The chef behind this intimate Palermo Hollywood spot spent years cooking in some of Buenos Aires' most ambitious kitchens before reimagining Argentine home cooking through a contemporary lens. The menu changes constantly based on market availability, but you might find things like slow-roasted lamb with fermented peppers, fresh pasta with bone marrow and crispy sage, or Patagonian trout with smoked eggplant. The portions are generous, the plating is beautiful without being fussy, and the flavors are bold and unapologetically Argentine. The space is snug and minimalist, with an open kitchen where a small team orchestrates the nightly service with quiet intensity. It is the kind of place that locals keep trying to keep secret.

The tasting menu if it's offered—usually 4-5 courses that showcase the kitchen's range. Otherwise, start with whatever involves offal or fermentation and share multiple plates. The homemade pastas are standouts.
Dinner Tuesday through Thursday when the chef has time to interact with diners. The restaurant is tiny; book ahead or prepare for disappointment.
Seating is limited to around 20 people. The menu is in Spanish; ask questions. Wine pairings are available and thoughtfully chosen. Come hungry and open-minded—this isn't your hotel concierge's steak recommendation.
