"Mónica and César's country estate offers a variety of options... With a large grill and the possibility of enjoying individual menus or grilled meats.
It boasts an excellent wine list and reasonable prices.
The restrooms are exceptionally clean, and the tranquility of the place is incredible.
It also functions as a museum where you can appreciate, step by step, how the estate was created and laid out, and where there is also an orange and peach orchard.
There is also a dovecote... And several children's play areas are scattered throughout the grounds."
Gustavo Nieva
"The experience was very good. We went on a Thursday at midday and had a reservation for lunch. We toured the entire property. We missed having a guide to show us around, but they told us later that there are guides available on weekends. Lunch is a set menu, but there's no grill because it's a weekday. What a shame! We ordered the Dorado with fries menu (if you have a big appetite, you'll want more; it's a small portion). It was very well prepared. We had a meat empanada as an appetizer and dulce de leche flan for dessert. The other menu, gluten-free, included matambrito with fries and a gluten-free cheese and onion empanada (also very tasty), and orange flan for dessert. We washed it all down with sparkling water and a pitcher of white wine sangria. We'll be back to try the grill! Before or after entering the restaurant, you can buy all sorts of gifts. Highly recommended."
