"It's not easy to find a restaurant that specializes in fish and seafood in these parts, but Roux's house favorites include locally sourced oysters, calamari steak, grilled shrimp, and griviche, a seafood salad with baby squid, mussels, prawns, and cured trout. The kitchen is known for its simple and elegant presentation. Chef Martin Rebaudino worked for years at Oviedo, a legendary spot known as one of the first fine dining restaurants in the city. A few years ago he opened Roux, a quaint corner bistro near the Recoleta cemetery." - Celeste Moure, Allie Lazar
"On rare days when I have time for a leisurely midday meal, I choose Roux: a compact venue whose kitchen masterfully blends technique and respect for the product, reflecting chef Martín Rebaudino’s experience; the menu highlights Argentina’s finest local ingredients—from Atlantic seafood and farm-raised pork in Buenos Aires province to lamb from Mendoza and kid sweetbreads from Córdoba—drawing on French, Spanish, and Argentine traditions." - Guía MICHELIN
"When we think of a French bistro we all have a general idea of what to expect. This corner restaurant, complemented by small pavement terraces on each side for alfresco dining, boasts an intimate and attractively classical interior with tables set close together, a kitchen that is partially visible from the bar, whitewashed woodwork and large windows that provide plenty of natural light. Chef Martín Rebaudino who, as part of his career path, travelled to Europe and had the good fortune to share a kitchen with legendary Spanish chefs such as Martín Berasategui, Juan Mari Arzak and Pedro Subijana, offers an extensive contemporary-style à la carte with French, Spanish and Argentinian influences that includes an appetising array of hot and cold starters, delicious risottos, and top-quality red meats. If you sit out on the terrace, you’ll almost feel as though you’re dining on a Parisian boulevard!" - Michelin Inspector
"What looks like a cute little corner bistro in Recoleta is actually one of the most popular fine dining joints in Buenos Aires. French-Argentine Roux is the place to order things that aren’t beef-centric, like the octopus risotto and beet carpaccio, or anything with foam on it. If you want to dine in a unique space, book the table inside the cava, the wine cellar in the basement. This white-tablecloth spot is definitely on the more expensive side for Buenos Aires, but totally worth it." - martin chavesta, annie bacher
"A contemporary cuisine restaurant run by chef Martin Rebaudino, known for detailed, flavorful dishes like warm oysters, carpaccio of roasted yellow beetroot, and Segovia suckling pig." - The MICHELIN Guide
