Delicious food and a really wonderful dining experience with attentive service. I walked in around 7pm on a Saturday without a reservation and was greeted warmly by the receptionist. She found a table for me within a few minutes, which was a great start to the evening. Our waitress came by to explain the menu and shared some recommendations. She was professional but also very approachable, and took the time to walk us through each dish, which I really appreciated. We ordered the grilled avocado, mushroom pâté, focaccia bread, potato with stracciatella, and the fugazetta pizza. Every dish looked beautiful when it arrived. My favorites were the grilled avocado and the mushroom pâté — both were packed with flavor, earthy and rich, with just the right touch of acidity from the pickles to balance everything out. The fugazetta pizza was exceptional too, especially the perfectly caramelized onions. For dessert, we had the citrus, strawberries, almond crunch, marshmallow, white chocolate, and tangerine cream. It was light but full of complementary flavors. The creamy sweetness paired really nicely with the crunchy almond crisp, and the citrus and strawberries kept it fresh and bright. You could tell it was thoughtfully put together. Overall, this is great food and a place everyone should try when visiting Buenos Aires. It’s a refreshing break from the usual steak and meat-heavy spots you’ll find around the city.

Rather disappointing experience all around. In my reservation, I stated that I had an allergy to chili, yet they were unwilling to accommodate any of the dishes to not have it which ended up being the vast majority of the menu, including dessert. My meal consisted of mostly bread and drinks, most of which was not good. The asparagus was the best, albeit rather oversalted. Bread and flan were good. Pate was rather bland and the cold infusion was very diluted, generally water with a slight essence of herbs. Cucumber drink was good, yet small. The ambiance could have been great if it wasn't unbearably hot with fans that did next to nothing, so I was sweating during the entire meal at night, made even worse by incredibly uncomfortable metal chairs. To top it off, I was largely ignored from the minute I was seated, to the point of suffering from the extreme thirst.

Awesome vegetarian restaurant! Beautiful location and cool vibe, great selection of food. Recommend the sweet potato and mushroom pizza and charred avocado dish in tiger milk.

Needs some deflating. Lovely setting. 2:1 staff-to-client ratio. But $15000 for a gin and tonic.. ugh. $8000 per Bao, they better be pretty spectacular... But they weren't. The service better be killer... But our Muppet disappeared for 15 minutes when time for the bill. Nice gardens but the experience did not justify the price or ratings.

Fantastic food and a cool vibe. We're not vegetarian and we ordered some adventurous items because of the good reviews and everything was fantastic. We got the mushroom patte with focaccia, the watermelon tostada and the cashew/squash/mushroom pizza. We were super skeptical about the pizza but it was so good. Everything had a lot of flavour and was delicious. I would say the service wasn't great. Waiters took a while to come around. We showed up without a reservation though and they were able to squeeze us in which was great.
