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

"Just 200 meters from Mendoza’s Plaza Independencia, this corner spot leans into world flavors, offering dishes that range from grilled sweetbreads in a char siu–style Chinese barbecue sauce to gratin cannelloni stuffed with cheese and mushrooms in a caramelized onion Mornay. Staying true to its personal taste philosophy, Soberana offers three preset wine pairings, or guests can choose cocktails from its buzzy bar. Three-course menu for December 31st costs $75,000 (~$50 USD) inclusive of water and coffee." - Guía MICHELIN

"Located just a couple of blocks from Plaza Independencia in the centre of the city, this restaurant is striking for its level of comfort and the elegance of its contemporary and stylishly appointed dining space. It boasts a pleasant terrace by the entrance, a cocktail bar and counter (a feature that is becoming increasingly fashionable) where guests can also sit and eat, an air-conditioned rear terrace, plus a glass-fronted wine cellar, including a private dining space next to it. Under the banner of “world cuisine”, Soberana creates dishes that are based around Argentinian and local recipes but with nods to other food cultures (particularly France, Italy and Spain). Dishes that impressed us here include the onion soup with Gruyère cheese gratin; prawns with rosti potatoes; fideua with octopus, calamari and seafood; white fish; seasonal risotto; rack of lamb with a creamy pumpkin and coconut purée; and the “Aguaribay” pavlova. The Josper oven is one of the restaurant’s hallmarks." - Michelin Inspector

Definitely our best dining experience in Mendoza! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful - cozy and warm dining area with tons of greenery. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. The food was excellent as well and the prices were extremely reasonable. It was the only salad that I've had in Argentina that had fresh greens and high quality vegetables! This was refreshing, to say the least. The t-bone steak was cooked to perfection and came with more lovely vegetables. The crispy pork was also perfectly cooked and delicious. If I ever find myself in Mendoza again, it will undoubtedly be my first dining spot.

We actually passed by and saw it's a Michelin recommendation with lunch set available. So we went in for a try. It's famous for ' cocina de mundo' and we did order the safe options. The Empanada as the starter and a tagliatelle as main. Can't believe it's a 'pile of dough' sticking together, for both of them. While Empanada is supposed to be a national dish, we had better ones in any other places we went. The tagliatelle is a nightmare. They stick in piles with a thick sauce and I believe any Italian chef would want to kill them. I know the lunch set is cheap but that doesn't mean you should compromise on quality and you shouldn't let a lunch set ruin your reputation. Having said that, service is Michelin standard and we love the service staff. They are helpful and nice

Stumbled upon this gem last night for a pre dinner cocktail. Had a delicious bourbon cocktail that I liked so much that I ordered a second. They had a special tasting menu that was ridiculous. Service was friendly and attentive. Great space and great vibe. Highly recommend.

We came for lunch in the middle of the day. The restaurant was not fully occupied, yet it took about an hour and a half before we received our main courses. The food itself was good, but honestly prepared. The steak was much closer to well done than medium rare, and the paella was slightly burnt. For the price level, we expected more precision. After lunch, I asked for two empty glasses with ice to take with us so we could drink a bottle of wine we had purchased earlier at a winery in the nearby park. Yes, I understand it was an unusual request and the restaurant was not obligated to provide this. However, I was refused with the explanation that they only use expensive glassware and were not willing to let it leave the premises. For context, we left a 50,000 pesos tip for this lunch. In a neighboring restaurant, we were immediately given two proper glass glasses with ice, free of charge and without any deposit — they simply asked us to return them. We did return them and ended up buying additional food there to take away. That contrast highlights a significant difference between having Michelin stars and delivering truly thoughtful service. To summarize: food 3 out of 5 for the price point.

We came in here for a couple cocktails before heading off for our evening and the staff was lovely, the espresso martinis were excellent, and the atmosphere was nice. Can't speak to the food but everything coming out looked good!

Overall the service was pleasant, the only good thing was our server, he was really lovely and professional. However there was a lot of staff standing everywhere and not attentive to the room. The plates were very slow to be cleared and it was hard to get the attention of someone to get the bill. We were sat at a table right beside the bar/ server station, where it was a high traffic area and all the staff stood right in front of our table with their backs turned away the entire dinner. Above all, I went in person a couple of days prior to make the reservation because it was a special occasion for my dad’s birthday. I specifically went in person to make that reservation and make a note for the occasion and no attention was given for the birthday at any point, not even when the dessert arrived. Despite the manager confirming that something would be done. The person who took our reservation , who again I suppose is the manager sat behind the bar in front of the computer and didn’t give any attention to room or the guests in the room. The food is not good at all. I have worked in fine dining and Michelin starred restaurants for many years , unfortunately I think that even for a Michelin recommended restaurant this place has a very long way to go. This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to leave a poor review .
