Reliquia Restaurante

The food was amazing and the server made great suggestions. I would definitely come back. I had their carrots, the gnocchi, bread, and alfajor dessert (big enough to share).

In a trip that included lots of eating at well-trafficked and popular locations, this was far and away the best. And incredibly diverse menu with zero letdowns. Completely blew us away. Wine selection was both impressive and approachable. Understated decor. Visible kitchen. 10/10. Could not recommend more.

Found this restaurant in the Michelin Guide, and I absolutely loved it. Not only the food was too notch but also the service was superb. It is located in a very lively neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Soho Hollywood which is perfect to walk and discover the different bars after dinner. If you are visiting BA this is a must try. Price per cover was the equivalent to around 40-50 USD

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Michelin-starred restaurant in Buenos Aires, and overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. The food was exceptional, showcasing a level of culinary expertise that truly justifies its Michelin star. The staff were attentive and welcoming, providing excellent service from the moment I made my reservation. As for the dishes, I had the chance to try several, and while many were impressive, a few stood out. The oysters, in particular, were a highlight: fresh, delicate, and beautifully prepared. Another dish that really won me over was the fennel purée, which, although paired with the day's catch, was the true star of the plate. The purée itself was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. On the other hand, the fish didn’t have the same impact — it was good but didn’t leave a lasting impression. The squid, unfortunately, was one of the dishes that didn’t excite me. It was one of the least memorable offerings of the meal. As for the tomatoes, they were fine — well-balanced in flavor but nothing extraordinary. The bread was also fine, though I had expected more given the rave reviews I had seen. While it complemented the meal, it didn’t stand out as exceptional. One area where I believe the restaurant could improve is in the distribution of cutlery and tableware during the service. I noticed that the utensils weren’t changed between courses, which led to flavors mixing between the dishes. This impacted the overall experience, as each course should be enjoyed without contamination of flavors. I had to request a change of utensils, and I think it would greatly enhance the dining experience if the restaurant implemented a more consistent practice of changing cutlery between dishes. This would allow each dish to be appreciated in its full, untainted flavor. Additionally, I was surprised that the restaurant doesn’t allow pets indoors. While I understand the challenges this may present, I think it’s an outdated policy, especially for a modern, high-end dining establishment. Many guests, like myself, travel with their well-behaved pets, and offering pet-friendly options could create a more inclusive environment, catering to a broader range of clientele. I hope the restaurant will consider revisiting this policy, as it could reflect a more progressive approach and enhance the experience for pet owners. In conclusion, while the food and service were top-notch, I believe small adjustments in the overall experience — particularly in terms of presentation and accommodating pets — would elevate this restaurant even further

Reliquia is an absolute gem! Nestled in a prime spot in Palermo, it has the perfect location for exploring one of Buenos Aires’ most vibrant neighborhoods. The ambiance is small, quaint, and personal, creating an intimate dining experience that makes you feel like a valued guest. The staff’s service was outstanding, attentive without being intrusive. They truly care about making your experience memorable. The sommelier’s knowledge was especially impressive; their recommendations were spot-on and brought out the best in each dish. Reliquia combines a charming setting, top-notch service, and an impressive wine selection. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a special, personal dining experience in Buenos Aires!

I was quite excited to eat at Reliquia, but unfortunately the food was bland, tasteless and left much to be desired. Having eaten at many Michelin star restaurants as well as Michelin Bib Gourmand establishments, I can safely say that Reliquia was hands down the worst when it comes to what actually matters: the food! The catch of the day & the lamb loin had no flavors at all. The tartar was too salty and the worst item we ordered out of the bunch. The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely, the service is okay. Definitely do not recommend!

A lovely, romantic spot in Palermo. Wasn’t sure if they took reservations so we walked in at 10pm on a Friday and got the last two top. Felt much higher quality and less touristy than other spots we tried. Took waiter recommendations and loved the pasta dish and the duck! Highly recommend, easy to navigate for English speakers but not touristy.

We had a great dinner experience! Starting with the bread and butter… so important and so many times not given enough attention! The entries and mains, amazing! Raviolis were so good, and the portions sizes, really well served. The service was great, wine selection was excellent! Prices for a Michelin experience were very affordable. We loved it, and the place and atmosphere simple and beautiful! Highly recommended!
