, ingenious, and delicious food! It's far from downtown, but I'm proud that it's well worth coming to eat these! Thank you for creating beautiful memories in Mendoza. The flight strike didn't make it easy for me to visit Mendoza, but the food was impressive enough to make me feel lucky to visit this city. I'll visit again!

We had such a lovely dining experience here, along with the hospitality of the entire team, especially our primary server Camila. We opted for the tasting menu with the wine pairing accompaniment, and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is on a gated lot, but the inside itself is very unassuming, soft, and warm - almost like someone's kitchen or country home. The team surprised my boyfriend with a birthday dessert which was the icing on top of our evening. Be careful if you decide to back out of the parking lot! We got our truck stuck in the ditch after misjudging the driveway to the road, but luckily the (seemingly) whole staff came out to our rescue and we got unstuck and on our way. Hopefully we can all laugh about it someday!

This is an exquisite restaurant. One of the best meals I've ever had and at an unbelievable value and served with humility and good humor. I had to message them a few times via WhatsApp to secure the reservation, but it was well worth it. I really can't recommend Brindillas highly enough.

Everything you’ve heard is true. Inventive, and truly delicious food, paired carefully with local wine and impeccable service at super affordable prices. We did the 7 course pairing and could not have had a better experience. The only nit to pick is the atmosphere was a bit dated, but this didn’t detract from the experience at all. If you’re able to go, you should make it a priority.

A worthy Michelin experience! Great food and simple but classy interior design. The food did all the work!

A WONDERFUL dinner! Whenever we travel, particularly to foreign countries, we try to find at least one Michelin starred recommended place. We've dined in some of those in Chicago, USA, Budapest, Hungary, Paris, France, Zagreb, Croatia, Johannesburg, South Africa, and New York, USA. with the one in Zagreb being a close second, this one in Argentina is the best we've been to! The wine pairings were PERFECTION. Truly unreal. Perfectly paired. The Scotch at the end was a surprise but honestly, also perfect - and I don't even like Scotch! This was a long, slow experience. we were there almost 3.5 hours, but worth every moment and every penny.

Bland and mediocre food. Embarrassed I took my friends here for the price. Service was cold. Restaurant is a bizarre room where you can hear everyone conversations. Will never recommend or return.

Wow! One of the best restaurants in the entire nation! We visited on a few different occasions, and have had both of the tasting menus (one takes 2 hours and the other takes 3 hours). The highest compliment I can pay: this restaurant would thrive in London, NY, SF, or LA. The chef starts with high quality ingredients. The food is cooked to perfection, and plated beautifully and artistically. The menus are creative, and the combinations are always complementary. Delicious flavors. Really outstanding! Service is excellent. Appropriately attentive and good attention to detail. If I lived in Mendoza, I would dine here every week (no joke).

This place is fantastic! Had the full tasting menu in the pics shown here. So so good and great price and service. Do NOT miss this place if you're in Mendoza wine country

Everything is delicious. They offer two tasting menus. Each bite was unique and full of flavor. If you're a foodie you'll love this place. It's the best meal I've had in South America to date. Every bite was surprising and you can bring your own wine.

The best restaurant of our entire week in Argentina! Chef Gallego and his staff have created an unpretentious yet elegant experience. Each course was beautifully presented with attention to every detail. What a wonderful evening of food, wine and friends. Make sure to plan ahead as I see them getting very busy very soon with such a jewel of a creation.

A bit of a ways from town, and not super easy to find. BUT, beautiful setting, caring service, UNBELIEVABLE food and wine pairings, and even more unbelievable in how reasonably priced it is. We are San Francisco foodies, and shared a cab back to town w/a French chef who agreed with us that it was the best restaurant we all ate at in Argentina.
